Can you believe it’s already September? Autumn is almost upon us and with it, the start of the holiday season, which always puts some excitement in the air.

Here at Remote Workmate, what gets us excited is our monthly Thank You, Workmate posts. It’s our chance to spotlight another hard worker who our clients can’t stop raving about.

This month, the special distinction goes to Joy, an Administrative Virtual Assistant for a company specializing in software and cloud development solutions. Joy’s eye for detail, expert organizational skills, and willingness to be of help have made her an indispensable addition to her client’s team.

Joy’s client puts it best:

Joy has shown extraordinary commitment to this role and has gone above and beyond in
every single way. She is excellent at organization, pays extreme attention to detail, is
extremely responsive, and is always so willing to help with anything we have come up.
She is an excellent communicator, extremely self sufficient, and I never have to worry if
something that I ask of her will get done. Not only will it get done, it will get done well and
on time. At times I worry what I’ll do if she ever leaves me! Joy has been an excellent
addition to our team.

Absolutely impressive, Joy! Keep up the good work.

What makes Joy stand out?

We asked Joy what her best practices are and she gives practical and thoughtful examples that sometimes most of us take for granted.

Joy says:

For best practices I have learned while working for the client, take notes as much as you can and record video instructions so you have something to refer to if you have questions instead of asking someone directly. Create a to-do list of your tasks and prioritize accordingly. And be proactive and seize any opportunities to help but make sure it’s still within your workload allotment/ shift.
For best practices I have been able to share with the team:
1. Be punctual – It’s the least we can do as a staff and also a sign of respect.
2. Under promise and over deliver – Do not bite more than you can chew.
3. Be sensitive – Anticipate the needs of the people around you; put yourself in their shoes.

Well said, Joy!
