Modern-day executive assistants are the glue that holds every office together.
In fact, Staples conducted a social media survey questioning the importance of the executive assistant’s role in the office. The survey found that nearly two-thirds (65.2 percent) felt the office would be more likely to fall apart without the executive assistant than without the boss!
