Entrepreneurs may be brilliant at their business, but don’t always have the skills to manage or supervise others effectively. Does your company have high turnover rates for employees? Do you have a tough time feeling like employees are trustworthy or engaged in the company vision? Are employees afraid to make mistakes rather than try new things? Maybe the problem isn’t with them. Perhaps it’s with your management team, or even with you, the owner.

In this country, we’ve never before seen the number of people working from home before as we do now. By the end of the year, it is estimated that upwards of 63 million Americans will work from home. Some may only continue this until their businesses can go back to functioning normally, however, many businesses will find that having remote employees has turned out to be productive and less expensive for their business. Along with working at home, some find it’s tough to go work out. Staying at home near our fridge and pantry also tempts us throughout the day. Here’s are some useful tips to staying fit when you work out of your home:
Virtual Assistants (VAs) are hired by businesses to do a variety of company jobs from remote locations. VAs don’t usually meet or work with clients but are hired through agencies or as freelancers from any location around the world. This year, brick and mortar companies have had to set employees up to work at home. Some companies saw this as a frustrating time of adjustment just to stay in business. Those companies who already worked with virtual assistants were ahead of the curve, mostly able to continue business as usual without constraints.
Following the headlines of any news program can be discouraging. For years, bad news has dominated media topics. Social media is also replete with current events, which for the past several months have included a pandemic, economic decline, lockdowns, and social issues within many cities leading to unrest, destruction and additional hardship for many. Even if you’re tired of negative stories, now is a good time for your business to use social media to share content from your website and reach out to your followers. Your small business might do well to share positive stories that give your followers a respite from the barrage of negative coverage.
