Office professions continue to evolve along with new office automation and organizational restructuring. In many cases, office professionals have
assumed new responsibilities and learned to operate a variety of office equipment. Most organizations employ office professionals to perform and
coordinate office activities and to ensure that information is disseminated to staff and clients. Managers, professionals, and other support staff rely on
them to keep administrative operations under control. Office professionals are responsible for a variety of clerical and administrative duties that are
necessary to run and maintain organizations efficiently. They use personal computers to communicate electronically and to run spreadsheet, word
processing, database management, desktop publishing, and graphics programs.
