Secretaries: the wasted asset.
Too many British managers cannot manage their own secretaries. That is the opinion of Juliet Hepburn, who began as a secretary and is now a leader of a campaign to maximise the use of a much underrated group of employees. The campaign is being run by the Industrial Society - an organisation with 16,000 members, including trade unions - which aims to increase the productivity and profitability of British businesses. It seems unreasonable to waste the time and talents of so many secretaries by limiting their duties to the traditional typing and tea-making activities.
Among the most popular of the 2,000 courses and conferences arranged each year by the society is one called «Helping Your Manager». Four years ago, when it began as a two-day course for secretaries and bosses, the project almost failed, for the simple reason that bosses were not willing «to waste two whole days».
But once a secretary who participated in the two-day course for secretaries, brought in the managers at lunchtime on the second day, and after that things began moving. Now the society runs a dozen of such courses in London and throughout the country, and has had to double its advisory staff to cope with the extra work.
The doubts of its sponsors if there was the need for such a course were soon disappeared. Shock-horror tales of bad office practice began to emerge like copies from a duplicator and often they were as repetitious.
There were the bosses who came to the courses with their secretaries, but they refused to tell the details of their day's programme, or even their whereabouts. A common source of friction was the morning mail. There was one boss who insisted that when he was on holiday his letters should be forwarded to him, and another who would not allow his secretary to open his letters even when he was at work. After taking this course, he agreed that this might be unreasonable, but a follow-up inquiry from the society revealed that he was allowing his secretary to open the letters, but only in his office and under his beady eye. Progress can sometimes be slow.
A senior secretary in a law firm, who had opened everyone's mail since the days when the total staff was two partners and herself, continued to do so when they had expanded to employ 50 secretaries. The result was that the morning mail never arrived on desks before 3p.m.
On a more personal level Mrs Hepburn and her colleagues have been shocked by the number of managers who do not make time to talk to their secretaries on a regular basis.
Even when some enterprising girl makes her own appointment in the diary, that is always the one that is cancelled because of pressure of work. Small wonder that the turnover of secretaries in some companies is 60 per cent in a year.
«All you need to avoid this waste is to invest a little time in motivating secretaries to realise that they are part of the management structure,» Mrs Hepbum insists. At the course secretaries are questioned first of all about their perceptions of themselves. 'Too many think of themselves as only a secretary - an adjunct to, rather than a part of, the management team,» says Mrs Hepburn.
Next the secretaries are encouraged to use their initiative, to anticipate problems rather than to sit at their desks doing nothing. There is talk about office administration - making appointments, controlling a diary and evolving a system for keeping track of earlier decisions.
The importance of communicating - through letter writing, the telephone, face-to-face meetings - emphasised. «An awful lot secretaries would never shake hands with a visitor,» Mrs Hepburn says. When the bosses join the course during an informal lunch on the second day, their reactions never vary. 'They walk straight up to their secretaries and ask, with embarrassed grin: "What have you been saying about me?
