Efficient & Reliable: Virtual Assistants for HR

/in , /by

What are virtual assistants, and how can they help with your human resources (HR) operation?

Remote workers, or virtual assistants, are the answer to saving big on overhead costs. At the same time, transitioning to a (hybrid) remote workplace increases efficiency when it comes to handling unemployment coordination, disability claims, employment verification, employee support, compliance, risk, and workers compensation.

With over 900 PEOs (Professional Employers Organizations) in the US providing services to 175,000 small and mid-sized businesses, the industry expects to grow and serve beyond its current 3.7 million worksite employees. 

 

 

Today’s trends in HR

HR professionals are responsible for the creation of employee-friendly workplace culture, providing training and development opportunities, managing performance appraisal systems, and ensuring compliance with employment laws.

Many times, the HR department has many different hats to wear. The role may entail: employee relations, compensation and benefits management, employment law compliance, recruitment and hiring practices; organizational development; training, and development.

PEOs & HR organizations can grow their capacity and dramatically reduce costs with virtual staffing solutions. The industry is increasingly competitive, and you aren’t getting your fair share of the new clients until you leverage virtual assistants to help drive up your results.

MyOutDesk can save you up to 70% on employment costs with experienced, full-time virtual assistants. To book an interview with those in our talent pool, click here.

From industrial relations to matchmakers

Whether in an HRO (Human Resources Organization), PEO (Professional Employers Organization), or an HR department for your company, the HR sector has evolved out of its origin in the field of management. The HR profession, sometimes referred to as Industrial Relations, was once associated with those who saw it their duty to bring together workers and employers through collective bargaining agreements or other means for the purpose of achieving industrial peace.

However, the role of the HR professional has evolved over time to encompass a much broader range of activities. Indeed, it was not long ago that ‘human resources’ became an industry in its own right. The HR industry is a large segment of the business world, and its role today is to focus on the development, growth, and improvement of employees at all levels within an organization.

A big part of the HR department is about ‘matching’ people in a company. This typically involves finding out what those people are like and then trying to find other employees which match them, though not too closely. In general, the role of HR is to make sure that everyone in a company works well together and gets along. If they fail at this task, then productivity will suffer.

The Remote HR Workforce

There are many ways in which remote employees, or virtual assistants, in HR are beneficial. HR is a field that has traditionally been focused on the idea of ‘fit’. That is, finding employees who have skills and qualities which make them well suited to do their jobs. Traditionally, employees are hired locally and work within a relatively small, local area. But that has changed dramatically over the last few decades. Many of today’s employees are working remotely from one country to another – or even several. 

The question of fit doesn’t make any sense in a situation where there is no local work. Human resources professionals must adapt to the changing world, and that means moving beyond this notion of ‘fit’. Nowadays, it’s better for businesses to focus more on finding employees who are flexible and willing to learn new skills.

There has never been a more important time to optimize remote operations.

Allocating virtual staffing is a known secret that leading B2B companies across the US practice to enhance their workforce, all the while significantly undercutting costs.

The virtual assistants protect the company’s valuable time and shoulder many of the repetitive daily duties, such as:

  • Reception calls, recruitment, sourcing, and intake conversations
  • Time and attendance
  • Transaction coordination, bookkeeping, and expense accounting
  • Calendar scheduling, event coordination, and travel arrangements
  • Reporting, CRM updating, and IT support

It’s no wonder entrepreneurs trust us most — with 13 years of experience serving over 6,000 clients. Last year we saved our clients $55 million as the highest-rated virtual assistant company with more than 500 verified 5-star business reviews.

HROs & PEOs know that MyOutDesk is the most reliable virtual assistant service provider with thorough qualifying & talent-matching procedures.

PEOS & HROs that Outperform the Competition (Professional Employer & HR Organizations)

/in , , /by

PEOs & HROs increase performance & profits with help of virtual administrative assistants.

Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) & Human Resource Organizations (HROs) are known best for helping client companies accelerate their growth. On the other hand, what are the businesses and services that help accelerate the growth of PEOs? 

The answer is simple: Teams with virtual assistants & remote employees outperform competitors.

