Outsource Accelerator, the world’s leading outsourcing aggregator, has opened its office in the Philippines.
Perched at the top of a high-rise building at the central business district in Metro Manila, Outsource Accelerator’s office aims to debunk misconceptions alleging outsourcing firms of “poor working conditions” and “sweatshop-like facilities.”
“Your team’s need for proper employment and facilities is often an overlooked and undervalued aspect of running a business. Yet, it is a basic constitutional part of building a workforce. It is possible to get by without these things, but I would argue that if you are focused on building a reliable, repeatable, scalable, and productive team–then ensuring that they have proper employment and facilities is a baseline requirement,” said Derek Gallimore, author of the book Inside Outsourcing: How Remote Work, Offshoring & Global Employment is Changing the World, Gallimore’s book reflects the importance of having a head office during these times.
In his book, he shared his perspective on how one’s working conditions impact a business like business process outsourcing.
“(They) are now experts in managing facilities and providing environments that positively impact employees’ welfare, retention, and motivation,” Gallimore said.
With remote work being the norm these days, businesses need to continue to invest in an office space that is both functional and collaborative. Outsourcing is the future of work, and the physical office plays a big role in that future.
The goal should be to create an environment where employees feel comfortable each day.
Gallimore, an advocate for outsourcing as “the most powerful business tool,” believes the Philippines could be heading towards the apex of providing this service to the rest of the world.
