(Newswire.net — December 10, 2014) Philipines The Internet has caused a worker’s revolution. More small and medium-sized businesses are seeking what are often called remote or virtual workers who work from home or anywhere there is Internet access, like a coffee shop or a library. 123Employee intends to be part of the revolution by helping businesses connect with the perfect virtual employee.

“We’re in the middle of a new era in business,” said 123Employee CEO Daven Michaels. “The buzz words are entrepreneurial, innovation and creativity. Business owners want the perfect employee who can offer immediate productivity now instead of spending weeks or months searching for a ‘good-enough’ fit who has to be trained on the job. 123Employee offers connections to a whole planet’s worth of quality employees who are ready to hit the ground running.”

Virtual workers who are part of 123Employee’s service offer a long list of skills such as web development, data entry, transcription, social media coordination, copy writing, search engine optimization (SEO), customer support, call center support, research, bookkeeping, translation, graphic design, human resources, project management and more.

According to a Harris Poll, virtual workers who are part of an organized team with clear goals are 60 percent happier than on-site workers in the same situation. While little data exists to explain why virtual workers are happy, most respondents to surveys cite a flexible work schedule, zero commute and a focus on their strongest skills as reasons for choosing the world of virtual work. 

According to Michaels, “Virtual workers are where everything clicks into place. There are thousands of people with specialized training who can help start-up businesses or companies with the variety of services needed to be successful in today’s highly competitive economy. Maybe you have the best service or product in the world, but you can’t afford full time marketing, IT and finance teams. And, in reality, maybe you don’t need to employee all those people full time. Maybe you just need 40 hours here and 40 hours there. Why shouldn’t you get the best quality graphic designers and human resources consultants for the time you need them? Virtual employment makes that possible for everyone.”

Debra Stanford is an example of a start-up business owner who would never have realized her current success without virtual employees. After completing her doctorate in educational design, Stanford started a business creating learning management systems (LMS) for non-profit organizations. Stanford utilizes the services of a virtual assistant in San Francisco, a web designer in Reno and members of a 24/7 customer support team who reside in six states.

“I am only able to grow my business because I have talented employees who choose to work from their homes and truly enjoy the projects I have. Nobody knows that sometimes my web developer works from his wife’s hair salon. All they know is that we help them meet their goals.”
