Leading virtual office services provider Davinci Virtual has tripled staff numbers since its UK launch in January as a result of increased demand for this solution. In the past three months, Davinci has doubled client numbers and now represents over 250 individuals.
The take up in virtual offices has increased significantly during the recession as small companies and entrepreneurs in the UK look for the ultimate cost-effective and time-efficient solution for their businesses.
The business world is finding that redefining and reworking the concept of teleworking into a virtual office environment has launched a quiet revolution. Today, as never before, virtual businesses are becoming both more popular to run and easier to start up.
Many smaller companies have learned that a virtual office ends up seeming like a compromise rather than an extreme solution when considering their employees’ work/life balance. If an employee is willing to leave a job force to create or improve personal time and family time, then employers wanting to retain quality employees should view a virtual office as a win-win for everyone, rather than a compromise that benefits only one ”side.”
The social web is rapidly migrating businesses to the virtual office” concept. The Virtual Office Concept provides significant gains for progressive business leaders.
Consider for the moment what all business has at their disposal today:
Time and productivity are the two elements which everyone seeks. In business productivity refers to metrics and measures of output from production processes, per unit of input. Labor productivity, for example, is typically measured as a ratio of output per labor-hour, an input. Productivity may be conceived of as a metrics of the technical or engineering efficiency of production. Every business produces something aimed at market consumption.
Time and productivity have also become an important part of personal progress. If we can get things done in less time then we gain more time to do socialize, fellowship and improve our personal relationships. Our personal productivity is also a measure of our worth in the business world. If we “know” how to do things better, more efficiently and effectively then our value to an organization increases. Knowledge and talent play an important role in increasing our individual productivity whether applied to our personal or professional lives.
For smart business leaders, there’s never really such thing as a “slow time.” Even if facing sluggish sales, decreased volume or less activity in today’s marketplace, the innovators keep pace and stay on their toes, making the most of the season at hand.
I recently spoke with a savvy small business owner who illuminated that truth. His construction-related business is significantly impacted by the challenged economy, yet he’s keeping a steady pace by finally addressing the items on his formerly neglected “to-do-when-there’s-time list.”
