■What are the disadvantages of hiring executive drivers in-house?
The job of an officer driver is mainly to transfer officers. There is a method of hiring in-house and a method of receiving dispatch service, but more and more companies are choosing dispatch service instead of hiring in-house. Introducing a number of disadvantages when adopting in-house.
■ It is necessary to carry out from recruitment to education in-house
One of the disadvantages of hiring an executive driver in-house is that the company has to take care of everything from hiring drivers to training and training. Hiring an experienced executive driver will make the education and training part a little easier, but finding such personnel will be difficult. In addition, executive drivers are also required to be compatible with executives and the personality of the driver himself, so finding the right person can be a daunting task. Of course, lowering the hurdles at the hiring stage will make hiring activities easier. For example, we will expand the scope of hiring not only to those who have experience in executive driving but also to those who have experience in business driving such as taxis. However, this makes it difficult to educate as an executive driver. If you want to avoid these disadvantages, it is better to use the driver dispatch service.
■ It is necessary to always secure personnel
The second disadvantage of in-house hired executive drivers is that it is difficult to always secure the necessary personnel. Officers' schedules are often overcrowded and move frequently. You may also suddenly need to use an officer's car due to an unplanned schedule. For such a case, it is necessary to have an officer driver resident. In the case of a large company where many officers use cars, it is necessary to always secure multiple officer drivers, but there is a risk that they will not be available due to the retirement or physical condition of the drivers. I can't say I'm sick today and I don't have a driver. This kind of thing can be solved by using the driver dispatch service.
■ Driver's accident responsibility must be borne by the company
The third disadvantage of self-employed drivers is that the company must be responsible for the driver's accident. An executive driver should be able to drive a car with high technology as a driving professional, but since he is a human being, he can make mistakes, so the possibility of accidents while driving is not zero. Accidents while picking up officers will be treated as accidents that occurred during work. In that case, the company will be liable for the accident. The disadvantage is that you are not freed from the risk of an accident, and it takes time and effort to find the appropriate automobile insurance in-house. In that respect, if you use the temporary staffing service instead of hiring yourself, you will not have an accident caused by an employee at work, and you will be able to avoid taking all responsibility.

■What should I do when the owner is tired? What you can do to maintain the company
The manager is in a position where he / she has a heavy responsibility and is easily tired. There are many people who can't leave it to others and carry everything on their own. What should I do when the owner gets tired? In this article, we will consider the reasons why managers get tired and the impact they will have on employees, and explain what to do when they get tired, giving examples.
1. The tiredness of the manager is accumulated without noticing
Many people think that they like the job itself because it is a rewarding job for business owners. However, no matter how much fun you work, if you have trouble with your business performance or relationships, you can easily feel stress. In particular, human relationships are one of the major causes of stress because there are cases where one's own efforts cannot solve the problem. In addition, the pusher that is applied when cash flow does not go well will be a heavy burden for the management. As management deteriorates and employees leave, it feels like they are being cornered. When the accumulation of hard work reaches the limit, not only the body but also the mind can be destroyed.
2. The fatigue of the manager is transmitted to the employees
Management fatigue is easier to convey to employees than you can imagine. Negative emotions are unknowingly exposed. The tired face of the manager often fuels the anxiety of the employees. Depending on the situation, the atmosphere of the entire company may deteriorate and the motivation of employees may be lowered. If the morale of the entire company declines, there will be various adverse effects such as a proportional decline in sales and an increase in the number of retirees. As a result, business owners become more and more tired, and the bad atmosphere becomes even stronger, leading to a negative spiral that cannot be escaped.
3. What you can do to avoid getting tired of management
In this paragraph, I will introduce two main points that can be done to prevent management fatigue.
3-1. Talk to someone you can trust
It is said that stress tends to accumulate in the management of a company because it is difficult to consult with others. However, it is often difficult to solve everything on your own. Talking to someone you can trust or share your worries will relieve stress and may come up with a solution. Think carefully about whether there are any people around you to talk to.
The safest thing to do is to talk to the same business associates. A manager is a difficult job that carries the lives of employees and is constantly forced to make important decisions. Because of such a lonely position with heavy responsibility, the same manager will understand each other's feelings. Not only does it give you a sense of security, but you can also expect business advice on what measures you should actually take. If possible, it's best to talk to fellow business owners in the same industry, but there are many things you can get from different industries.
