Are Virtual Assistants Really THAT In Demand?
Well, let’s look at the stats quickly.
According to Technavio, a global market research company, the Virtual Assistant market share is expected to increase by USD 4.12 billion by 2025, and the market’s growth momentum will accelerate at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 11.79%.
Why the interest in Virtual Assistants, in recent years?
1. Hiring a virtual assistant can decrease companies’ costs by 78%
Full-time assistants come with hidden costs, such as desk, computer, stationary, beverages, etc., not to forget salaries, pensions, and medical insurance. Virtual Assistants are responsible for their own running costs and benefits.
2. Remote workers are more productive and efficient
Companies lose money when paying full-time staff for an eight-hour day, to only get about 3 hours of actual work. Statistics, meanwhile, show that you can be certain that you’re paying only for productive work when using a Virtual Assistant.
3. Remote work allows companies to reach top talent
You won’t have to hire locally, as Virtual Assistants work from anywhere in the world, which means that you can gain access to a VA who can help with more specialised tasks and come with niche skill sets.
4. Scalability
Virtual Assistants can be hired on a project-by-project basis which makes it easy to scale up and down, as needed.
5. Vested interested in your success
If your business succeeds, then the Virtual Assistant’s business succeeds. Win-win!
These are only a few reasons as to why Virtual Assistants are in demand. The list is endless. If these statistics are any indication of the future of businesses, then you can’t go wrong by taking the first step.
