Corporate Anorexia treated by Virtual Assistance

April 16, 2009 - PRLog -- In the current economic climate, many consultants, analysts, managers and salespeople are feeling like the husbands left behind in the television program, “The Week the Women Went”. This is the case because when management sits down to make the hard decisions about where to cut back on staff to remain profitable, they tend to focus more on cutting “overhead” expenses rather than “revenue generating” costs. Often included in the overhead category are administrative assistants. Just as the husbands in the television program realize how much their wives did, the remaining employees realize how much they relied on administrative support.  

Professionals earning six figure salaries end up doing their own administrative work or the remaining administrative assistants are left to juggle increased workloads. This often results in negative consequences like employees taking stress leaves or moving on to other opportunities, ultimately hurting the bottom line for many companies.

Companies develop “corporate anorexia”: a slow but certain killer.

Julia Wooster of Prime Admin Solutions, a virtual assistant service, says there is a better way.

Her service helps companies by providing them with the best of both worlds; Prime Admin
Solutions takes administrative tasks off their hands at a fraction of the cost and commitment of having full time administrative employees while freeing employees up to do what they were hired to do rather than administrative work. Everything from formatting presentations and reports to updating contact management systems and transcription is possible. In addition, off-site virtual assistant services also save companies money because they don’t have to provide overhead like a workstation or equipment.  

Julia’s clients only pay for the time spent on their work, resulting in cost savings and increased productivity of salespeople and other staff … and, most importantly, it enables employees to focus on what they do best while Prime Admin Solutions handles the rest. The result is healthier companies with increased profits and decreased stress.
