Outsourcing offers a wide range of benefits. However, you can only enjoy these if 1) you were able to find a reliable outsourcing company in the Philippines and 2) if you are able to work well with your outsourced staff or team. In this post, we’ll give some tips for working with offshore teams successfully.
1. View your outsourced team as part of your in-house team.
In almost all outsourcing setup, the outsourced staff is technically not your employee. But however you look at it, they are your teammates. That’s what’s unique about outsourcing, after all. You get the opportunity to work with offshore talent that offers technical expertise on a subject. It’s practically hiring a professional to do tasks for you at a fraction of the cost.
To ensure that you and your in-house team functions smoothly with your outsourced staff, make them feel welcome. For instance, you should invite them to meetings and include them in company announcements. After all, they need to know what’s going on so they’re in the loop of any updates and developments.
2. Communicate with them regularly.
When you choose a trusted outsourcing company in the Philippines such as MCVO Talent, you will work with experienced people who know what to do and when to do it even if you don’t tell them constantly. However, even if you know that your offshore team can handle tasks by themselves, you should still make it a point to communicate with them regularly. Familiarity goes a long way and both of you will be comfortable with each other. If you’re busy, have someone in your in-house team always in touch with your offshore staff.
3. Don’t withhold recognition.
Did your offshore team accomplish a difficult task? Were they able to exceed your expectations? Did they beat tight deadlines? A simple thank you every time your offshore team finishes projects can help solidify your relationship with them. But of course, a bonus is always welcome!
