Top 10 Reasons Why a Virtual Assistant (VA) is Better than Hiring
an In-house Office Assistant
By VANA member
Your business is growing and you have decided it is
time to hire an Office Assistant. Hiring in-house staff can become complicated.
Questions to answer are “where to advertise”, “what
skills and experience should the candidate have”, “what
will their work schedule be”, “what equipment and furniture
do I need to purchase” or “what if they don’t work
out”. Before writing up your recruitment ad, consider the advantages
of contracting a Virtual Assistant.
- With a VA, you save money as you don’t
have to provide office space, furnishings or equiment. Every VA works
from their own office environment.
- With a VA, you don’t have to worry
about coordinating work schedules. Simply send off the work to be
done with a due date.
- A client only pays for the actual time a
VA spends on completing the task. No money spent on bathroom visits,
water cooler chats, or coffee breaks.
- When hiring a VA, there is no need to pay
for fringe benefits like health insurance, vacation pay or employer
wage deductions. A VA takes care of all their own overhead costs.
- In-house staff will probably require training.
A VA is already proficient with the latest tools and technology to
do the job.
- As an independent business owner themselves,
a VA has the ability to see the bigger picture. Unlike an employee,
a VA knows and understands the challenges of running a business.
- A VA invests in their own business and has
the software available to complete projects. A client can save money
by not having to use their funds to purchase software for every new
project.
- As a worldwide organization, VA’s
have a resource pool available to call upon. If there is a time constraint,
they have access to numerous connections who can be called upon to
complete the job.
- Commuting is never a problem with a VA.
Your work will get completed even during the worst weather. No down
time due to traffic accidents, construction or vehicle emergencies.
- As each client relationship is protected
with a Confidentiality Agreement, you can be confident in the integrity
of your VA and don’t need to worry about confidential company
information being leaked at the water cooler.
When working out the true costs of hiring an employees
versus contracting a Virtual Assistant, a client not only benefits by
having a more qualified, more experienced professional on hand, but
once the math is done, the VA often comes in at the same price or lower!

What is
the funniest thing that happened to you at the forum?
I have to admit I am enjoying 'A week
in the life of a VA' - so many different angles and it breaks
up the day.
