Too Much Work to do, but Not Enough to Hire a New Employee? Internet Offers On-Demand ‘Virtual Assistant’

April 15, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
FISHKILL, N.Y. – The problem has always challenged business owners and managers – too much work to do, but not enough to justify a new employee.

Many businesses also need short-term help with a special project or task, or they need specialized help from someone with skills not available within the company.

In the past the solution has been to go to a temporary help agency, but now with the availability of the Internet and electronic communications many businesses are turning to a service that solves the temporary or specialized help needs quickly and easily.

Diversified Pro Business Services is fast developing a reputation for helping businesses solve problems like these with what they call “virtual assistants.” Business owners and managers are using http://www.dpbservices.com. to schedule the help they need.

“Many who claim to be virtual assistants are really former secretaries who put up a web site and do freelance work. We actually have a staff of many different people with a variety of skills and talents to meet the variety of needs encountered by different types of businesses. We can service many projects at different businesses, all at the same time,” explained Shawn Scianna, founder of http://www.dpbservices.com.

The U.S. Dept. of Labor estimates the average full-time administrative assistant cost to an employer approximately $34 per hour. This estimate includes salary, taxes, health insurance, sick days, and other benefits assuming a full 8-hour day. This does not include the cost of finding, hiring, and training an employee.

The cost of a “virtual” administrative assistant varies between $19 and $28 per hour, according to Scianna. A virtual assistant provides highly skilled, experienced professional help for any business on an as-needed basis.

Companies throughout the world are using technology to provide affordable, accurate, and professional business support. Outsourcing administrative and clerical tasks is an economical way to handle anything from routine to complicated tasks.

Scianna has been selected to speak to a group from the Service Core of Retired Executives about the “State of the Business,” where he will explain the benefits of “virtual” employees rather than real ones.
