Curious About Office Administration? Let's Explore the Basics and Key Areas Together

I would like to know about general office administration. Can anyone help me specify what the basic jobs of administration are in any company? Additionally, what are the areas of office management?

Thanks to all.

Hi,

Office management basically consists of:

- Office manager: duties and responsibilities
- Office space management
- Office environment
- Office systems and procedures
- Office services
- Office machines
- Records management
- Office stationery
- Office correspondence and mail service
- Communication management
- Management reporting
- HRM

Dear Zanaib Ali,

Duties of Administration are vast. If the position is Director of Administration, then HR, finance, purchase, logistics all report to him.

At a lower level, Admin is responsible for:
- Maintenance of parking facilities for the employees
- Maintenance of the staff cafe or canteen
- Maintenance of the gym
- Maintenance of fire systems
- Maintenance of security systems - physical and through systems
- Maintenance of employee accommodation
- And many others

For your convenience, I have the job description of CGM - Admin. This will give you an idea of what admin is supposed to do.

Thanks,
Dinesh V Divekar

Hi,

It includes absolutely anything and everything. The list is exhaustive. Managing administration is like managing 'your house'; whatever is there and whatever is happening is your responsibility, even if the hand towel needs to be changed in the restroom... it's YOU who should be responsible or delegate responsibility.

Cordially,
