Your employer knows that you and your coworkers are their most valued asset. They want to remove the barriers that get in your way at work each day, to help you have the impact you want with less frustration and higher satisfaction.
For this reason, your employer has put in place an ESP—an Employer Scaling Program. The ESP provides you with direct on-demand access to virtual assistants (VAs) and virtual consultants (VCs)—by phone, email or text. Assistants and consultants have normally only been available to help C-Suite executives, but they are now available to you with shared, on-demand access to their own VAs and VCs conveniently by phone, email & text. What a refreshing change to the old mantra of “do more with less’!
If you’re a people manager, the ESP is a great way to support your hard working team with additional helpful resources—but don’t forget to use it yourself!
