BELOW IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY:
She contributed to the establishment of an Administrative Professional Website entitled Admin Central which
was a collaboration of about 15 admins in the APN (Administrative Professional Network) led by her and a
colleague. In order to secure all of the knowledge needed to perform the role of an administrative professional
at the company, this group worked tirelessly to pull together all of the forms, procedures, office policies, travel
information, etc. in one place in order to ease the burden of seeking the most up-to-date and correct
information to perform their jobs. This took months of working independently to locate the links and information
needed as well as working with the IT division and management for approval of the site. The website was
launched for use by administrative professionals but soon grew to be used by the entire company. Another
illustration of her role in operational efficiency was the creation of a Surplus Supply Tea which resulted in over
$50k savings the first year and continues to provide savings by offering a place on the Admin Central website
to list all surplus supplies. The APN uses the site to look for all supplies they may need before ordering from
the company-approved commercial supply company. This team was formed by looking for ways to save
unwanted supplies in areas where groups had moved to a different location in the company and the items
would be left in the area to be thrown away. She saw a need to save money by collecting all of the supplies
and using the company’s warehouse to house the items, have the items sorted, placed on an inventory sheet
on the website and suggesting that admins use the Surplus Site FIRST (free of charge) before ordering new
supplies, thereby saving the company money.
