Businesses large and small now have a virtual solution to their staffing needs. Whether they’re part-time administrators, occasional IT talent or fully-fledged marketeers, Virtual PAs save their clients not only time and money but create that professional (and sometimes international) image.
When you consider the cost of employing a full-time PA and compare it to what you pay to a virtual PA this has to be the way forward for forward-thinkers.
Businesses are facing a tough choice in the current economic climate. For one-person businesses or city offices, an online solution to the inevitability of down-sizing and reducing their overheads is the Virtual PA or VA (Virtual Assistant).
Virtual PAs are independent freelancers who provide PA and specialised business services from a distance, through the internet, phone and e-mail. They help companies and individuals who still require work to be carried out to meet customer demands, despite the climate which surrounds them. Virtual PAs provide unique skills for special projects or step in to meet the demands of seasonal business growth, locally or globally.
As businesses grow, they all too often find themselves spending as much time on their diary management and admin as concentrating on their clients and the tasks which drive their bottom line.
Businesses can benefit from the help of Virtual PAs without having to compensate them with benefits and other associated costs which full or part-timers (and even sometimes temps) require. Neither do they have to find enough work to keep an additional person busy.
An employee can come and go and you may have them in situ for longer than you need them. Temps provided by third parties, are also transitory and, assuming you don’t always get the same person, they need to be trained, over and over again. Virtual PAs usually enter into an ongoing business relationship with a client and can work on an as required, project or long-term basis.
Services provided include database management, travel arranging & venue sourcing, online calendar management, securing meetings, database design & management, PowerPoint presentations, transcriptions, event management and more.
