“At very senior levels, the return on investment from a skilled assistant can be substantial. Consider a senior executive whose total compensation package is $1 million annually, who works with an assistant who earns $80,000. For the organization to break even, the assistant must make the executive 8% more productive than he or she would be working solo—for instance, the assistant needs to save the executive roughly 5 hours in a 60-hour work week.

In reality, good assistants save their bosses muchmore than that.”

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PACKAGES

Why not show your appreciation to your employees with an Enterprise Account designed to work as a benefit package for your staff. We can create a tiered system to represent different levels of benefits for your Senior Executives down to the Frontline staff.

Your staff will have a set number of requests and services available to them to use when they need them the most. The Employee Benefits Package gives your employees access to a selcted range of our services. Each pakcage is tailored around your employee’s needs.

It goes without saying that employee incentive and benefits programs have an excellent record of ensuring that employees remain motivated and assist in boosting levels of engagement, productivity and most importantly, organizational loyalty.

Happy employees take ownership of their work and this in turn increases productivity. The appropriate use of technology along with good business systems and processes will encourage your employees to love what they do and always strive to do better.

We have developed a theory based on the simple concept of all the services we provide and what they could alternatively mean for your employees. We call it “the happy efficient people theory.”

At Executive Assist Ltd, we pride ourselves in ‘thinking digital’ and promoting the use of new technologies to improve efficiency throughout the office.

We challenge our staff to go out and find, develop and implement ideas that will make even the most simple of processes a fraction faster and more effective.

We can assist your business design and adopt new business management and operation systems that will make your business move faster into the digital age. Kenya is renowned for its achievements in leading IT development across Africa and we are proud to join and fuel the revolution.
