Effective office management

(Former name: Office management)

Course summary

An efficient office is often commented on or given due praise. An inefficient office can cause the organisation a lot of stress and strife amongst staff. Planning and co-ordinating the smooth and efficient execution of the workload, building up and maintaining a motivated and professional workforce are only some of the demands of the job of the office manager.

This two-day Office management training course will help you develop an assertive and organised approach to managing people and processes in your office, to facilitate harmonious and productive working. It includes key management skills and planning techniques to improve information flow and achieve objectives.
