Does Outsourcing a Form of Exploitation? Here’s My Point of View
deanna.visperas

I chose to write this post and bring attention to this issue because it somehow bothers me. The individuals who approached me to explain why outsourcing worried them and how I contributed to the problem by pushing the concept are also to be credited with this message. A buddy who questioned me, who compelled me to examine my viewpoint toward outsourcing and the larger picture, deserves credit for motivating me to put light on the issue and alter my perspective on outsourcing.

First of all, let’s admit that time always feels limited as an owner of a business. The more you try to pay attention to every part of your business and keep up with digital and industry trends and changes, the worse things will happen. Many people can’t be their best because they keep getting a lot of work and are constantly stressed out. That burning desire to get rid of things is prevalent and even natural as your business grows, which is why you’re here.

As scary as it is to put your trust in someone else, you shouldn’t give up on this option until you’ve looked into it and tried it. Sometimes we have to get out of our comfort zones to move on to the next chapter. My main objective on this blog is to cover the benefits of outsourcing your tasks to virtual assistants and, in case you are not aware, the help you provide to them in terms of finances in return.

 

VAs can help you do things that you can’t do on your own

When you have a long to-do list, you may not focus on the tasks that matter to growing. It can leave the gold mine tasks unfinished or forgotten.

Collaborating with a VA can be very important for you and your business. They help you by taking some of the weight off your shoulders so you can work on things that you enjoy, are good at, and that help your business grow. No matter how big or small your company is, virtual assistants can help you.

Imagine if you spent all of your time working in your business instead of working on it. How are you going to make your business better if you do this? With a Virtual Assistant, small businesses can grow, work smarter, and save time by working with a VA instead of on their own.

  • Flexible work
  • You don’t have to pay for sick days, vacation, or pension
  • Pay for what you get. Only keep track of how long you spend on your projects and tasks
  • You get a new set of skills to use
  • More production but less stress

Therefore, if you don’t want to let your business hold you hostage, outsource your tasks to a reliable virtual assistance agency.

To further emphasize the significance of outsourcing tasks to VAs, listed below are the 5 compelling reasons:

1. Work-Life Balance business owners are constantly looking for ways to improve their balance. The most compelling reason to hire a virtual assistant is peace of mind.

2. Access to skillsetsworking with a reputable virtual assistance company provides access to a gateway of diverse skills you do not possess.

3. Maintain a low overheadvirtual assistants are a more cost-effective alternative to hiring employees. There are no office expenses, no sick leave, no holiday pay, or recruitment expenditures. The best part is that there is no compensation for wasted hours.

4. Scalabilityaffordable and adaptable packages enable firms to expand without doing everything themselves. Collaboration is required to make the dream a reality.

5. Reclaim some timeoutsourcing duties that have no direct influence on your sales results takes time away from you. Delegating this to your virtual assistant will allow you to reclaim time in your day.

 

Bottom Line

Outsourcing, in my opinion, benefits both the virtual assistant and those around them. It enhances their lives, which is wonderful. I do not regard outsourcing as exploitation, as my virtual employees derive value from their position and are willing to work for the compensation they receive.

Furthermore, you are helping them support their daily expenses and other financial matters. Who knows if they are in dire need? Allowing them to work is indeed a blessing for them.

And if you need one or more but are not sure of where to get it, don’t hesitate to reach us by booking a complimentary call with our Outsourcing Specialists.

I hope this blog opens doors to more opportunities.
