Administrative Professionals Day is more than a calendar event; it is a heartfelt celebration of the people who keep our organization running smoothly behind the scenes. At LUCELEC, we proudly recognize the dedication, precision, and heart we administrative professionals bring to our roles every single day. Whether coordinating meetings, managing communications, or supporting strategic initiatives, our contributions are invaluable.
This year I celebrated my first Admin Professionals Day, and the celebrations included a dynamic learning session facilitated by HR Business Partner Kedia Daniel, who guided us through the intricacies of the Employee Performance Appraisal Scorecard. We ended the day with lunch at the Pink Plantation Restaurant, offering a moment of relaxation and bonding for our admin team.
An administrative professional is responsible for a wide range of tasks that ensure the seamless operation of departments and teams. We are often the first point of contact for internal and external stakeholders and play a pivotal role in maintaining workflow, communication, and morale. We often wear many hats and some of our key roles and responsibilities include management of calendars, handling correspondence and communication, procurement processes, making meetings and travel arrangements, document formatting and reporting, maintaining filing systems and databases, supporting project coordination and event planning and acting as a liaison between departments and teams.
At LUCELEC, the admin professionals, Thea Francis-Charlemagne, Martha Felix-Alexander, Cynthia Preville, Karleen Edwin, Niamalikah Gideon-Marius, Chadia Felix and myself, all contribute to our Company’s excellence.
Our role is often underestimated, but its impact is profound. Our presence ensures that the gears of LUCELEC turn efficiently, even during times of change or challenge. We are not just support staff, we are the strategic enablers responsible for improving internal communication and workflow, uphold the company’s values and drive initiatives forward by ensuring timely execution and follow ups.
Like many other roles here, we assist in shaping our company’s culture, elevating customer service, and streamlining the operations of our respective departments, sections and divisions.
To all our administrative professionals, thank you. Your work may often be behind the scenes, but its impact is front and center. You are essential to LUCELEC’s success, and we are proud to celebrate you every day.
