The importance of Business Administrators

Business Administrators support an organisation in a multitude of ways. They help streamline operations, improve efficiency and handle critical administrative tasks. Business Administrators also offload some tasks from other team members allowing them to focus on their core responsibilities while ensuring the tasks are done to the highest of standards.

Key Skills in Business Administration

As Business Administrators often support various departments and tasks within an organisation, they need to have several key skills alongside their job specific knowledge and experience:

Communication

Business Administrators need to be able to work with a range of stakeholders within the business and effectively communicate with each.

Time management

A Business Administrator needs to be able to work effectively and often quickly to complete their tasks. Having great time management is key to ensuring that all tasks get done on time and to the highest of quality.

Organisational skills

Similarly to time management, being able to adequately organise their work is crucial for a Business Administrator to be able to complete their tasks effectively. Additionally, many of the tasks of an administrator involve paperwork, filing and other organisational related tasks so they must be able to stay focused an organised to support the business.

Computer Literacy

Nearly all businesses nowadays use computers on a daily basis and while most people are competent in using those, a Business Administrator need to have a greater understanding of computer systems in order to complete their tasks.

Adaptability

A Business Administrators role is a varied one, supporting different people in different roles and often different departments. Being able to adapt to the task at hand and be flexible in their work would make for a successful Business Administrator.
