Is Your Staff Dependable and Indispensable?
Before the 19th century, the words office and staff never had much to do with each other outside the term staff of office. A staff in the shape of rods, wands, batons, and maces signified the position, or office, one held and the level of esteem associated with it.
In the early 1800s, American professionals and merchants started opening offices, and by midcentury staff came to mean typists, clerks, and accountants. When the railroad made its mid-century entry, once-local businesses could cull customers from the whole continent. A century later, the computer connected them to the world. During this time, permanent personnel became de rigueur to keep a growing business running efficiently. A successful business prided itself on a distinguished (and usually recruited) staff — one that made an impressive staff of office.
