Section 2

The organisational structure of Office Angels is:

This is called a flat structure.

The functional areas are used to make the business run much easier by splitting down all of the spread out jobs into little categories and the category will be carried out by the selected departments, in Office Angels they don’t really have departments but they do have specific people doing part of it so I suppose you could call them a department so they just constantly use the cycle shown below to find someone a job this is called the “Recruitment Stages”:

1. Human Resources are notified of a vacancy.

(By the functional area in which the vacancy exists)

Section 3

Office Angels communicates internally mostly by oral communication everyone operates in one room because there is only 6 employees so it would make sense to just talk to the person instead of internal memo’s etc because that would just be wasting money and some of the time if it is just documents they each have 1 computer each connected to a LAN port which networks all of the pc’s together so they can just transfer the data documents to the receivers computer this is a very effective and cheap way to communicate internally.

Office Angels communicates externally mostly by using a fax machine again they each have a fax machine each and since Office Angels is a franchise other office angels company’s in the UK often fax each other will advice and help, personally I think it is a good idea since they are all on the same subject and if anyone has more knowledge why not share it. They also use letters to communicate to other companies with CV’s etc and last but not least the only way they communicate with candidates is by telephone because it is quick and direct.

Office Angels External Influences are their business competitors, economic conditions and environmental constraints.

Section 4

Office Angel’s location is well suited for its popularity because it is situated on the slough high street area where lots of people live and it has a large community of shoppers who come there regularly and quite a lot of them are unemployed this is how office angels has an advantage on its location also they have billboards around slough high street where businesses can just stick up posters and the pinkness of an office angels poster stands out and can easily be recognized by the public (pink is their trademark colour like Cadburys is purple) it also has good transport links connected to it such as the train station, bus station and a road running right in front of it. The cost of labour in that area would be average and the cost of the premises would be quite expensive but it would all pay off with government grants etc.

Office Angel’s competitors are probably the job centre in slough too because they both offer a service to the public free of charge and then office angels invited an idea called “Workman’s Friday” where on every Friday office angels buy a take away meal and lay it out on a big table so that the candidates of office angels recruitment agency can have a meal or a snack this gives them the competitive edge on the publics interest. Also the job centre aims for the unemployed people which are over 30ish, but these people wont get a specialist job which office angels can offer so it most probably wont be an office job, Office Angels aims for the people under 30 who want to be a successful Office worker and can specialise in certain department or even go on a apprenticeship.

The environmental constrains of Office Angels are nothing.

The legal constrains of Office Angels are that if a candidate wants to apply for a job which office angels have recommended them for they firstly have to sign a workers agreement contract with office angels otherwise this would be considered illegal they would also have to keep in mind the following acts:

• Employers Rights Act 1993
• Health And Safety Act 1974
• Sex Discrimination Act 1975
• Disability Discrimination Act 1995
• Race Relations Act 1976
