If it makes financial sense to have people working virtually from their home offices so that ‘employers’ don’t have to supply office space, computer equipment, parking space, training, travel expenses, car allowances and so on, then why are companies not embracing this most obvious change?
It ticks all the boxes and brings countless benefits to ‘employers’ along with the knock on effect of taking more cars off the roads, relieving congestion at busy periods and impacting on a company’s carbon footprint.
Just think about what happens to the traffic on the roads when the schools are shut for half term or the summer holidays. Does it make a difference in travelling to work in a morning? Notice a reduction in the amount of traffic on the roads?
This kind of impact could be achieved and added to be allowing more people to work from home on a virtual basis.
This is what it does for those people who work as VA’s (Virtual Assistants) from their home offices:
• They work as self employed VA’s charging an hourly rate instead of being employed
• Allows parents and carers to work around the family without having to leave the home environment
• Cuts down on the massively expense cost of childcare provision
• Helps create the much needed work life balance
• Allows people with disabilities to work from home – especially those who have had difficulties getting work in a traditional office setting
The most obvious benefit to an employer is the hourly rate VA’s charge.
The employer no longer has to worry about finding a monthly wage, paying all the extras in NI, sick pay, holiday pay, maternity pay and so on…
The employer is completely in control of how much time they want to spend per month on getting their admin tasks done.
Our biggest challenge is getting more businesses to embrace this working change and give Virtual Assistance a go!
