solutions to problems faced by secretaries:
1. Provision of Adequate Equipment
and Facilities: The job of the secretaries can be made easier if
adequate equipment and facilities are provided and the organisation should
ensure that these equipment and facilities are in good conditions at all times.

2. Recognition of the Importance of
the Secretaries: The secretary should be accorded
the required recognition that is due to him or her in the organisation and
should not be looked at as a mere help to the other members of the
organisation. This will act as a morale booster and also encourage others to
venture into the profession with pride and dignity.

3. Adequate Reward: The

other members in the organisation. This will reduce the apathy which is
experienced by some secretaries in the carrying out of their duties.

4. Specialized Training for
Secretaries: All secretaries should be given adequate training
in all the areas that can help them in their day to day job. This should
include the training and retraining of the secretaries. This can also involve
sending them for refresher courses, seminars, workshop, etc. in order to make
them professionally fit in carrying out their duties in the organisation.
