Delegate to Succeed: Free Up Time and Grow Your Business
For many small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) in New Zealand, senior managers often find themselves working in the business rather than on it. With the average Kiwi SMB employing between 9 and 20 people, managers frequently wear multiple hats, juggling everything from strategic decisions to repetitive daily tasks like bank reconciliations. While staying busy might feel productive, it often diverts attention away from high-value activities like growth and innovation.
The Delegation Solution
New Zealand’s relatively small market means most businesses operate on a smaller scale compared to their global counterparts. This often limits their ability to afford a large team of specialists. As a result, managers end up performing routine tasks that could easily be delegated, such as administrative work or process-driven operations.
The reality is, that when managers are tied up with low-value tasks, they’re not focusing on the high-value strategic work needed to grow the business. This is where delegating to remote staff comes in. By outsourcing repetitive tasks to talented, cost-effective remote team members, managers can free up valuable time to focus on business improvement, growth, and innovation.
Flexible, Cost-Effective Remote Workers
Many New Zealand businesses hesitate to hire because they don’t have enough work to justify a full-time role or they fear the high costs of local talent. But by leveraging offshore talent, businesses can add skilled, well-educated team members at a fraction of the cost. These remote workers can be hired on a part-time or project basis, providing the flexibility to scale up or down as needed.
With a partner like Avant People, you can access experienced remote staff without the complexities of recruitment and management. Delegating tasks such as data entry, bookkeeping, or customer support to these remote team members allows managers to reclaim their time for more strategic pursuits.
Focusing on Growth
By moving routine tasks off your plate, you create the capacity to focus on what really matters: driving the business forward. Delegating doesn’t just free up time; it empowers managers to concentrate on high-impact activities like developing new products, exploring market opportunities, or even taking a much-needed break without worrying that the business will falter.
