Office Depot® and OfficeMax® are the Go-To
Sources for Personal Administrative Professional Gifts
Office Depot, Inc. (NASDAQ: ODP), a leading global provider
of office products, services, and solutions, which entered
into a definitive agreement on February 4, 2015 to be acquired by
Staples Inc., offers historical insight and gift suggestions to
help celebrate Administrative Professionals Day on April 22.
There are more than three million administrative professionals
in the workforce today and an expected twelve percent increase in
projected employment through 2022. According to today’s
administrative professionals, office management, travel planning,
meeting planning, project management and online purchasing are the
top five tasks that have become more important over the past two
years.
“Office Depot knows how essential administrative professionals
are to every organization and workplace,” said Nicole Lord, senior
director, private brand growth for Office Depot, Inc. “It’s also
important to recognize these individuals and Office Depot is a
great one-stop-shop for finding a variety of personal gifts.”
According to an infographic on Office Depot’s Business Solutions
Center, an interactive small business online resource, a public
relations executive named Harry Klemfuss originated the idea for
National Secretaries Week. The week, which later became
Administrative Professionals Day, began as a way to recognize and
call attention to secretaries’ skills, loyalty and efficiency.
Lord identifies several products that show appreciation for
administrative professionals including furniture such as an
ergonomically correct desk chair, new computer hardware and
software, as well as desk accessories, such as the See Jane Work®
collection.
“The See Jane Work® line sold exclusively at Office Depot and
OfficeMax offers a wide variety of gifts that any administrative
professional would appreciate,” said Lord. “Colorful and fun
storage bins, journals, notecards and more are all part of the See
Jane Work® line and are a great way to show thanks for all the hard
work they do.”
