Why hire a Personal Assistant?
Time management and efficiency
A Personal Assistant will be able to deal with the regular work which includes, making appointments, arranging for meetings, correspondence and your timetable. This means that you can leave a number of duties that would normally have necessitated your attention, to be undertaken by PA, thus enabling you to focus on other important tasks and decisions, hence improving your productivity. For even better time and resource management, you can hire a complete remote operational team or hire for an additional role such as HR consultant, recruiter and virtual assistant to make your life easier and operations run smoothly. According to a survey conducted in Harvard Business Review, managers and executives use about 22.6% of their workweek on administrative work.
Stress reduction
The administrative assistant hire helps you in assigning mundane tasks to a PA and this relieves your mind from the daily chores’ burdens. It also reduces pressure while enabling you to possess a fresh approach to thinking. Staying busy all the time makes one extremely tired and easily gets drained or exhausted. A PA provides you with assistance in traveling, booking occasions and even performing some commercial errands so that you are able to accomplish your main functions effectively.
Professional support and organisation
A PA can put order in your workplace to make sure that deadlines are met, projects are properly arranged and that nothing slips between the cracks. It can enhance the general running of your organisation as well as the professionalism. A PA is responsible for files, timelines and appointments when they have to be arranged in advance. For example, if you are the project leader, your PA can monitor what is going on, the communications and the like, to prevent slips. A study by McKinsey found that well-organised executives are 25% more likely to meet deadlines and achieve their objectives. A PA helps maintain this organisation, ensuring you stay on top of your commitments.
Flexibility and work-life balance
Since a Personal Assistant works on most of what can be considered as a time-consuming type of work, you find yourself having so much more time on your hands. This can result in an improved work-life ratio where one has more time to do other things apart from work and the possibility of stress-related burnout is minimised. Today’s employees regard work-life balance control as important to their satisfaction at work which is confirmed by Deloitte’s survey where 48% of respondents mentioned it as an element significant to their job satisfaction. Employing a Personal Assistant can therefore be beneficial for an individual as it can create balance and hence help prevent one from getting burnt out.
