"It took me less than a week."
When Lars Kroijer, Founder & Managing Director of Allied Offsets, shared this timeline for getting his executive assistant fully operational, it challenged a common misconception: that onboarding a remote EA must be a long, painful process.
The Traditional Onboarding Myth
Most executives brace themselves for weeks or even months of:
- Extensive training sessions
- Constant corrections
- Repetitive explanations
- Gradual productivity buildup
- Frustrating miscommunications
The assumption? That's just how it has to be. But does it really?
A Different Reality: One Week to Full Productivity
Kroijer's experience tells a different story: "The onboarding process was a joy - simple, fast and easy." This isn't just about speed; it's about effectiveness. His EA "understood my preferences immediately and the service was up and running seamlessly after only a week."
