This webinar was held online via Zoom Meeting on Saturday (16/4/2022).

This activity presented two administrative and secretarial communication experts, namely Prof. Dr. Suwatno, M.Si. as Director of the Directorate of Student Affairs at the Indonesian University of Education (UPI) who is also one of the founders of the Association of Graduates and Practitioners of Indonesian Office Administration and Dr. Cicilia Dyah Sulistyaningrum Indrawati M.Pd. as a lecturer in Office Administration Education at Sebelas Maret University.

The 3rd edition of the webinar was attended by the Dean of FKIP UNS, head of the FKIP UNS Office Administration Education study program, UNS Office Administration Education lecturers, UNS Office Administration Education students, and MPLB SMK teachers and students in Indonesia, with a total of 183 registrants.

The digital era emerged because of changes in the invention of various advanced technologies. This technological change, according to Prof. Suwatno has five phases, namely the surfacing phase, the organizing phase, the extracting phase, the anticipating phase, and the elevating phase.

In addition, Prof. Suwatno also said that the development of this technology greatly affected the work in the field of work
office administration. So it is necessary to adjust and use
technology that continues to evolve and even revolutionize because if it is not so, many jobs will undergo changes and even disappear, replaced by technology.

“The development of these technologies automatically greatly impacts the work of the
office administration. Offices need to continually adapt and use
technology that continues to evolve and even revolutionize. One of the consequences of technological developments
is that more and more jobs are changing and even ‘lost’ replaced by technology. Likely, office administration work and public services will also be replaced by computer machines,” he explained.

The theme taken is related to society 5.0, where according to Prof. Suwatno this concept is a combination of digital transformation with human imagination and creativity. The concept of society 5.0 also emphasizes the freedom of everyone so that anyone will be able to get the opportunity to play a role in social and economic life anytime and anywhere.

“The concept of society 5.0 is a middle way or a combination of digital transformation with human imagination and creativity to produce problem-solving and value creation. The concept of society 5.0 also emphasizes the freedom of everyone from disparities caused by the concentration of wealth and information. Anyone will be able to get the opportunity to play a role in social and economic life anytime and anywhere,” he said.

Dr. Cicilia Dyah Sulistyaningrum Indrawati M.Pd. as the second speaker revealed that an administrator must master communication skills, Microsoft office, and have high initiative.

In addition, Dr. Cicilia also gave tips on having young administrator skills in the era of society 5.0, namely being smart. Smart means that an administrator must be able to complete his work quickly, precisely, smartly, and responsively according to the rules.

“Young administrators in the era of society 5.0 must be smart, which means smart, fast, intelligent, and responsive. Smart office is fast, precise, smart, and responsive office work that can be completed according to office management rules,” he explained.
