Managing your personal assistant

How to get the most from your employees

It can take time for you to get to know your personal assistant. It can also take time for your personal assistant to get to know you and to understand the work you want them to do. It is a good idea to set clear expectations at the start of the employment. This can save a lot of misunderstanding later on.

It can be confusing if you ask your personal assistant to do something that is very different from what is in the job description. It can be useful for both of you to review the job description regularly and to praise the personal assistant for good work. This lets them know when they are doing things right and you can discuss when things are being done differently.
