virtual or in house: What's the difference?

myVEA offers executive assistance on subscription, whilst our sister company, Osander, provides clients with in house support

virtual

Personal 1:1 human-to-human assistant = always the same dedicated assistant applying emotional intelligence
Access to a secondary assistant, always covering during your primary VEA's holiday and sick leave
Ad hoc access to our entire pool of executive assistant expertise and skill set
One standardised framework based on best practices – reduces complexity on the organisational level
Acting on data-driven method and time management insights
Customised balance between automation, self-service & human service
Flexible and frictionless set-up offering cost, synergy and headcount savings
Systemic quality assurance, feedback & evaluation

in house

Personal 1:1 human-to-human service = always the same dedicated assistant applying emotional intelligence
One dedicated assistant per executive = one-person skill set = people dependent
Onsite assistants can join real team events in person. They can make sure the actual event is running smoothly by being present themselves and handle adjustments onsite
Onsite assistants can contribute to a team's 'social glue' by being physically present in the team and in the office
Can act as 'eyes and ears' in the organisation and report back to the executive when needed
Onsite assistants can attend face-to-face meetings in the organisation
Onsite assistants can handle floor-tasks such as receiving VIP guests in the reception, printing and binding material

Thanks to technology, our Executive Assistants can handle almost all of the tasks that in house assistants would, remotely. Our VEAs team up with in hourse assistants and staff, to maximise the efficiency and productivity of both business leaders and their teams.

When to get a Virtual Executive Assistant

If you don't have enough work to justify employing a full-time on-site assistant
If you are not entitled to a corporate headcount but you need someone to handle admin work
If your current on-site assistant needs more hands
If you want a standardised, data-driven organisational model, and access to a multi-person skill set
If you travel often, or are always on the go, and need an assistant who can work remotely
If you wish to apply productivity data to make smarter time-management decisions

myVEA TESTIMONIALS

“What I really liked, were the results of the changes we agreed to. Could we come up with them without you? Yes, perhaps we could, but we just haven’t done it. Just by providing data insights you twist our minds into actively thinking how we spend our time. On top of all that, you twist our minds in thinking efficiency -how can we work more efficiently. The fact that you think forward allows me to mentally prepare for that next week. The buffers are there, the pre-read is there. I also like the length of our weekly reviews and being flexible around it depending on the need.

“The diligent calendar work has been a huge help for me, it saves me a lot of time and frees up the brain. Recently I had a lot to do but I feel fairly relaxed and calm. I have never been that busy in Maersk Drilling like I am now, and I have never had this much time for mental space. My productivity has definitely gone up, as well as my engagement. I feel more prepared. Being proactive and providing data insights is something that differentiates myVEA from other assistants’ services. This is a part of your value proposition. I never felt like our weekly reviews didn’t provide any value.”

"I partnered with myVEA because I needed part-time assistant support. As a hybrid organization, it's seamless for me to connect with my assistant Aga daily—whether through Teams, phone, email, etc. I can recommend myVEA and Aga as an Executive Assistant without reservation. Aga's reliability and swift efficiency have consistently impressed me. She's an invaluable support pillar, always eager to assist, even beyond her designated responsibilities. Her skills in structuring calendars, proactive planning, and her continuous improvement approach stand out as testament to her invaluable contributions"

"I have now worked with MyVEA and Aga for approximately 18 months, and the fruitful collaboration is a testimony to Betina Osander’s ability to attract great professionals to her team and a testimony to the toolbox, professionalism, and proactive mindset of Aga. Working with Aga has simplified my working day and improved my structures – and, not least, proved that a virtual working relationship can be just as personal and collegial as an in-office working relationship. Hence, I plan to continue the collaboration with MyVEA irrespective of whether I continue to work remotely or on-location.”
