Team Building Games
In today's episode, Matt will go through some excellent ideas for team-building activities that will enhance culture, engagement, and retention.

Hiring a Virtual Assistant | Should you leverage offshore talent to grow your payroll company?
A lot of people are interested in leveraging offshore talent to move their business forward. While this is not a new thing, there are still a lot of limiting beliefs about what you can get help with from offshore teammates.
People are worried about the level of skill, getting screwed over, worried about the quality of the work, don’t trust the systems, and don’t know how to get started.
We are going to help you navigate this. We have completed over 100 contracts with offshore assistants and specialists ranging from general virtual assistants to highly skilled professionals.
We have spent well into the six figures with offshore talent over the last few years and it provides a nice supplement to our local team.
Our mindset is that we can create far more “onshore” jobs by leveraging contract talent to help us grow. In this episode we covered the following and more:
The types of tasks and projects you can offshore
Where to find remote talent
How to set your offshore teammates (and yourself) up for success
Lessons learned from our experience and how to apply it yourself
