What is the State of the Profession Report?

Each year since 2020, we have produced the largest benchmarking survey ever for admins across North America. This research aims to illustrate the current state of the administrative profession, act as a resource among members for self-advocacy, and help organizations to understand this diverse talent pool.

What is the State of Executive Administration Report?

We are excited to also announce the release of our newest report, 2024 State of Executive Administration Report! This one is FREE for all ASAP members.

This research, derived from a segment of executive-supporting admins from the ASAP State of the Profession Report, aims to address the growing need for clarity around the roles and skill sets required of Executive Admins, whose responsibilities now extend well beyond traditional support functions. By analyzing data and interviewing a broad spectrum of stakeholders, this report uncovers the complexities of the profession and the factors influencing EA career growth.
