People who have enough time to finish their work have only a 30% likelihood to experience burnout. By delegating tasks to a skilled virtual assistant, employees can focus on business goals, keeping them from burnout.
A motivated team is more likely to put in the work and time to ensure that business operations run smoothly. This leads to better results which increases employee satisfaction, subsequently boosting development and learning for a higher level of success.
Magic Assistants can boost productivity while freeing up your team. Magic Assistants can fill gaps in your business, whether these are in administration, sales and bookkeeping, or customer support. With their help, you can build momentum and keep team motivation high.
Ways to Motivate Your Team with Magic
Motivating a team takes a lot of work, especially when they are working from home since face-to-face communication is limited and collective purpose is hard to maintain. Magic offers virtual assistant services to support your remote team in carrying out tasks so they’re less likely to feel burnt out.
Here are tips on how to motivate your team to improve performance using our virtual assistant services:
1. Provide the right remote work tools
Remote work can be done effectively with a well-equipped home office. Along with this, employers should supply technical tools to their remote team members such as:
- Time tracking tools
- Remote communication platforms
- Project management tools
- Documentation and file-sharing tools
- Specialized tools like CRM platforms and marketing automation tools
Use Magic Integration tools to readily add a virtual assistant to your daily operations and boost productivity. They can organize and manage your remote work tools to make processes easier and more accessible. With the elimination of inefficiencies in going through unsystematized platforms, your remote team will be more motivated to get their work done.
2. Build trust with your remote team
In the shift to remote work during the pandemic, team leaders feared the loss of control so they felt the need to over-manage team members. However, micromanaging employees can wipe out team motivation.
Instead, build rapport with your team by learning their work style. Allow them to take ownership of their job and improve their time management techniques. This also encourages them to more openly seek mentorship and support when roadblocks arise.
Use calendar management to schedule time with team members so you don’t have to constantly ask for updates if the job is done properly. A Magic Assistant can take on this task, as well as project management to keep your remote team on track from initiating to closing.
3. Cultivate remote team communication
Keeping remote workers connected is essential to promote team motivation since a work-from-home setup could isolate them from people. Therefore, there should be an ongoing thread of communication through email, chat, or video conferencing.
With these, team members can build a work culture so they can work together. These also allow them to provide feedback to one another and team leaders for improvements.
Make sure your entire remote team is in the loop. A Magic Assistant can book and prepare materials for virtual meetings, as well as take minutes to clearly inform team members of agendas. They can also take your phone calls and do the necessary actions after.

4. Value employee feedback
Gauge the level of team motivation of your employees through employee feedback and surveys. Listen to what your remote team has to say and try to fulfill their requests as much as possible. This gives out a strong signal that you care about them and appreciate their input, as well as the insight into what your company should improve on.
A Magic Assistant can prepare, conduct, and evaluate employee surveys so you can focus on the results and plan actions to address them without compromising your time and productivity.
5. Encourage a growth mindset
A growth mindset is a belief that your abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. This promotes the love of learning and resilience that are instrumental in accomplishing success.
You can champion a growth mindset at work through work performance evaluation, in-house training, external programs, coaching, and cross-domain learning. It is highly motivating, especially for a remote team, since it concentrates on their performance goals and personal development.
Magic can provide a skilled virtual assistant to help your remote team in accomplishing tasks so they can have time to join training and coaching sessions, as well as courses outside of the company. Moreover, a Magic Virtual Assistant can do many things for you so they can share their innovative skills and fresh perspective in different business areas.