 

“Anybody who’s gone to business school in the last 20 years has had 1 commandment hammered into them: if it’s not your core business, outsource it.”

A Strategic B2B Workforce

While PEOs allow their clients the opportunity to contain costs by offering their expertise in payroll, benefits, compliance, and further HR functions — PEOs can often overlook one important strategy to contain labor costs of their own.

The strategy is to leverage virtual labor in order to undercut the high costs of daily administrative work. Allocating virtual labor is a known secret that leading B2B companies across the US leverage to enhance their workforce, all the while significantly undercutting costs. By hiring top talent virtual assistants, PEOs can also optimize their capital investment. PEOs, in turn, can grow revenue and dramatically reduce costs.

Businesses with virtual administrative assistants report:

  • Growing service capacity and higher employee morale
  • Sustainable overhead costs and higher net profit margins
  • More efficient internal processes
  • Increased output and client satisfaction & rapport

How can a virtual assistant help with your general administrative needs for your PEO?

The virtual assistants protect the company’s valuable time and shoulder many of the repetitive daily duties, such as:

  • Reception calls, recruitment, sourcing, and intake conversations
  • Time and attendance
  • Transaction coordination, bookkeeping, and expense accounting
  • Calendar scheduling, event coordination, and travel arrangements
  • Reporting, CRM updating, and IT support

By offsetting general administrative work, current company employees can focus their efforts on expanding services and addressing more critical and strategic initiatives.

Industries that benefit from reduced administrative labor costs with virtual assistants

The following sectors have virtual assistants as an integral component of their workforce. These types of businesses trust MyOutDesk to provide top talent virtual assistants:

  • Healthcare
  • Real estate and property management
  • Mortgage and lending
  • Human resources and PEO
  • IT and technology
  • And all high-profiting industries

These businesses have found concurrent success in scaling and profiting, often outpacing their competitors. PEOs seeking solutions to reduce general administrative costs can also grow their operations with virtual assistants. 

Is it safe for PEOs to use virtual assistants?

PEOs who choose a reliable virtual assistant service provider with thorough qualification procedures ensure high-quality virtual talent. MyOutDesk has a strong reputation for providing virtual administrative assistants, built on:

  • A stringent talent matching process that uses detailed work experience profiling.
  • A comprehensive candidate vetting process unmatched by any other outsourcing provider.
  • FBI-grade background checks.
  • DISC personality matching to ensure the most experienced, educated, and skilled virtual assistant services possible.

An unparalleled distinction of MyOutDesk among many virtual assistant providers is its high standard of service to its clients and virtual assistants. The company provides uninterrupted support services for client businesses and virtual assistants with dedicated trainers and solutions managers. Virtual assistants receive competitive benefits and medical at MyOutDesk, upholding high work morale. Hiring a highly qualified, full-time virtual assistant from MyOutDesk is safe as well as cost-effective — often costing 60% less than hiring a full-time in-house employee.

The future of virtual assistants in PEO

The value proposition that many PEOs claim is that they are helping to maximize the human capital investment for any business. Successful PEOs must also practice this belief within its internal operations as a business development strategy.

With over 900 PEOs in the US providing services to 175,000 small and mid-sized businesses, the industry expects to grow and serve beyond its current 3.7 million worksite employees. Hiring virtual assistants increases opportunities for PEOs to simultaneously scale with reduced overhead costs and invest in the growing salaries and benefits of in-house employees.

Virtual administrative assistants can help maximize profits, grow clientele, improve business capacity, and outperform competing human resource organizations, administrative services organizations, and PEOs.

Partner with MyOutDesk

Since 2008, MyOutDesk has delivered the highest quality virtual assistant services to businesses across the US and Canada – including 36 of the RealTrends™ Top-100 ranked teams in the US.

“It’s not COVID-19 I’m worried about. Now it’s COVID-20″

In Boerne, TX, right outside San Antonio, there is a unique organization that is doing EXACTLY what they ought to be doing for their clients in this unique year of navigating through the COVID-19 crisis. Matt Lowman at Integrity HR Management shares, “I have every interest aligned with helping my clients grow and doing that as efficiently and effectively as possible.” 