The approach of consulting with the family is not bad either. Talking to your family may not solve your work problems, but just having someone you trust will help you feel a little lighter. If you feel you need more mental follow-up, consider relying on a counselor. In the dialogue, the counselor finds out the real worries that the other person is potentially having. A counselor may be able to talk about content that is difficult to consult with family members and acquaintances.
3-2. Secure your time
Occasionally, some business owners decide to deal with all of the company-related issues themselves. It's important to have a sense of responsibility, but sometimes rely on others. It's a good idea to have the right people in the right positions and leave the rest to them. And try to create your own time. It is important to objectively analyze your working hours and cut off wasted time if you feel that you are overworked. Use the cut time for other things to do and rest.
Let's calmly organize the situation so as not to accumulate fatigue
If you try to do everything on your own, you will easily get tired. If you outsource just the means of transportation and schedule management, the burden may be surprisingly reduced. If you want to concentrate on work that only you can do, consider outsourcing such as dispatching a driver or secretary. The Transact Group will provide highly qualified staff and an environment to follow the management.

■Immediate force for sudden overseas transactions! What is the dispatch of executive secretaries?
Various transactions are carried out every day in the company. There will be many sudden business talks. What should I do if a transaction occurs suddenly overseas and no one is familiar with the language of that country? How about using the dispatch service in such a case?
■ A secretary who understands the situation is recommended
The quickest way to find an experienced interpreter is to contact a temporary staffing agency specializing in interpreting. Some of these temporary staffing companies also have experienced executive secretaries. In an urgent situation where you have to find the right person or have limited time, it is essential to have someone with a wealth of experience in business negotiations and conference interpretation. Furthermore, since it is an important transaction, we must be human resources who can immediately grasp the situation and respond flexibly. It is even better if you have experience as an executive secretary with a wealth of practical experience who can be one of the executives. By asking a temporary staffing company, it is possible to secure human resources suddenly.
■ During a busy business trip! Leave the detailed work that you can't handle
Among overseas transactions, there is a possibility that a sudden overseas business trip may occur, or a business trip other than this transaction may occur. Many executives are busy, so there is a high possibility that their daily detailed work cannot keep up. Even if you are absent from the company, it is indispensable for the operation of the company to be able to carry out the work properly. In such a case, requesting the dispatch of an executive secretary on a limited schedule will alleviate your anxiety. Temporary agencies can handle dispatch work for a week or even days. If detailed work is accumulated, it will be a huge amount, so it may be a good idea to take the initiative and have an officer secretary dispatched.
■ E-mail and phone support overseas is perfect!
Having an executive secretary gives you a sense of security. Personnel registered with temporary staffing companies who have experience as executive secretaries have a track record in various companies. Many people are accustomed to working at the company to which they are dispatched as an immediate force in a different environment. Therefore, you can rest assured that you will be able to take care of basic business etiquette and hospitality, and have the experience of being able to calmly deal with unexpected situations. It is possible to respond immediately to emails from overseas, and you can rest assured that you will be able to answer the phone. It also has great insight to instantly determine the situation on the spot. If you have a sudden overseas transaction and want someone who can make the most contribution in that limited period of time, it is a good idea to ask an executive secretary.

■Is it difficult? Introducing the work contents of executive drivers!
If you're looking for a new job, you may see an announcement about recruiting executive drivers. Although I was interested in seeing it, many people may hesitate to apply because they do not know the specific work content or the degree of difficulty. Therefore, in this article, I will explain the work content and points that are different from other drivers so that it will be helpful for those who are considering challenging executive drivers.
1. Job description of executive driver
Unlike taxis, executive drivers do not carry an unspecified number of people. Only the officers who belong to the company work exclusively for the company and can get in the car. The officers here include the president, and their main job is to pick up and drop off those people. Of course, you don't just have to pick up and drop off from your home to work, you're required to drive throughout the day at the request of the executives. Therefore, the specific working hours will be decided by the convenience of the officers. It is important to note that you cannot go to work at the same time every day.
By the way, after the officers are delivered to their destination, there will be a waiting time until the officers' errands are completed. However, there are many cases where errands are completed earlier than planned, so it is not possible to use the waiting time to go somewhere.
2. Special points of executive drivers
Officer drivers have some special features other than being limited to the officers of the company in which they provide services. If you want to be an executive driver, it's important to have a good understanding of them. I will explain the characteristics and precautions unique to executive drivers so that you will not regret that it should not have been like this since you got a job.
