Welcoming – a receptionist will often be responsible for welcoming visitors to your building and showing them to an area in which they can wait for their meeting to start. As well as physically greeting visitors your receptionist will often also answer the telephone and direct any calls to the relevant people in your business.

Emails – you may also want your receptionist to answer any emails that come into your company’s generic email address. They can then pass these on, as is appropriate, to other members of staff to deal with.

 

Meetings – having your receptionist in charge of booking meeting room space is a great way to ensure that when your visitors arrive in your building that they can then be shown to the appropriate room.
