It takes specific skills and an understanding of the dynamics of people to efficiently run an office. This Office & Reception Management course is designed to provide employees with those exact skills.
Demonstrating organisational competence in this field opens doors to advancing a career in business. This programme consists of 18 modules, designed to provide insight into what is expected from a person working in an office environment. The industry-approved certificate provides employees with confidence-building skills that enable them to move up in their career.
What’s covered in the course?
The 18 modules cover both office management and interpersonal problem-solving skills, as well as providing insight into how the employee tends to react in these situations.
The office receptionist performs a vital role as the “face of the business”, creating a first impression that influences visitors’ perceptions of the organisation’s culture. Communication skills, teamwork and office administrative systems, basic financial management (managing petty cash and office supplies) are also included, as well as the planning and scheduling of meetings, minute-taking and report-writing.
As the person in this role usually deals with colleagues at all levels of the organisation, it is important that they understand managerial issues and responsibilities. Performance management and appraisals, staff promotions, recruitment and selection, and compliance with equal opportunities and diversity in the workplace legislation are all covered, together with the importance of good health and safety practices. The use — and abuse — of social media and its role in the office environment brings the learner up to date with current thinking in this field.