Matt personally knows his clients — every single one. As a Professional Employee Organization (PEO), Integrity HR Management brings 75 companies together in order to get volume deals for health insurance, workers’ compensation, and more.

What makes this PEO so unique is that they partner alongside each business client as a real strategic consultant, only serving a cap of 75 larger businesses, so that they get to intimately know each business, their lives, their goals, whether they’re trying to eventually exit in short-term, or whether they’re trying to build a business that lasts in perpetuity (or become employee-owned).

 

“I feel like our [PEO & HR] industry has kind of been hurt by its own success, a little bit in terms of how if you’re in 48 states with 4,000 clients — they just can’t provide good HR at that level — rather they are reactionary. They can take a phone call and answer a question, but they don’t get to know that person. They don’t know how the business operates. They can’t be proactive.”

 

Integrity HR Management is more of a strategic advisor. “We are able to come alongside them from an HR perspective — both from a transactional HR, but also from a strategic HR perspective and walk with them.”

 

A Strategic Advisor’s Approach: Preparing for COVID-20 Today

We’re going to get through this one, so get ready for the next one now. Consider your net cash reserves. Do you have enough revenue streams coming into your business, or is it so siloed in one platform or one source of revenue?

“We have a really phenomenal team of people. We’ve got some directors here from an HR standpoint, from a risk management standpoint. Our benefits team is literally world-class. I mean, some of these people are the best I’ve ever seen. And they’re in there with these clients, fighting alongside in this environment. 

 

What are some of the biggest challenges you’re solving for business right now?

From a strategic advisor standpoint, we are asking clients:

  • In a business perspective, what are you learning from this experience?
  • What will the next crisis look like? Do you have enough cash resources? Be in the position that you don’t have to take out money to survive if it happens again.
  • Beg to think, “What comes out of this? “How is business going to work after this?”
  • “How do we come back to work? What’s the new normal like?”

We are identifying the skeleton crew, appropriate distancing standards & vigilant hand-washing schedules, and letting people work remotely.

Free Thrive Guide + Strategy Consultation

 

In this special webinar, we are joined by:

Barron Guss, President & CEO of simplicityHR< by ALTRES, Hawaii’s leader in human resources outsourcing.

-and-

Todd Cohn, Founder & Principal at Fidelio Business Advisors, a leading independent Human Resource Outsourcing (HRO) consulting firm in the DC area.

 

In this crisis, PEOs have adapted. HR professionals are supporting employees with a completely new level of service.

To promote safety, Todd is preparing a special “Employee Return to Work Toolkit” to distribute — which includes basic safety measures, wipes, masks, and will also include a COVID-19 at-home test kit as soon as available. As a leader, “you have the ability to provide something to your employees that they can’t provide or get for their own.”

Barron suggests amplifying communication and build a plan — you may have the best sanitation crew and the best chemicals to sanitize, but you need to truly be a leader with a plan. Leaders are honest enough to tell the organization what we’re going to do. Communicate and mass-disseminate a new path to your company.

 

 

As an employer planning on bringing back employees in May or June, what can we do now to prepare?

  • Perhaps disposable desk pads
    Perhaps a new office environment with everything 6 feet apart and new desk configurations.
  • Take this time and consider redoing your office layout/solutions with what you got and look at short, mid, and long-term solutions to carry us through
  • Don’t expect a vaccine to handle the pandemic. It’s scientifically and mathematically impossible to eradicate ASAP, as indicated through computations on productions vs. availability and application.

 

Assuming this is the new normal (distancing, new hygiene, etc.)—what are the long-term effects of this, and how do we survive?

Take this time to run your business to a litmus test — any dollar should be strategized and properly used. simplicity has a great COVID-19 resource. Also, check out MyOutDesk’s COVID-19 guides & free strategy consultation.

Take a deep breath — and use this opportunity to not shrink, but to GROW! We’re going to get through this. Smart people will use this opportunity to use their skills to solve problems. Think about “what you can do” to figure out practical ways to instill confidence in your clients and employees.

