FAQ's:


What does The Workplace do?
The Workplace provides specialised marketing support and business services to businesses, entrepreneurs, executives, managers and other busy people. We make use of the advances in modern technology to complete assignments remotely. Traditional methods such as mail and courier are also used when required.

Hiring The Workplace is not like hiring an employee, we operate our own virtual company providing services for an hourly fee or a monthly retainer. Clients tend to think of us as a "behind the scenes" partner, handling tasks such as advertising, PR, corporate identity, event organisation, project management etc.

What are the benefits of using The Workplace?
The Workplace is available to you only when required and, unlike a temporary employee, we guarantee you the same great service from the same dedicated people every time, but without the problems associated with employing staff or hiring temps.

We are experienced and highly skilled in our service area and we do not need training on typical business processes. We are an independant business which has already built the office infrastructure, such as phone, fax, computers and software, needed to provide our services.

The Workplace offers flexibility and a cost effective solution to your requirements – we are available during normal office hours, but by prior arrangement we can complete tasks outside of these hours. We are only paid for the hours worked - you don't pay for breaks and time taken on personal calls and domestic issues. We provide and maintain our own equipment - there is no need for you to provide us with a workspace and equipment.
Given that clients only pay us when we are working on their projects, our services are simply a bargain!

Who can benefit from using The Workplace?

Anyone who requires assistance with the marketing of their business.
The Workplace provides marketing support and assistance to all types of businesses, wherever you are based. We tend to work more with small to medium companies, who maybe don't have the need for a permanant marketing specialist or whose existing marketing department needs a helping hand from time to time. Whether you need a few hours support here and there, or someone to manage all your marketing activity, then we can help.

How can I best utilise The Workplace?

  1. Make a list of everything you do in a week. It’s easiest if you keep a running list on your computer, on your desk, or in a notebook, and jot things down throughout the day.
  2. Next, add the things you wish you did during the week, but put off because of lack of time, interest, or ability.
  3. Review this list and highlight the items that someone else could do for you. These are the items that do not require your specific knowledge or skill base to complete. They are the tasks that are important, but that do not need your personal attention every step of the way.
  4. Identify what skills, knowledge, and resources are needed to complete the highlighted tasks.
Congratulations! You have just identified what specific tasks The Workplace could help you with!
