The "Great Resignation" Solution: How VAs Help Businesses Retain Talent and Fill Gaps

By Beyond Business, August 21, 2025

Understanding the Great Resignation

The past few years have seen unprecedented workforce shifts, often referred to as the Great Resignation. Employees are seeking more flexibility, better work-life balance, and meaningful roles. This mass departure has left many companies scrambling to fill positions, absorb workloads, and prevent burnout among remaining staff.

One powerful solution gaining traction is leveraging Filipino virtual assistants (VAs)—highly skilled professionals who can step in to provide stability, cost savings, and essential support.


Why Filipino Virtual Assistants Are the Answer

1. Filling Operational Gaps Quickly

When employees resign, workflows are disrupted. Filipino VAs bring proven expertise in administration, customer support, marketing, and real estate operations, making them quick solutions to keep processes running.

2. Reducing Employee Burnout

Instead of overloading your core team, VAs can take on repetitive or time-consuming tasks, allowing in-house staff to focus on strategic and creative responsibilities.

3. Cost-Effective Hiring Without Sacrificing Quality

With rates starting at just $4 per hour, hiring through BBVA ensures businesses can scale affordably without cutting corners on talent quality.

For example, see how real estate teams are turning to VAs to reduce stress and boost productivity.
