We have had to make a lot of changes over the last couple of months both personally and professionally. Overnight our daily routines have evaporated, and we've been forced into work from home situations, or in some cases reduced working hours.Alongside my role in Cpl Cork, I'm currently in the process of completing a CIPD diploma and we have just begun our second last module - Supporting Change within Organisations. It's quite apt given the changes businesses have had to make recently in the face of this crisis.As a country, we've had to adjust to working and managing teams remotely, introducing new technologies to ensure effective communication, becoming more innovative to engage teams, customers and clients in order to stay connected, and learning how to support each other.The impact of COVID-19 on Office SupportAs we move forward through this pandemic, it's becoming clear that we are adaptable. We are facing the adversity head-on and ensuring we come out stronger than ever.It has come at a cost and businesses have had to make difficult decisions to let some employees go temporarily or indefinitely, with some sectors and industries impacted and suffering considerably more than others.I recruit for Office Support roles which include Receptionists, Administrators, Personal Assistants, and Office Managers for temporary contracts across all industries. Office Support staff are integral to the efficient running and operations of a business.They are the first point of contact for your business;they connect senior management and employees; they organise your diaries, manage emails, travel itineraries, and meetings; chase invoices and process expenses; ensure employees are fully equipped in order to carry out their jobs; organize events and spur teams on to engage in organisational activities.In short, they ensure all departments are functioning and keep to deadlines. They are front and foremost in any business and essentially, are the backbone to any business.Maintaining
