Davey Bacaron: Strategies for Working Better With Filipino Virtual Assistants

Welcome to the Davey Bacaron Medium blog. Don’t miss out on the benefits of working with Filipino Virtual Assistant. The following strategies for handling your Virtual Assistant ought to pave the way for a more harmonious, productive, and hopefully long-lasting working relationship for everyone involved:

Constant Communication

Working with a remote Filipino Virtual Assistant staff is like being in a long-distance relationship: you need to keep in touch. Your Filipino employees will simply work better if you give them constant feedback but nagging your workers about what they’re up to every half-hour is counterproductive.

Make Allowances For Mistakes

If you’ve hired someone who doesn’t have much experience with working remotely, it would be best to allow for a sharp learning curve since this set-up takes some getting used to. Should there be a need to correct your employee, do so in a firm yet respectful manner? Refrain from yelling at them or terrorizing them.

Don’t Skimp On Training ( Oh Yes!)

One way to shorten the learning curve for your Filipino Virtual Assistant is to train them properly. Step-by-step video instructions for basic business processes can be helpful.

Have a Clear Job Description

Specific job descriptions don’t just help you attract the right talents; they also boost morale and productivity because well definite job descriptions also help you create boundaries between work and play.

Never Forget To Pay Your Employees

“Duh,” you might think, but you’ll be surprised how many employers fail to follow this rule. Yes, you may indeed get so busy that you forget to pay your employees, but bear in mind that they depend on their paychecks to survive.

Organize A Fun Team-Building Activity

Visit your Filipino Virtual Assistant team in person, at least once. Making the trip to visit your team in the Philippines will really establish trust in your working relationship.

Provide Your Employees With A Sense Of Belonging

How else can you make an employee feel like s/he belongs? When all is said and done, the secret behind working effectively with your Virtual Assistant team is, well, no secret at all: You just have to treat them with decency and respect.
