Reasons to Hire a Professional to Handle Your Administrative Tasks
Administrative activities, such as collecting digital files and cleaning up databases, posting jobs and updating job descriptions, and doing reference checks, may be a major task when you’re running a growing business. Spend less time mired in spreadsheets and time-sucking activities that can be delegated to others and more time focusing on leading your organisation. If you’re weighing the benefits and drawbacks of outsourcing administrative work, we’ve compiled a list of the top five reasons for hiring temporary administrative help.
1. It allows you to be flexible throughout both busy and slow seasons.
For most industries, there are busy and slack seasons. We require a lot of help managing hiring during peak periods or growth spurts, extra administrative support if we’re going through layoffs, and a helping hand preparing for resource-draining business realities like end-of-year reporting and tax season. Hiring a part-time administrative assistant during busy periods allows you to maximise the money you spend on a project-based or part-time wage when you need it while remaining lean during slack periods.
2. It is cost-effective.
Having a full-time employee comes with a raft of additional fees, ranging from office space to benefits to hiring and onboarding administrative costs. When you outsource your administrative labour, you’re only paying for what you need, rather than paying for someone full-time when there’s no work.
3. It allows you to concentrate on leading your team.
Administrative chores can take a long time to complete and typically necessitate a high level of attention to detail as well as devoted time to focus on specific duties. When you’re in charge of a company, finding time to focus (or any time at all) can be difficult. Taking administrative tasks off your to-do list frees up time for you to focus on other important tasks, such as making crucial decisions, planning ahead for the next quarter, or interacting with internal leaders.
4. It assists in the completion of projects.
Unexpected projects arise from time to time, such as the opportunity to present at a conference or apply for a grant or an award. When you have time-sensitive tasks on your plate and your team is already overburdened, outsourcing administrative support to free up time for yourself or someone else in your organisation to focus on the project ensures that you don’t let your day-to-day work, or this last-minute request, fall through the cracks.
5. It boosts efficiency and improves processes.
When things get hectic, we often forget to save, share, and manage our files properly. Nothing is where you want it to be when it comes to onboarding new staff, preparing for financial reporting or tax season, or even completing our expense reports, and basic activities feel like major challenges. You can find what you need when you need it by delegating file management or having someone committed to rearranging data-storage systems. When you lose ten minutes looking for a file, it adds up to a lot of hours over time—time that could be spent making money for your company.
