The roles of office administration professionals vary from one office to the other, depending on the industry, type of business, and the manner in which tasks are divided among employees.

Typical administrative personnel responsibilities include some or all of the following tasks:

• Customer Service

In some offices, a particular office administration employee might handle one or a few functions for the entire organisation, such as records management or travel planning. In other offices, an office support staff member might provide all of administrative functions for either a particular manager, or for the entire organisation if the business is small.
