With a new wave of Covid-19 (Coronavirus) outbreaks across the country and state regulations changing regularly, many office buildings and businesses are choosing to continue to allow their employees to work from home. For some employers, having employees work from home is a new concept, putting strain and pressure on all involved.

Fortunately, a virtual office space can help alleviate the burden of no longer having a physical office location. You can still get the services and technology you need to operate your business, such as receptionist services, virtual mailboxes and answering services, and more. This can be key when it comes to the safety of your employees, especially during the pandemic. Here are a few benefits of having a virtual office.

Privacy

Even if you’re working from home, you and your employees still have to conduct normal business. A virtual business office helps protect the privacy of those operating within your company. You will receive a professional business mailing address so you can keep work and personal correspondence separate, and home addresses are not shared with the public.

Mail Handling and Delivery

Coronavirus is forcing employees to social distance and leave their physical office locations. With the reduction of face-to-face meetings and communication, some businesses are relying more heavily on their mail, and limited staff to handle it could pose a challenge. One virtual office service includes mail handling and delivery through a virtual mailbox.

This mail service is accessible from any computer, tablet, or smartphone. You’re able to receive, forward, pick up, shred or discard mail and packages without leaving your home. Plus, your virtual mailbox includes a real business address, making it easier for other people and businesses to send you mail.

Virtual Office Answering Service

It’s important for your business to continue to be available to your clients, even if your staff isn’t in the office. A virtual office answering service ensures an actual person will always be available to answer phones and provide support. Don’t worry about frustrating your customers with robot-prompts and phone menus – an answering service allows for a receptionist to answer and forward your calls.

You can also access interactive voicemail so you can stay up to date with your messages whenever you need to check-in.

Virtual Office Facilities

Even if your main office is closed, you may need space to meet face-to-face with small groups of employees or clients. Having access to private conference or meeting rooms, or even a private office space, can be important for the operation of your business. Even with social distancing, you can have access to fully furnished office and meeting spaces, outfitted with the latest technology, to meet your needs.
