At Virtual Assistant Group, we understand that behind every thriving business, there’s a crucial individual without whom operations can’t run smoothly – the executive assistant. These unsung heroes have been instrumental in the success of countless businesses, managing mundane tasks and ensuring seamless coordination among teams. However, with the shift towards remote work, the role of an executive assistant has evolved into that of a Virtual Executive Assistant, or VA.
Despite the clear benefits of hiring virtual executive assistants, some business owners in the United States remain hesitant due to misconceptions about data security. Rest assured, when you work with Virtual Assistant Group, your data’s safety is our top priority, with our VAs signing non-disclosure agreements to protect your sensitive information.
