To run an effective office, staff need to be professionally trained at all levels. Support staff provide a variety of support functions to an organization as they keep it running by offering services to those involved in the organization’s main business. The skills required to do the duties effectively are varied and complex as they are involved in a wide array of activities. They require technical, interpersonal and soft skills to perform their duties effectively. Prioritize workloads and juggling with different time-sensitive tasks are vital skills required for this job especially when there is minimal supervision. Since organisations depend heavily on support staff, it is therefore imperative to train them to improve productivity.
