The need for an assistant may not be as important as for top executives, but there is one. The modern employee is overloaded with information, over-solicited all day long, and even at home.


LexisNexis found that sixty percent of employees have a hard time locating the information they need. A 2005 analysis by Basex revealed that interruptions consume almost thirty percent of the workday, resulting in a cost of $588 billion per annum in the US alone. Mimecast estimates that two out of three emails received are non-essential. The average employee sent and received 103 emails per day in 2013 and spent almost two hours and a half per day on emails, according to a survey by The Radicati Group.
