Many people have heard of the innovative new way to obtain and use secretarial services, in today's business market they are known as the Virtual Assistant or V A for short.

A recent book released by author Timothy Ferriss titled "The 4-Hour Work Week: Escape 9-5, live anywhere and join the new rich." It has sparked a lot of converstation about outsourcing secretarial/ administrative office tasks. One problem is that many of these jobs or tasks have been outsourced overseas. These tasks are still being sent overseas today. Many employers and entrepreneurs are looking for cost-effective business support in their "own backyard" of America.
Secretarial services have been outsourced in america for many years known as telecommuting. Many people are unaware of the great services and benefits to using a Virtual Assistant. CNN.com states"Those in the industry say it is on the rise because it is cost- effective. The employer does not pay for extra office space, furniture, equipment or software. There is no additional cost for training, pensions or work insurance."
A Virtual Assistant does not become a part of your company or your employee, they are self-employed business owners. Hiring a Virtual Assistant can cut back on employees wasting time at work. According to a survey from Salary.com and Americal Online states "employees are wasting about twice as much time as their employers expect. Salary.com stated "employers spend $759 billion on salaries for which real work was expected but not actually performed."
What are the benefits of outsourcing your work: 1.