 

CEO’s Mentality

Look at this as a hiccup—many businesses still have the long-term goal in mind. Stay focused! Be something for someone, instead of being everything for everyone. People in your life, and your people outside your family. Maintain your relationships with them!

Joe Daniel: How Outsourcing Leads To Rapid Business Growth!

/in , /by

When it comes to payroll processing & HR paperwork, Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) are rapidly becoming the solution of choice for modern business. By outsourcing these tedious, but necessary employment tasks to a PEO, you can save time & money – and the same applies to hiring a virtual assistant: by delegating repetitive tasks to a VA, you can take your lead generation, administrative paperwork, even transaction management or HR recruiting tasks off of your shoulders, for less than 60% of what you’d pay for in house staff.

In this exclusive webinar, we’re joined by Joe Daniel, the founder & President of Streamline CXO, who will explain how outsourcing repetitive business functions are becoming a critical part of running a successful, growing business in the 21st century. Don’t believe it? You’ll be surprised – PEO companies have doubled their client base in the last decade, and they’re on track for record growth in the 2020s as well. While you’re watching, don’t forget to schedule your Double My Business Strategy Session to find out how to leverage MyOutDesk virtual assistants in your business!

 

Joe has been helping businesses, and business owners, reduce risk, control costs, and exceed employee expectations for over 30 years.

Goodbye HR Headaches: How Small Business Saves Billions Using PEOs!

/in , , /by

You’ve gotta grow, or you’re gonna plateau! Growth can be tough, though – once you’ve made it through the endless interviews & hiring, you have to deal with the cost & administrative burden of all the paperwork that comes with each team member. So here’s a question: what if you didn’t have to?

Join us for this exciting webinar with Pat Cleary – the President and CEO of the National Association of Professional Employer Organizations (NAPEO), the national trade association for the PEO industry. PEOs provide payroll, benefits, and human resource services to small and midsize businesses nationwide.

Schedule your Double My Business Strategy Session today and find out how a MyOutDesk Virtual Assistant can support you to boost your business.

PEO’s are part of a rapidly growing trend in outsourcing that leverages economies of scale, digital communications, and specialized labor to take the burden of managing repetitive tasks off of the company and allowing them to focus on what really matters by contracting the busywork to a PEO. To learn more, click here to find a PEO.

According to Wikipedia, “Typically, the PEO offering may include human resource consulting, safety and risk mitigation services, payroll processing, employer payroll tax filing, workers’ compensation insurance, health benefits, employers’ practice and liability insurance (EPLI), retirement vehicles (401(k)), regulatory compliance assistance, workforce management technology, and training and development.”

Before taking over at NAPEO, Cleary was senior vice president of digital public affairs at Fleishman-Hillard, focusing on helping clients drive their messages through new media channels. He’s had a wide-ranging career spanning more than 25 years in government, policy, public affairs, and communications, with areas of expertise, include human resources, health care, economics, and trade – and he’s bullish on the future of outsourcing:

“Anybody who’s gone to business school in the last 20 years has had 1 commandmant hammered into them: if its not your core business, outsource it. Security, travel, tech, HR – it’s not your core business, outsource it. We found in our last round of market research last year that the cohort that was the biggest user of PEOs were CEOs age 25 to 35 – so that generation is very, very friendly to outsourcing, and it works.” – Pat Cleary

A former chairman of the National Mediation Board and deputy assistant secretary for policy at the U.S. Department of Labor, Cleary also spent 10 years at the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM), the nation’s largest industrial trade association. He’s lectured on negotiation and dispute resolution at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business and the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He is the author of The Negotiation Handbook. His education includes the Program for Senior Managers in Government at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and the Executive Development Program at Wharton. He is a member of the D.C. Bar and serves on the Corporate Advisory Board of SOME (So Others Might Eat).

“Think about it. Whatever time you’re spending on payroll, HR, benefits, vacation time, or God forbid, employment litigation – these things that were just a huge money suck. That’s all gone – because you just contracted that out. ” – Pat Cleary

Pat’s right – and think about this: the same applies to administrative, marketing, inside sales & transaction coordination busywork. Gone, poof! You just contracted it out.
