How AI is Shaking Up the Admin World: What It Means for Your Career

3 minute read

In recent years the rise in Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been massive and has had massive implications on how and where we work. It is natural to be sceptical and questions such as “How will my job be affected?” or “Will AI make me lose my job?” will come to mind. However, AI is a tool that will become more common and should not be feared as it will be used in many admin roles to assist in simple everyday tasks. We have summarised 4 ways AI will affect your Admin career to hopefully put your mind at ease and maybe even encourage you to begin a career in admin.

Enhanced Efficiency

Admin roles often have many responsibilities and due to this over the years the workload in these roles have increased which can lead to feeling burnt out, making more errors and inefficiency this is where AI comes in. AI is amazing at doing simple admin tasks such as scheduling as AI can handle bookings, meeting and handle any conflicts which calendar issues. This reduces the time spent on manually going back and forth with multiple parties.  Another thing that AI can help be efficient with is Document management as AI powered systems can help with organising, retrieving and archiving documents this reduces the time that will normally be spent on searching for files. These are only some of the ways that AI can help with normal everyday admin tasks that can often be tedious allowing you to focus on the more important tasks.

Increased Security

Security is massively important in admin and a breach in secutiry can be very harmful to a business or company. This can be quite stressful for admin workers and can lead to stress. However, AI can help increase security measures drastically and take much stress off the shoulders of admin workers. AI offers increased security for businesses through Anomaly Detection, Real-Time Monitoring and Enhanced Authentication.

The significance of how good AI is in security cannot be overlooked as these features when intergraded can help a company increase their security by ensuring that sensitive information is kept safe. This will take a lot of pressure off admin workers as keeping up to date with security measures can be difficult.

Work Life Balance

Work-life balance is something that is not only important to those in admin but also those in any workplace. Work-life balance can be difficult to achieve due to the high volume of tasks and the busy schedule that comes with an admin role. However, due to the rise in AI, the work-life balance for Admin related jobs has become increasingly better as AI is able to handle a large volume of tasks allowing for admin workers to focus on high-value activities. Furthermore, with AI handling many of the repetitive and tedious tasks, administrative professionals can experience reduced stress and greater job satisfaction.
