Executive Assistants improve collaboration.
In today’s world of remote, hybrid and in-person workplaces, the importance of keeping a team engaged and working together is more important than ever. Having a liaison like an EA who works to connect people across organizational levels and departments is priceless in solving the collaboration puzzle. Virtual Executive Assistants are particularly skilled at streamlining projects and communication across multiple parties. If you need flexible support, you’re in luck! Base offers EA subscription support that can scale up or down with your business as needed. Plus, every Base EA comes to you fully-equipped and trained, so you can hand off your work with peace of mind.
Executive Assistants provide solutions.
A great Executive Assistant works as a key strategic thought partner and proactively looks for ways to make improvements throughout the organization. They are closely involved with many of the day-to-day details, which makes them uniquely equipped to know where the pain points are, and more importantly, where there are opportunities for improvement. EAs provide solutions to some of the biggest hurdles organizations face — now that’s impressive!
Executive Assistants support growth.
It’s impossible to grow a large organization alone. No one knows this better than the Executive Assistant, who often acts as an organization’s communications backbone. EAs bring people and projects together, aligning everyone to work toward the same goals, and ultimately achieve them more quickly. For the Executive, this means a deeper focus on growth and higher leverage work.
Bonus: EAs support personal space.
While an Executive Assistant adds an enormous amount of value to the organization as a whole, many leaders quickly notice the personal value when working with an Executive Assistant. From an increased feeling of control in their day-to-day, to a better work-life balance, the value Executive Assistants add is truly invaluable.
