entrance of a business, giving customers easy access to office workers. This vital section of the
business can serve many purposes, depending on the company, and are often the best place to
obtain any customer-related information.
Front offices may have an entry desk staffed with a secretary or administrative worker. This
main desk can offer assistance to incoming clients or customers, and can direct queries to correct
personnel. Alternatively, all personnel in the department may be trained in customer assistance;
since front office workers may have many duties, training all of them in customer service means
that someone will almost always be available to help a client.
in addition to being a contact point for clients, this area may also serve as the main hub of
communication for the entire company. Office workers often serve secretarial functions, and may
be in charge of taking messages, handling orders, and relaying information to different
departments. Many front offices work in concert with sales and marketing departments in order
to create and distribute information to clients.
