EDMONTON (CP) — The
business community has to
undergo fundamental changes
in attitude if it wants to hang
on io its secretaries and keep
offices functioning smoothly,
says Dr. Stephen Kashuia.

Dr. Kashuba, chairman of
the secretarial sciences de-
pariment at Grant MacEwan
Community College, said if
the business community
doesn’t “clean up its act, the
secretary as we know her
today will become extinct.

“She’s already a vanishing
breed.”

His warning seems to be
backed up by the fact that
Canada Manpower, in one re-
cent day, listed 245 secretarial
vacancies in ‘the Edmonton
area.

Dr. Kashuba suggested one
change that might boost the
morale of secretarial workers
is a revision of job titles.

Even the lowest-paid clerk-
iovid be relerred to us
an “adininistrative assistant,”

said, adding this is not just
a gimmick.

  

 

 

‘taries,

“As long as we continus to
categorize pcople as secre-
clerk-typists, mail
clerks,’ filing clerks, sienogra-
phers, ‘there is no way we can
escape the attitude of servi-
tude we have toward secretar-
ial staff.”

A filing clerk should be
called a “‘records and systems
manager; » use of the word

“manager” connotes authori-
ty and responsibility and pro-
duces a_ positive response
from the employee.”

“The secretary is the life-
blocd of the firm. She makes
it go.” The question of salary
is of basic importance.

“ got a call from an ac-
counting firm that wanted a
girl for a secretarial posi-
tion,” Dr. Kashuba said. “We
always talk to these people
about salaries and I told this

_ fellow the girl should be paid

nothing less than $400 a
month.

“When he said’ he coyldn’t
pay her that, I ask him why,
and he said: ‘My wife hes
been here 20 years and she
only gets $320.’ ”

That kind of situation is a
prime factor contributing to
the city’s shortage of secre-
tarial employees, he said.
