Overview

WorkSync is a unique training experience that transforms the working relationship between managers and their assistants; boosting their productivity individually and as a team. The three part workshop includes a training session for managers, a training session for assistants, and a joint session at the end in which the new skills are immediately applied by each work pair to create a new action plan. By the end of the program, participants will be able to:

• Align expectations on the level of support and service being provided to the manager
• Improve the frequency and quality of their communication with one other
• Transfer additional responsibilities to the assistant
• Increase their individual and combined output, tapping into underutilized skills
• Breakthrough common barriers and misperceptions regarding each other’s roles
• Connect their priorities and responsibilities to the company’s bottom line
• Shorten the learning curve for future manager-assistant relationships, through practical tools and self-awareness

Who Should Attend?
Managers wanting to make the most of their dedicated or shared support staff in order to maximize their own effectiveness and contribution to their company.
Assistants who support one or more manager(s) in either of the following roles:

*Administrative assistants (i.e., secretaries, administrators,
executive assistants)
*“Apprentice” assistants, on a career path to become the role they are
supporting in the future (i.e., editorial assistants, sales assistants, associate financial consultants)

What’s the Value?
Your company invests in administrative support in order to free your top talent to focus their energy and time on role-specific tasks. Yet, learning to work effectively with an administrative assistant is a challenge for many managers. Consider the significant business strategies these valuable resources drive for your organization. When managers and assistants work in sync with one another, their productivity pays huge dividends to your bottom line.
