How to Develop and Support Your Assistants

The world’s most successful organisations have one thing in common: they invest in their Personal Assistants and Executive Assistants.

The Assistant Room works with some of the UK’s leading companies to help them do exactly that, invest in their PAs and EAs in a way that delivers measurable, commercial impact. From ongoing learning and development to performance tracking, in-house training and team memberships, we give organisations the tools to support, develop and truly understand the people who keep their businesses moving.

When organisations invest in their assistants, everybody wins.

The Assistant Room has been the go-to partner for forward-thinking organisations since 2016, delivering PA and EA training development and performance solutions that create real, lasting change.

The data is clear: when assistants are properly developed and equipped, the impact is felt across the entire business. Sharper executives. Smoother operations. Stronger retention. A support function that actively drives commercial performance.

The question isn’t whether investing in your assistant team makes business sense. It’s why you haven’t done it sooner.

As the world’s leading membership and professional development organisation for PAs and EAs, we bring training, coaching, community and performance management under one roof tailored to your people and your business.

What Your Competitors Already Know

You're losing great assistants and it costs more than you think.

Replacing a PA or EA costs 50%–200% of their salary after recruitment fees, lost productivity & institutional knowledge. Yet assistants receive less development than any other business function. A team membership with The Assistant Room delivers world-class development at a fraction of a single replacement hire. Retention isn’t a people problem, it’s a commercial decision.

Your executives are only as effective as the people supporting them.

The difference between an underdeveloped assistant and a highly skilled one is measurable, in executive hours recovered, faster decisions and opportunities that don’t fall through the gaps. Investing in corporate PA and EA training is, fundamentally, an investment in your leadership team’s performance. When you develop the assistant, you multiply the output of the executive.

You can't prove the value of something you've never measured.

For most organisations, the PA and EA function is invisible on paper. No performance framework. No data. No way to quantify commercial value. The Assistant Room’s performance management tool changes that, giving organisations real data on assistant performance and impact for the first time, and giving assistants the evidence they need to demonstrate what they deliver.

HOW TO COLLABORATE

Give your entire assistant team access to The Assistant Room, the world’s leading professional development platform for Personal Assistants and Executive Assistants. From on-demand training and live events to peer community and expert resources, corporate team memberships ensure every PA and EA in your organisation has the ongoing support they need to grow, perform and stay.
Bring world-class PA and EA training directly into your business. Whether that’s Jessica Gardiner as a keynote speaker at your next company event, a facilitated roundtable, a lunch and learn, or a full corporate training session, every experience is practical, inspiring and tailored to your team. No off-the-shelf content. Ever.
Our signature in-house tool is the only performance management solution built specifically for Personal Assistants and Executive Assistants. For the first time, organisations can track, measure and enhance PA and EA performance with real data and analytics, giving your business a clear, commercial picture of one of its most valuable assets, and giving your assistants the evidence they need to demonstrate their impact.
Have something else in mind? We’re always open to partnerships that don’t fit a standard format. Whether that’s a co-branded campaign, a sponsored event, a content partnership or something entirely new, if it benefits Personal Assistants and Executive Assistants and aligns with our mission, we want to hear about it. Get in touch and let’s build something together.

Charlotte Campbell

Global Operations Partner

The Assistant Room is the complete all-round support I’ve been searching for. From the amazing concierge service to the endless library of templates, and the invaluable monthly mentoring, it feels like someone has finally cracked the code on how to truly support EAs and other business support professionals. I feel more equipped, connected, and heard! I'd recommend it to anyone.

Executive Assistant to CEO

I’ve been a member of The Assistant Room for about 3 years now and I genuinely don’t know what I’d do without Jess and her incredible team. They support you, empower you, and their ability to turn the “impossible” into reality have been game-changing for me. Jess’s deep expertise and remarkable network of connections make navigating life as an EA feel so much easier. I am endlessly grateful and cannot recommend The Assistant Room highly enough.

Caitlin McCaroll

Senior EA to CEO

TAR is such an incredible network, community and support for all within the PA/EA industry. It's a fast-paced platform of events, workshops and learning. The concierge service service is fantastic; I personally have used this for Exec and Leadership meetings, dinners, hotel bookings and an entire company party. And my favourite part has to be the Community that Jess has pulled together – imagine the very best support professionals, sharing their recommendations, stories & advice – epic!

Gemma Murdoch

Executive Assistant to CEO

I have been enjoying everything The Assistant Room has to offer since I was the only EA at a small beauty brand during COVID. I felt quite isolated in my work until I unlocked a treasure trove of uplifting and inspiring assistants and I haven’t looked back since! You’ll find every resource you could think of here and the in-person events offer so much more than just networking.

Andreea Vilu

Executive Assistant

I joined The Assistant Room early in my career when I was looking for a community that truly understands what being a PA/EA means. After having a call with Jess, I instantly knew this was the right place for me and joined straight away. It’s been amazing ever since! Tamara helped me organise my Christmas party, and the whole process was so smooth and enjoyable. The events they host are always insightful, and the people I’ve met through them have been incredible. I honestly can’t imagine not being part of The Assistant Room anymore.

Abbie Connolly

Executive Assistant

The Assistant Room is fantastic. I have enjoyed every single event I have attended. This group is really like no other. It’s the first of its kind and I don’t believe there are another group of people that will be as passionate and supportive as Jess and the team. Before my maternity leave I would take every opportunity I could to network with other members and it’s always been the best time. I appreciate being a member and I wouldn’t chance it for the world!!!

Our Founder Knows all about your world

Jessica Gardiner has spent years working with corporate organisations, and she understands, better than most, how easy it is to let Personal Assistants and Executive Assistants slip through the L&D net. Not because you don’t care, but because PAs and EAs don’t come with a clear career ladder, a standard training pathway, or a benchmark for what great looks like. So when budgets get allocated, they end up at the bottom of the list.

Jessica knows this because she’s lived on both sides of the desk. She began her career as an EA. Now she has her own. That experience gave her something rare: a genuine understanding of what this group needs to grow, and what it means to a business when they do. Assistants are the only people in any organisation who can start on day one and leave on their final day with the same level of professional development they arrived with. In any other function, that would be unthinkable.

When you invest in corporate PA and EA training and development, you don’t just create better assistants. You create high performers who make everyone around them more effective. Jessica has seen it first-hand, working with hundreds of organisations to do exactly that.

Your assistants are the invisible force behind your business. It’s time to make them visible, let’s work together.
