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.
