The benefits of Outsourcing

The benefits of outsourcing secretarial services is a familiar concept to many entrepreneurs. 

Small companies routinely outsource various types of work as there are not enough staff in-house to carry out the duties and large companies turn to outsourcing to cut costs. Outsourcing secretarial services can provide a number of long and short term benefits:

Cutting Costs

  • Releases capital for investment elsewhere in your business.
  • No PAYE costs.
  • No National Insurance costs.
  • No holiday and sickness costs.
  • No pension costs.
  • Savings on office overheads and computer maintenance.
  • No costs on employing temporary staff.
  • You only pay for the time used whereas in the office costs are incurred for idle time spent by employees.
  • Companies can expand without taking on extra staff.
  • No costs on training staff.
  • Companies that carry out everything themselves have much higher expenses, all of which must be passed to the customer.

 

Increase efficiency

  • Fast turnaround in your specified timeframe.
  • More office space.
  • Total flexibility.
  • Guaranteed availability 7 days a week, days and evenings.
  • We use the latest technology giving you a competitive advantage with your competitors.
  • Dictation transferred via email from anywhere in the world within minutes.
  • Have your completed documents sent back to you wherever you wish, your office, your home, abroad!
  • Secretaries trained in your industry/profession.
  • More time to focus on other aspects of your business and work that serves the customer.
  • Gives staff more time to manage their priorities more effectively and clearly.
  • Time saved on training new staff and temps.
  • Temps do not always live up to your expectations.
  • Fingertips use the same typists for your company just as though we were secretaries in your office.
  • Some companies have work that fluctuates and do not need a secretary permanently in the office.
  • Emergency cover for absent typists.
  • Fingertips staff highly trained in secretarial and word processing skills.
  • Your office secretary will have more time to concentrate on PA duties rather than typing.
