Today’s administrative professionals are
crucial to the success of the business leaders
they support. While organizational skills and
attention to detail remain important, they are
being asked to deliver more, especially in the
area of project management skills. We advise
all of our administrative talent to develop these
skills to increase their marketability.

Administrative and clerical
employment forecast
Over the next decade, employment growth of administrative and clerical professionals will keep pace with other
occupations, but will vary by specialty. As these professionals exit the workforce, many companies are replacing them
with workers that can support more than one manager in an organization—and who may also have advanced skills and
degrees, or knowledge of a particular industry.
What does this mean?
Today’s administrative and clerical professionals may face greater employer expectations and stiffer job competition, but
unlike administrative roles of the past, these higher-level positions serve as career springboards—possibly opening the
door to greater career options.
