WHO IS OFFICE MANAGER?

Office managers are the jack-of-all-trades of their respective organizations. Depending on the size of the company, office managers may be asked to distribute resources, plan administrative events and budgets, oversee mechanical infrastructures, and coordinate with the human resources department. Essentially, office managers are responsible for maintaining the working integrity of the workplace. They are often stratified into several layers of authority, with managers reporting up the company's hierarchy. Relevant work experience is crucial for office managers. They must demonstrate both their familiarity with, and knowledge of their industry, as well as an ability to lead.

It is of the utmost importance that office managers understand technological trends as workplaces become increasingly automated. And as always, they must keep the company's vision at the forefront of the employees' minds, inspiring passion and practicality in equal measure.

You don't usually need a postgraduate qualification to become an office manager, but some graduates choose to do further study in a business-related field.
