Our HR team is keen to improve continuously the service provided to our customers. The administrator will have a significant role to play in this process. As the first point of contact within the department, the administrator is in a key position to alert the HR Officers to any problems and to identify aspects of the service, which have the potential to be improved, in order to provide a higher level of customer satisfaction.
