In Module 6, we look at the following topics:
- Managing physical resources including equipment and supplies
- Technology update
- Ethics
- Finance for non-financials
These are areas where you might not be directly involved. If you are working for a large organisation, the work is divided into different departments where you might not necessarily need to know how the budget works (only how much you can spend!) If you move to another organisation or move up the ladder, you might be required to know a little more. All these topics are essential basics for the administrative professional.
At the end of this module you will be able to:
- Manage work effectively to be productive – workstation management and safety
- Adjust their work environment using ergonomic guidelines for physical well being
- Plan an office layout for productivity
- Manage office supplies effectively i.e. purchasing, leasing, inventory and storing
- Work with technology and understand basic computer and mobile design skills and applications
- Highlight and address unethical behaviour in the workplace
- Understand the three basic finance principle
- Distinguish the difference between financial statements and have a better understanding of budgets
