It is now official, kids can no longer go to school – at least for a time, and along with international travel bans and restrictions on public gatherings, we are facing the harsh reality that COVID-19 has placed on us. In many ways we are lucky as we have had the examples set by the rest of the world on how to curb the spread of the virus.
Why not work from home?
When one considers the risks involved of being in public and staff working at close quarters, why hesitate to run your business from home? It’s not that difficult to do so either – and there are other virtual activities that can be practiced too, which we will be covering in a mini-series entitled ‘Virtual is better than venturing out!’
Why Virtual Assistants?
The answer to a working successfully from home really lies with employing the help and advice of V.As or Virtual Assistants, and there are many great reasons to do so…
Virtual is our game
At V-Assist for example, we have been operating virtually for 3 years already, gearing up for all the nuances and differences that may apply to working online as opposed to in an office. We can replace not only your traditional office P.A, but assist with a huge range of other services, which mean that if we land up in a situation like Italy, where there is total lockdown, you will be adequately prepared to run a totally online business.
The advantages are numerous
You may find that your transition to an online business actually helps you to save money and a lot of headaches. One of the things that Virtual Assistants offer is to execute and be paid only for the services they provide.
No more HR headaches or CCMA threats. No more paying for sick leave, holidays and the time that your full time employee may be costing you in ‘downtime.’ We can’t and don’t seek to take away the positions of the professionals and specialists that your business may require, but we certainly can do a wide range of services which can enable you to place a lot of your time wasting tasks in the hands of one capable virtual service.
‘It’s about time’
This is our motto and whether you’re still operating from offices or online, we are all about saving you time to work ‘on’ your business instead of ‘in’ it. Contact us today to start working with us – we assure you, it will be ‘business as usual’ – and maybe even better!
