On-Demand Economy
We live in an On-demand economy. As the name implies, everything is practically on-demand. Thanks to technological advancements and innovations, everything is readily available at our fingertips, literally and figuratively. The on-demand economy is revolutionizing daily end-to-end activities and transactions from ride-sharing platforms, grocery checkouts, mobile marketplace, and payment systems.
It is estimated that the on-demand economy will soar to reach a whopping $335 billion by 2025, according to a PwC forecast. (Mobile App Daily)
Today’s economy is big on roles that support business processes. Business Process has flourished as one of the most common on-demand services. Organizations are tapping into third-party providers to meet the requirements of their business processes. On-demand staffing services, back-office and administrative support, Accounting, App Development services, Tech Support, are some examples of such roles.
The Need for Offshore Staffing
The question of addressing long-term and steady growth that is built to sustain is where offshore staffing steps in and comes handy.
Offshore staffing is the process of businesses hiring, building, managing a dedicated team or staff located offshore, or in an overseas geographical location, to support business processes. To sustain operations better, providers are turning to offshore staffing. Offshore staffing, or building a dedicated virtual or captive team based offshore through an outsourcing partner, allows for more efficiency, flexibility and convenience.
Getting Started on Offshore Staffing Augmentation
To get started with offshore staffing, organizations need to review the amount of visibility and control they want over the outsourced processes.
They need to decide the exact tasks they want to delegate to offshore teams, and at the same time what setup works best for their business processes.
Organizations must establish and develop a structured implementation to leverage the services of offshore teams. There must be comprehensive understanding, thought, structured planning and process documentation of the roadmap and methodology on the part of organizations looking to assign functions to teams. This way right roles can be established and the right talent with the right qualification and skills can be tapped as part of the dedicated offshore team. Resources such as system access, work schedules, quality plans, and training manuals should be planned ahead and prepared.
Organizations must also look for offshore team provider with the capability to adapt to their business process, provide excellent service delivery and offshoring management and look at opportunities that lead to process improvement.
Once tasks, processes, and roles are mapped out, it is critical to note how many people do they need to onboard in a dedicated offshore team.
Along with the required manpower, equally important is the definition of the project scope. Having to plot the timeline, goals and objectives will help define the project which will be helpful in understanding the project scope and duration.
Benefits of Offshore Staffing
Maintain Full Control
In a captive staff augmentation model, organizations do not lose control of their business. In fact, they have more control of the businesses since they decide how offshore staffing works best to fit their needs. Clients maintain control on the operations. From staffing requirements, operating systems, tools, processes, schedules, quality checks, and pricing – these are all solely established and decided by the client.
The client defines the team and corresponding skills required to fill per role. More importantly, the client chooses the talent best suited for the role. With the advent of technology such as the use of cloud connectivity training sessions and cloud-based collaboration and connectivity tools, trainings and feedback can be cascaded and reinforced seamlessly. Productivity and quality is also maintained, or improved even, with proper management of key performance indicators (KPIs) through daily real-time or near real-time monitoring of stats measuring productivity, utilization and quality.
