Why hire a Virtual Assistant?

Ten reasons why you should hire a virtual assistant

  1. Saving space - as a virtual assistant works from their home office it saves you space in the office that can be utilized in another way.
  2. Refined work - your office employees generally do more than one task at a time but this increases their distraction from the original task. As a virtual assistant has less of these distractions they can complete the tasks more efficiently and in less time.
  3. Saves money - as virtual assistants are working on specific areas or tasks it means they may not need to be employed on a full-time basis, therefore, saving you money to reinvest in another area of the business.
  4. Saves time - is there administration tasks that you do that consume a lot of your time, less time doing those means more time to focus on your area of the business.
  5. Improves business operations - not only can a virtual assistant help you to document or update the processes and systems in your business but because they work remotely it enables you to evaluate how efficient your process and communication are.
  6. Improving products or services - if your virtual assistant has experience with social media management this can assist you in monitoring your clients' needs and the trends in the market allowing you to make improvements to your products or services.
  7. Decreasing frustration - with companies now having to maintain an online presence across multiple social platforms how frustrated are you in trying to learn or keep up with the current trends. You could hire a virtual assistant just to maintain your social media channels freeing you from that ongoing frustration.
  8. Specialised skills - most virtual assistants have specific skills in specialised areas in addition to their administrative skills. For example, you may run a medical centre and need to outsource specific typing duties and you need to hire a virtual assistant with medical knowledge.
  9. Improve output - there may be times when you need to keep up with demand and rather then spend time with interviewing and taking on casual staff you could outsource that work to the virtual assistant just for the time agreed upon and receive results quicker.
  10. Work-life balance - More often than not we find ourselves working longer hours in the office to meet demands and less time with family and friends. Working those long hours can lead to burnout and may increase your resentment towards work which is why you need to find the balance between work and family, hiring a virtual assistant can save you time so that you can spend that with family and friends and recharge your work batteries.

Rethink how you approach both your job and your downtime
