An administrator tracks organizational performance and sets organizational goals.
An administrator is a professional who helps manage the daily operations of an organization. Administrators play an important role in most industries and businesses. They can specialize in a broad array of areas and come from all educational backgrounds. While administrative duties may vary across different industries, there are standard administrative duties that most administrators must perform.
Planning
Administrators engage in the short-term and long-term planning of a business or organization. Short-term planning involves organizing the day-to-day details of planning meetings and other business-related events. Long-term planning involves establishing goals for the organization and leading employees in the development of detailed strategies to meet those goals.
Organizing
Administrators help keep a business or organization well organized. Part of this duty is to track responsibilities that employees must perform, and delegate these tasks to the appropriate personnel. The end result is a highly coordinated work environment.
Directing
Administrators direct staff to facilitate the achievement of an organization's goals. This generally involves allocating resources that ensure employees can perform their duties. Administrators must also help nurture an effective support system for employees. An important aspect of an administrator's direction is establishing strong channels of communication among all workers.
Staffing
Administrators are typically tasked with determining staffing needs and then filling open positions with the appropriate personnel. Keeping the organization's goals in mind, an administrator will write job descriptions, recruit new workers and assist in the employment interview process.