2-1. Heavy responsibility
The most important thing for an executive driver is a sense of responsibility. This is because getting in a car is a very important person in a company. In addition, it is important for executive drivers not only to drive the vehicle to their destination, but also to deliver executives safely and comfortably. Therefore, having high driving skills as a professional driver is a major premise for doing this job. By the way, since the movement of officers is wide-ranging, we often use the Shinkansen and airports. At that time, the situation such as being late for the departure time is not tolerated by any chance.
In addition, by carrying important people from the company, you will have more opportunities to come into contact with various information within the company. For example, conversations heard on the phone or in the back seat. Needless to say, that information cannot be leaked to the outside, so no matter what you ask in the car, you must keep the "confidentiality". From the above points, executive drivers are required to have a high sense of responsibility.
2-2. Attentiveness is required
Executive drivers carry important people for the company. Therefore, polite behavior and concern for the other party are required at any time. For example, when you park your car, you have to choose a place where you can easily get in and out of the back seat, and when it's raining, you have to get off first and put your umbrella on. There are many other points to keep in mind, such as carrying luggage and opening the door as soon as you park your car.
If possible, it would be perfect if we could analyze the personality and behavior patterns of the officers and presidents who are always on board and be able to give careful attention to the person. Of course, it is important not only to worry, but also to follow the minimum etiquette.
2-3. Work like a secretary
Needless to say, the main task of an executive driver is to drive the car to its destination. But that's not all, and sometimes you have to play a secretarial role. Schedule management is a typical example, but in addition to that, some skill as a secretary is required, including various attentiveness. Therefore, as a rough idea, you can think of an officer driver as a secretary who mainly drives.
It's not a difficult job!
Did you understand how special the work of an executive driver is? In short, more skills than a normal driver are required to carry important people in the company. But it's not a difficult task. Although the human power to support officers is important, it is a job that anyone can challenge regardless of their educational background. In particular, Transact allows you to take on the challenge of favored executive drivers.

■The president drivers place is wonderful! I will thoroughly explain the merits etc.
The "president driver" plays an active role when the president or executive of a company travels by car. However, the role of the president driver is not just to "drive a car." The work of the president driver is indispensable for the top executives of a company to concentrate on their own work and conduct business efficiently. Therefore, I will explain the basic role of the president driver, the difference from the taxi driver, and the merits of having a president driver.
1. What is the role of the president driver?
As the name implies, the president driver is the driver who delivers the top of the company to the destination, and the main business is driving a car. It is important for the president driver not only to deliver the president safely and accurately to the destination, but also to drive comfortably and speedily. Therefore, certain driving skills and a wealth of knowledge about traffic information are required. Also, the president driver is not just about driving a car. The president driver is a profession that requires daily contact with people with high social status, who are the top of the company. Therefore, not only driving skills but also advanced personal skills are required. Specifically, it is necessary to have high skills such as customer service etiquette, communication skills, calm demeanor, concentration, and observation skills.
2. This is different from a taxi!
Both the president driver and the taxi driver have in common that they drive a car with people, but there are some clear differences. That is, in the case of a taxi, an unspecified number of passengers can be carried, but the president driver can carry executives such as the top of the company. The relationship between a taxi driver and passengers is basically a once-in-a-lifetime relationship, but in the case of a president driver, you must have a continuous relationship with the same person. Therefore, the president driver needs to build a relationship of trust so that he can always have a comfortable relationship with the top of the company, which is a passenger. In addition, taxi drivers' business hours are basically irregular, and they may be concentrated in the midnight and early morning hours when there are many passengers. On the other hand, the business hours of the president driver are basically from the start time to the end time of the company or institution to which the president or officer belongs. There may be some fluctuations depending on the schedule of officers.
3. Outsourcing is recommended!
Regarding the hiring of the president driver, there is a method of hiring directly personally, but there are various advantages to using outsourcing. First of all, it saves cost and effort. Outsourcing eliminates the cost of hiring, hiring, education, and training. Secondly, outsourcing has the advantage of being efficient and easy to find a driver who meets the conditions. If one driver takes a vacation or suddenly has to take a break due to an illness or accident, he or she can immediately send a replacement driver. Since you don't have to deal with it by yourself, such as searching for a substitute driver, you can save time and effort and prevent problems in your work. Another advantage is that you don't have to take responsibility in case of trouble. In the unlikely event that a problem such as an accident occurs, the company does not have to take responsibility for damages. You can also prevent the company from having a negative reputation due to trouble.
