Companies are no longer limited to traditional offices and are now transitioning to hybrid workplaces. Aside from lifting some time-consuming tasks for you to focus on growing your business, you will certainly be saving money by hiring a virtual assistant. Having a Virtual Assistant can be one of the most clever decisions you can provide for your business!

Hiring the right people is cost-effective. Businesses can choose a VA company that can assure an efficient Virtual Assistant gets hired to do the tasks right. These companies and agencies are available online. In a Career building survey done in 2017, nearly three in four employers are affected by a bad hire.

You will also be saving payments for insurance and leave benefits as VAs are aware that they may not have the same benefits compared to traditional employees.

You are not required to provide separation pay and other benefits.

Lastly, businesses need not worry about finding and managing an office. A VA has its own office set up and has its equipment to fulfill its tasks. Accordingly, a survey made by Forbes in 2014, 69% of the correspondents plead guilty to wasting more than half a day’s work in their jobs! In a second survey by Harris Poll for CareerBuilder, the time wasters are caused mostly by talking on the cellphone and texting, gossiping, and the use of social media and the internet.
