With their highly-diverse skills and committed professionalism, Military Spouse Virtual Assistants bring extensive resources to their clients -- offering competitive advantage and effective support at optimal cost.

Consider the following benefits of outsourcing to MSVAs:

Diverse Expertise Across Global Markets
As a cross-section of the 765,000 active-duty military spouses around the globe, MSVAs offer a wide array of skills and experience, and offer an on-the-ground resource in a rich variety of markets. From data entry to customer service support to  onsite market research, an MSVA is sure to have the solutions you need.

Time Savings
Drawn from such a wide talent base, the MSVA hired to support or complete a given project will not require the training and "ramp up" time that’s typcially needed to prep most employees for tightly-focused tasks. Further, as an independent offsite contractor, the MSVA avoids the distractions and "slack time" typical of the conventional work environment, and is free to concentrate strictly on the matter at hand.

The "Right Person" Makes all the Difference
With MSVAs, you can not only hand-pick the specialist who meets your needs, but quickly "switch horses" if a given project changes or a contractor doesn’t work out. (In contrast, conventional project management often requires the manager to  delegate responsibility to the employee who "seems to know the most" about the pending task, or to the "warm body" that simply happens to be available. And once a manager has committed to that employee, it’s awkward and problematic to make changes or reassignments.)

Keep Your Staff Focused!
Partnering with MSVAs will free your onsite staff to focus on their own core competencies, while garnering you service that can enhance the performance of your entire organization.

Cost Control
Outflow is easier to manage with MSVAs, since costs flow clearly and directly from the project. (Contrast this with the usual expense picture of projects and assignments, where employee training, insurance, taxes, benefits, etc. all blend together in a mixed-up mass.)

Commitment
The MSVA has a vested interest in helping you succeed -- his or her own business depends upon it!

Your Local "Launch Pad" and Distant Support
If you do business abroad or are expanding into new locations, your offsite MSVA can not only help support your operations on the ground, but serve as a "distant listening post" to give you a picture of market conditions only a resident could know.

Not All Traditions Are Worth Honoring
When it comes to breaking from "traditional" staffing measures, some business people need a little more persuading than others...

If you are not yet convinced that outsourcing to MSVAs can benefit your organization (we won't insult you by asking whether it benefits us all to support our nation's military), we encourage you to read out loud the following list of "traditional" employee-related issues:

workplace litigation, 401K, retirement plans, employer social security, FICA, OSHA, worker’s compensation insurance, unemployment taxes, FFLSA, ERISA, medical benefits, dental benefits, vision care benefits, vacation time, sick time, holiday time...
