As a staffing agent specialist I have always been asked about the usefulness of hiring virtual assistants. Employing virtual assistants is a fairly new phenomenon, and not many people are aware of the huge benefits it may offer. People are skeptical about their effectiveness. Some common questions that cross an employers mind are: Will virtual assistants be as effective as personal assistants? Is it possible to have complete control over them as you have over regular staff? Doesn’t it make more sense to pay a regular employee than a remote worker? How safe is it to enable a remote worker to have access to your confidential files?
Firstly, we need to wake up to the reality. With the advent of the internet, the scope of hiring employees has spread far and wide. You can get your work done across continents. You can have offices all over the world, and yet manage it as a single functioning unit. You can even set up a virtual office and run your business as smoothly as an existing office. Virtual assistants are a part of the available world wide work force.
Virtual assistants have begun to play a greater and more meaningful role in the working of online business. I say, meaningful because of the value they add to their service. A virtual assistant has to prove his or her worth with every delegated task. Unlike a regular worker virtual assistants cannot afford to be complacent. So, the work got out of them is always the best. As they are out to prove themselves with every assigned task, it becomes very easy to get quality work out of them. When it comes to confidential files, you should not even trust a regular personal assistant. So, why give access to virtual assistants. It is only after you build rapport and trust that you can consider it.
Clinging on to the old world order would make you miss out on the benefits of the new age. Virtual assistants are the answer to new age staffing needs.
