No such thing as wasted time; just time better spent

Are business professionals, business leaders, entrepreneurs, company directors and management teams spending too much time on company administration and not enough time on the important stuff – like driving profit, service delivery and business growth?  Business opportunities may be lost managing the day to day back office functions instead of maximising the business’ potential.

In this continuing volatile economic climate, many companies are ‘managing’ workload in-house to minimise the cost of hiring additional employees.  Work flows are often changing and it can be difficult to understand where extra hands are needed, and whether an additional full- or part-time member of staff is actually required.

Companies and individuals can benefit from a remote or virtual personal assistant to undertake all of the administration and support tasks required to keep the business running effectively. 

Aside from overseeing personal, office, home and business affairs, the remote or virtual personal assistant is also expected to manage public relations and media works for the employer.  He or she also handles all mail matters, writes correspondence to different people, and does the money-matter affairs such as paying the bills, bookkeeping, and maintaining the account, as well as maintaining personal or business files.

A remote or virtual personal assistant works on an hourly basis, which eliminates the need for a fixed-term contract and costs associated with hiring permanent members of staff.  This means help is at hand when a company or individual needs it on an ad-hoc or part-time basis without having to engage with an agency, which can lead to delays in finding the right person available at the right time.

A remote or virtual personal assistant can be considered as the most reliable person around an employer or a boss by ensuring that what needs doing gets done.
