Give office support staff a clear supplies reorder routine
A supplies routine helps an office boy report shortages before they interrupt the working day. Decide what is counted, when it is checked and who approves buying more.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesPlan a delivery receiving log for office support staff
Receiving deliveries is easier when the office boy knows what may be accepted, who owns each package and how the handover is recorded. Agree exceptions before the first delivery arrives.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesSet an opening task sequence for your office boy
Opening duties should prepare the workplace for the first arrivals without creating an unrealistic rush. List the required tasks in order and identify who provides access.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesDefine closing duties and handover for office support staff
Closing work needs a clear finish point. Agree the tasks, equipment instructions and final handover so the office boy is not left waiting indefinitely for late departures.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesChoose one task request channel for office support staff
An office boy can receive conflicting requests when everyone assigns work separately. A simple request channel makes priorities visible and gives the worker a clear way to raise clashes.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesPlan office refreshment service around visitor peaks
Visitor peaks can change pantry workload even when employee numbers stay the same. Tell support staff about expected demand and agree which service tasks take priority.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesSet a routine waste collection scope for office cleaners
Office waste duties should identify ordinary collection points, supplies and the approved disposal route. Keep specialist or hazardous materials outside a general cleaning brief unless appropriate arrangements are separately established.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesAgree how cleaners work around occupied office desks
Desk cleaning needs rules for papers, equipment and employee availability. A cleaner should know what can be touched and what must remain undisturbed before starting the task.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesOrganise a cleaning supply cupboard before hiring office help
A clear supply area helps an office cleaner find approved products and report shortages. Agree storage, access and replenishment before the worker is expected to operate independently.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesSchedule office cleaning around meetings and occupied rooms
Cleaning occupied rooms requires coordination with the booking schedule. Agree when rooms can be entered, which tasks can move and how late changes reach the cleaner.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesDefine support duties for an office visitor lounge
A visitor lounge needs a clear division between hospitality support, reception and security. Explain the office boy's role so visitors receive help without the worker having to make unauthorised decisions.

Document support should specify the task, authorised requester and return point. Give office staff clear equipment instructions and boundaries around confidential material.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesAgree uniforms and supplied equipment before office staff join
Tell a candidate about any workplace clothing and equipment expectations before joining. Clarify what the office supplies, how items are replaced and which duties require specific instruction.

A short weekly review can identify unclear duties and recurring delays. Discuss specific tasks, available resources and agreed changes rather than giving a broad judgement about effort.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesHiring office support for a shared workspace
Shared workspaces need clear boundaries between common-area support and requests from individual tenants. Decide who can assign tasks and how additional work is approved.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesPlan office support for staff training days
Training days create fixed setup, break and clearing periods. Give office support staff the event timetable early and separate one-day requirements from their normal duties.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesBrief an office cleaner for a customer-facing showroom
Showroom cleaning must account for displayed items and customer movement. Define permitted surfaces and cleaning windows before asking a worker to maintain a presentation-ready space.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesGive pantry staff clear rules for the shared office fridge
A shared fridge needs an office-owned policy for personal food, cleaning and discarded items. Pantry staff should follow clear instructions rather than decide what belongs to whom.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesSet purchasing limits for office support staff
A purchasing limit should explain what may be bought, who approves it and how the money is reconciled. A maximum amount alone does not define the worker's authority.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesTeach office support staff how to report equipment faults
Office support staff should know how to report a problem with equipment they use. Define the contact and boundaries so a fault does not become an improvised repair task.

A shared office driver needs one clear journey schedule. Coordinate requests before departure so employees do not independently commit the same vehicle to overlapping trips.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesAgree a vehicle condition handover with an office driver
A vehicle handover should record observable condition and responsibilities without expecting the driver to perform a specialist inspection. Clarify who manages maintenance decisions and reported concerns.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesInclude waiting time in an office driver's working schedule
A business journey includes more than driving between two points. Explain waiting, return timing and changes so the proposed schedule reflects the driver's whole assignment.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesPrepare an out-of-city journey brief for an office driver
Out-of-city business travel needs an explicit arrangement before departure. Discuss itinerary, working time, rest and approved expenses rather than treating it as an ordinary local errand.

A cleaning completion sheet should reflect the agreed areas and frequencies. Keep it short enough to use and include a way to record tasks that could not be completed.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesPlan support staffing for a hybrid office schedule
Hybrid offices can have very different service demand on different weekdays. Describe the attendance pattern before choosing hours or combining pantry, room preparation and errand duties.

A warehouse site can contain an ordinary office alongside specialist operating areas. Explain where an office support worker's duties begin and end before arranging a placement.

More employees can increase pantry, cleaning and service demand, but headcount alone does not describe the change. Review the tasks and timing before expanding a worker's responsibilities.

When duties change, update the shared role brief. A short change record helps the employer and worker understand what was agreed and what remains outside the placement.

A consistent brief makes candidate comparisons more useful. Assess the duties your office needs and record specific evidence rather than relying only on a confident interview.

A short task card can explain a recurring duty clearly. Include the result, necessary supplies and escalation contact without turning routine work into a long instruction manual.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesMake office support instructions understandable across languages

A support worker needs an alternative contact when the usual supervisor is absent. Define the backup's authority so approvals and priorities do not become uncertain.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesArrange break cover for office support duties

A guest event may require more than the ordinary office routine. Define the support worker's tasks and distinguish them from catering, event management and specialist setup.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesUpdate a cleaner's brief when the office floor plan changes
Moving desks or adding rooms changes access and cleaning routes. Review the cleaner's scope before assuming the old routine still fits the new layout.

Not every cleaning task belongs on the daily list. A periodic calendar can make occasional work visible while keeping the ordinary shift realistic and clearly defined.
Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesGive passengers clear instructions when using an office driver
A shared driver arrangement works better when passengers understand booking and change procedures. The driver should receive consistent instructions from the office, not conflicting demands during a journey.

Read the guide ↗Office hiring guidesOffice boy or cleaner: which role should you hire?
