Office Administrators Essential to Positive Work Environment, Says Instructor

“Administrators help an office run smoothly because they are organized, good with people, and great multi-taskers,” says Penni Kiss, director of the Reeves College Lethbridge Campus. “A well-run office leads to an overall sense of satisfaction amongst employees.”

Reeves College offers an Office Administration program (http://www.reevescollege.ca/Campus_Programs/Business_Programs) that covers a variety of skills, from computer software training to business communications to customer service. Graduates can enter the field as a corporate receptionist, office administrator and even an office manager.

While their duties include photocopying, answering phones, and data entry, office administrators are also tasked with maintaining a healthy workplace by keeping a positive attitude and addressing concerns from customers and co-workers.

Kiss says the key to becoming a successful office administrator is working well with others and demonstrating strong leadership skills: “Other keys to success include fantastic management skills, a good memory, anticipatory skills, and often a creative approach to problem solving.”
