5. Office management • Office management is a profession involving office supervisory positions. • People that hold office management positions conduct special studies and based on the results of these special studies, they develop reports. Apart from developing reports, they also provide input to management on the development of policies and procedures. Office management may also provide paralegal support, and may draft correspondence for management, schedule appointments, etc.

6. Main functions • The office manager is the coordinator of the work system. An office manager is responsible for planning, organizing, and controlling the clerical aspect of the organization, including the preparation, communication, coordination and storage of data to support production and other important operations of an industrial establishment. Often they also engage in marketing. Also, their tasks are to monitor the work processes and to evaluate the outcome. The outcomes of work are intended for what can be called the final receiving system, as for instance, client, customer, and other departments. • Furthermore, their role is to coordinate on the front end by issuing various assignments. They usually lead or manage a team of secretaries or administrative clerks. And they take care of the assignment of tasks within the department, but the more complex tasks tend to come to their desk.

9. Workstation Design • In most offices, the workstation consists primarily of a chair and a work surface. Three primary factors which play important roles are the specific job tasks, body size and equipment. The worker should have adequate workspace to perform each of the tasks required by the job. Lack of adequate space is one of the most frequent complaints. Individual body size must also be considered in the design of the workstation. • The most crucial aspects to be considered will be the design and size of the chair, and the height and design of the workstation. The design will be largely affected by the type of equipment used by the worker. Standard equipment for office workers includes computers, and accommodation must be made for the monitor, the CPU (central processing unit), keyboard and mouse.
