Episode #44- VA Sweatshops Versus WFH Model

Many don't realise that when you employ a Virtual Assistant their mental and physical health is greatly impacted by the work conditions they’re employed under. Being forced into a cramped work environment under ‘the rod’ of demanding supervisors with a very noisy open plan workspace, and then also having to travel up to 6 hours a day to and from work in very difficult Manilla traffic conditions. In this podcast episode, Michael Sanz and Darren Hunter explain how these models work, how they impact Virtual Assistants and why a ‘work from home’ model is a lot more caring, sustainable and healthy for your Virtual Assistant team member.
