In 2010 Hays won the Executive PA Magazine 'Employer of the Year' award. This award is given to companies who go the extra mile in supporting their PAs and admin staff. The fact that PA Victoria Darragh and Sue Pope set up so many initiatives at Hays is impressive but, critically, Hays continue support and encourage their endeavours.

Last night (25.01.12) was another when PAs (not just Hays PAs - the network has grown beyond that) got to here a fascinating cross section of successful PAs talk about there lives:

After each of the panel had given us a great insight into their particular roles there was a useful Q&A session and, as we see so often, despite the fact that they all work in completely different industries, they share many of the same challenges.
