Running a business in New Zealand can be a daunting task. 

There are approximately 546,000 small businesses in New Zealand representing 97% of all companies. 

A small business in New Zealand is defined as one with fewer than 20 employees, so it's an inevitability that many New Zealand business owners end up feeling overwhelmed when faced with the day-to-day tasks of keeping their business on track. 

However, the sheer joy of being your own boss is incomparable and can be great when you make it all work out – but don’t underestimate how difficult running a successful enterprise can be!

If you want to make real headway in your industry as a small New Zealand business, expanding your team should be your first step, rather than trying to do all the excess mundane work yourself.

After all, a wise person once said: "If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

Work Smarter, Not Harder

A solution to your problem is to hire a Virtual Assistant.

Gone are the days of limiting yourself to hiring someone who works just down the street.

At VirtualStaff we know that no matter how far away a Virtual Assistant may be, you can reap huge rewards by bringing on board remote talent from the Philippines.

Our experience in New Zealand has been particularly positive when considering professionals based in the Philippines—it's an ideal spot for outsourcing those Virtual Assistant tasks!

What makes the Philippines so special?

When it comes to Virtual Assistants, VirtualStaff knows what businesses want and where to get it - the Philippines!

Over the years this country has earned a reputation for having loyal employees who work hard. That's why we have helped many companies hire Filipino Virtual Assistants as an effective way of growing their operations. 

Why settle for the ordinary, when you can have the extraordinary?

Filipinos are the perfect choice to hire as Virtual Assistants – renowned worldwide for their friendly hospitality and outstanding service.

Have you ever wondered why Filipino Virtual Assistants are an absolute must-have for businesses?

With their high retention rates, they can make all the difference to your company.

In addition to bringing years of experience and knowledge that could be just what your business needs, we believe the following reasons for hiring a Filipino Virtual Assistant will justify your choice and should be seriously considered:

Skilled Workforce

The Philippines is a haven of talent, with its extraordinary 95% literacy rate ensuring its workforce is highly trained and fluent in English - a dream come true for international businesses.

Filipino Virtual Assistants have become the go-to choice when it comes to adding value to your business: not only will they fulfill every request meticulously but make you look like an absolute star!

With their unparalleled versatility, Filipino Virtual Assistants are the perfect choice for any business venture. From real estate and healthcare to marketing, finance and legal - they can help your enterprise soar! 

Assimilate Seamlessly

Hiring a Virtual Assistant is about more than just their skillset - it's also about finding someone who fits in with your New Zealand company culture.

If you're looking for an employee that meshes well with the way your company operates, hiring from the Philippines could be key to making sure all cogs fit perfectly together! 

This is because Filipino Virtual Assistants bring a unique and valuable skill set to any company.

Cultural awareness is no problem for these savvy professionals who we have found adapt well to the New Zealand and Australian lifestyles. 

Not only are they proficient in virtual assistance, but their commitment to respect, loyalty and ambition enhances the potential of the companies they work for. 

Timezone Consideration

Filipinos make the perfect Virtual Assistants for New Zealand and Australian businesses; you'll get all of their hardworking abilities and none of the jet lag!

With only a 2 to 4-hour time zone difference, no matter what your schedule is in New Zealand or Australia, they can keep up with it.

Hiring a Filipino Virtual Assistant means you'll get more than just someone who can work in New Zealand or Australian time zones. Their high adaptability means they have the potential to become an integral part of your team, no matter what curveballs life throws at you!

Real Value

Working with a skilled Virtual Assistant can be smarter than hiring someone locally.

Not only is it cost-effective, but it allows your existing team members to focus on the tasks that matter - having an impact in areas where you need it most!

For example, by delegating your irritable admin work to a Virtual Assistant, you'll free up valuable time and resources for the real game changers: developing new sales strategies that pack a punch, scaling business success with smart decisions and wow-worthy client experiences.

With a Virtual Assistant taking care of tedious tasks at pocket-friendly prices there’s no excuse not to go bigger!

What can you ask a Virtual Assistant to do?

Life is too short to waste precious time on mundane tasks.

Get yourself a Filipino Virtual Assistant and let them take the wheel!

With experience in managing calendars, sorting emails, uploading videos — you name it— they can help liberate your day so that nothing gets left behind while helping you reach new heights with what matters.

Plus these Virtual Assistants are known for their work ethic: no need to keep checking up when you have a dedicated Virtual Assistant at your fingertips - confident in knowing they'll go above and beyond every given task!

Let your business run smoothly with a Filipino Virtual Assistant. With their training, they can keep all the cogs of success spinning as operations progress and efficiency thrives.

By hiring a Filipino Virtual Assistant, you and your team will be able to focus on what really matters: delivering exceptional service to clients while planning to accomplish bigger goals in the future.

A Virtual Assistant's high adaptability means they have the potential to become an integral part of your team.

Life after COVID (Opportunities) 

As the world continues to grapple with the economic fallout from COVID-19, businesses across New Zealand and Australian industries are looking for

innovative ways to remain profitable and productive.

One such solution is meeting your staffing needs with Virtual Assistant(s) from the Philippines, which is a cost-effective and efficient way of filling your human resource gaps when traditional local hiring methods prove ineffective.

Hiring a Filipino Virtual Assistant is a benefit to both parties, as remote job opportunities are a real blessing for Filipino Virtual Assistants, allowing them to find financial stability while avoiding the arduous commutes in congested city streets.

It's no wonder, at this time of unprecedented staff shortages and as the world recovers from the pandemic, why this marriage between New Zealand or Australian employers and Filipino workers makes so much sense.

Filipino Virtual Assistants gain reliable, long-term work that pays the bills, while at the same time, New Zealand or  Australian companies get to address their staff shortages and reap the associated cost-effective benefits. 

It's a win-win situation for both parties.

Why are businesses wary of making the change?

The race to the top is often crowded, with established businesses having a head start.

Emerging companies may be hesitant when considering Filipino Virtual Assistants due to fears of language barriers, cultural differences and training unqualified hires - not to mention an insufficient workload for Virtual Assistants. 

Don't let these anxieties inhibit you from achieving greater heights; take advantage today of this modern-day superhero sidekick and boost your business potential!

With VirtualStaff, you can say goodbye to the HR headache and leave all of those mundane tasks in capable hands. We'll be there every step of the way for both clients and Virtual Assistants - so get ready to enjoy effortless and administrative free success!
