Introduction
In this part of the assignment, I’m going to be talking about the principles of business administration and the reason why I think this is an important factor.
1.1 Explain the legal requirements relating to the management of office facilities.
The legal requirements relating to the management of office facilities are:
The legislation includes things like the law and all the Acts. Most of the laws were made to make employees working for environmental staff. For the manager to take care of his/her staff members, making sure they are working in a safe and comfortable environment. This includes the Health and Safety at work Act (1974). The company has to keep in mind that they have to give the employees full rights when it comes to giving them contracts. They cannot make the employees wait for about 8 to 9 months for their contracts. Every employee should have a contract within 3 months.
Management of the office facilities is important as we should have all the equipment that we need as we are an extension to 20 different practices including Kings A&E. It’s also important that the staff have been trained about the risks as well as health and safety as this keeps all the members of staff safe from any risks which include risk assessment as staff members should know what to do when it comes to health and safety.
Our Recommended Resources:
1.2 Describe the typical services provided by an office facility.
The office facility helps the organization to communicate with each other. For instance, the surgery that I work for has a diary that includes all the staff working days, this helps us because if someone is not able to attend then the line manager will know who is working and if we need cover or not. Another way that we try to keep in contact with the patient, different surgeries, hospitals, and patients is by having a telephone next to every computer so we are able to stay in contact with everyone including the nurses and doctors. This also helps us to maintain good customer service as we are able to stay in touch with the patients and try to advise them. To keep things nicely in stock, we have one person that takes care of all the stock that is needed for the clinicians and we have another person that keeps all the stock on track for the reception, which helps to reduce confusion.

1.3 Explain how to establish office management procedures
The way my working environment establishes office management procedures is by communicating through things like email. For instance, there might be an incident that occurred and the managers are not here then it’s the staff’s duty to let the managers know about the incident. We also have meetings every month to talk about how the work is going and if there are things that are causing problems. We also electronic things that help users communicate for instance we have important things that we can photocopy and we have computers as our resources. Our management procedures are to make the staff aware of their responsibilities, letting the head know about any problem that has occurred straight away and being trained. (Web 2)………..
