Report on: the necessity of an additional receptionist for the Overseas Travel Department
Introduction
This reports sets out to assess the necessity to recruit a new receptionist for the Overseas Travel department.
Reasons of the recruitment
More and more people are interested in travelling abroad and our department, which deals with all overseas travel, is getting an increase of about 5% additional enquiries every day.
The customer’s first point of contact with us is with our receptionists, either by telephone or face-to-face, and our present receptionist, though a very conscientious worker, simply cannot keep up with the continual increase in enquiries.
Duties
We badly need an additional receptionist, to share the work of the existing receptionist, dealing with enquiries by telephone, fax and e-mail as well as greeting clients who call in person and directing them to the appropriate Travel Advisors in our department.
Two receptionists will mean that there will be minimum delay in dealing with customers. We shall also be able to keep our reception desk open throughout the day, instead of having to close it for lunch as at present. Many customers are free only at lunchtime and our receptionists can have staggering lunch breaks.
The cost of employing an additional receptionist will be more than covered by the additional business we will be able to attract and handle.
Qualities
The additional receptionist should be fluent in Putonghua and English and a good knowledge of Japanese would be an advantage.
The new receptionist should be very well-presented and able to handle a wide variety of actual and potential clients in a friendly way. She/He should be able to work well with colleagues and should be fully computer-literate. Patience, empathy and understanding of individual needs are further essential qualities.
Recommendation
It is recommended, therefore, a newly appointed receptionist is badly needed to handle the large increase of enquiries and assure us of our expansion plans in overseas markets.
Wang Li
Head of overseas Travel Department
