Managing a virtual team can be a challenge. In the midst of those challenges, what companies with virtual assistants need most is not better management, but better leadership. It was John Maxwell who once said, “Everything rises and falls on leadership.” In companies with virtual staff, this universal principle also rings true.
February is more popularly known as the love month. While most people are going to celebrate romantic love, we need to remember there are other forms of love as well….
It’s February and love is in the air! It’s this time of the year where people from all around the globe celebrate love as Valentine’s Day draws near. And with…
We are entering a day and age where teams are no longer limited by the constraints of location and time. Nowadays, businesses and organisations can build virtual teams. No office…
Every business owner, manager and executive should be thinking about one thing- scaling your business. But admittedly, many entrepreneurs and leaders admit that this highly crucial role slips right through the cracks. Why? Because we’re too busy to even think about it.
The end of the year is coming really soon. In a few days, we’re going to say goodbye to 2019 and close that book forever. But before we bid farewell…
The rapid pace of technology advancement and the internet has brought about a new face to the workplace. Because work is now accessible anywhere with a connection, more and more professionals are opting for work-from-home arrangements
The rise of the Virtual Assistance industry has forever changed the way companies and entrepreneurs do business. Today, armed with just a laptop and an internet connection, we can now operate a full-fledged business.
No doubt the past few years have witnessed the boom of freelancing in Australia and other countries, or what’s known to us as the gig economy. As our company, Outsourcing Angel, continues to work with australian companies outsourcing overseas, we realise more and more how big this trend is. More workers are now embracing the freedom and autonomy of freelancing or remote working, and at the same time employers are seeing the benefits of hiring independent contractors to reduce operational costs.
As of late, there has been a growing trend in the area of business: outsourcing business processes to virtual assistants. We all know that human resource is a great investment when you want to scale your business. Often business owners and directors are overwhelmed by the amount of work that comes their way. And when we get busy, we start to neglect the activities that really matter.
