Outsourcing to MSVAs -- A
Must-Have Option!
With their highly-diverse
skills and committed professionalism, Military Spouse Virtual Assistants bring
extensive resources to their clients -- offering competitive advantage and
effective support at optimal cost.
Consider the following
benefits of outsourcing to MSVAs:
Diverse
Expertise Across Global Markets
As a cross-section of the 765,000 active-duty military
spouses around the globe, MSVAs offer a wide array of skills and experience, and
offer an on-the-ground resource in a rich variety of markets. From data entry to
customer service support to onsite market research, an MSVA is sure to
have the solutions you need.
Time Savings
Drawn from such a wide talent base, the MSVA hired to
support or complete a given project will not require the training and "ramp
up" time that’s typically needed to prep most employees for
tightly-focused tasks. Further, as an independent offsite contractor, the MSVA
avoids the distractions and "slack time" typical of the conventional
work environment, and is free to concentrate strictly on the matter at hand.
The "Right
Person" Makes all the Difference
With MSVAs, you can not only hand-pick the specialist who
meets your needs, but quickly "switch horses" if a given project
changes or a contractor doesn’t work out. (In contrast, conventional project
management often requires the manager to delegate responsibility to the
employee who "seems to know the most" about the pending task, or to
the "warm body" that simply happens to be available. And once a
manager has committed to that employee, it’s awkward and problematic to make
changes or reassignments.)
Keep Your Staff
Focused!
Partnering with MSVAs will free your onsite staff to focus
on their own core competencies, while garnering you service that can enhance the
performance of your entire organization.
Cost Control
Outflow is easier to manage with MSVAs, since costs flow
clearly and directly from the project. (Contrast this with the usual expense
picture of projects and assignments, where employee training, insurance, taxes,
benefits, etc. all blend together in a mixed-up mass.)
Commitment
The MSVA has a vested interest in helping you succeed --
his or her own business depends upon it!
Your Local
"Launch Pad" and Distant Support
If you do business abroad or are expanding into new
locations, your offsite MSVA can not only help support your operations on the
ground, but serve as a "distant listening post" to give you a picture
of market conditions only a resident could know.
Not All
Traditions Are Worth Honoring
When it comes to breaking from "traditional"
staffing measures, some business people need a little more persuading than
others...
If you are not yet
convinced that outsourcing to MSVAs can benefit
your organization (we won't insult you by asking whether it benefits us all to
support our nation's military), we encourage you to read out loud the following
list of "traditional" employee-related issues:
workplace litigation,
401K, retirement plans, employer social security, FICA, OSHA, worker’s
compensation insurance, unemployment taxes, FFLSA, ERISA, medical benefits,
dental benefits, vision care benefits, vacation time, sick time, holiday
time...
