The use of hybrid and remote working methods since the pandemic has affected the demand for this occupation. This transition has also led to a change in the traditional tasks of receptionists and broadened the skills required to practise this profession.

The automation of certain tasks, such as automated telephone answering services, online appointment booking or inquiries and digital recording, has freed up these workers from certain tasks so that they can concentrate on other important ones.
