Staff requirements

[bestwriter]

In the digital world does one still require a shorthand typist/Secretary to assist a Manager? To my mind a Manager can handle everything himself from writing his own mail and sending it to recepients. Same with the filing. They can store their work in digital folders.

What is your thought on this?

Around 25 years there was a demand of computer operators and typists but not now a days when mostly people are skilled in typing and computer.

The requirements for staff depends on company and the job. A manager in a manufacturing business need different skills compared to a manager in retailer business.

In my view, the job responsibilities will be based on the company's guidelines and the Human Resource Department is responsible of orienting the employees about the respective requirements to do their jobs. It is a standard procedure that needs to be done by them.

Depending on the manager's busy schedule, if there are a lot of transactions he will of course need a shorthand typist/Secretary, but at the start or start of the business the manager doesn't need your help.

The role of a typist has evolved to become company secretaries that have vital role in the operation of a business

It depends on the company and the kind of job they do. Most companies might still require someone to do these jobs.

I think that the demand of staff depends on the kind of job and the kind of company. Different companies may have different requirements. For example, a restaurant may have a completely different requirements.

I know many that are still hiring staff because they don't like to do everything and like to do what matters the most to them

There are too many job roles that have evolved into something more advanced with the rise of technology.

In this digital world, i doubt one still requires a shorthand typist or secretary to assist a manager. Almost everything is done digitally nowadays as technology is advancing day by day.
