Improving the Effectiveness of Your Outsourcing Arrangements Outsourcing is a great way of ensuring the job gets done at a cost that is most favourable to your business. You can discuss what needs to be done, how it will be done and the timeframe within which it will be done. Outsourcingis the new way of doing business. It frees you from labour laws, wage agreements, wage regulations and so forth. Also, since most of the businesses providing these Bookkeeping Services are based in Asia, there is a huge advantage in costs. As with everything, outsourcingtoo has its pitfalls. Including runaway costs and deliveries that weren’t what was expected. Most of these happen due to lack of communication and planning. Here’s how you can improve the effectiveness of your outsourcing arrangements.
Figure out what you need done and how much it would cost you locally Knowing what exactly what needs to be done is half-way to successful and effective outsourcing. Next, find out how much it would cost you to hire locals to get the job done. Factor in minimum wages, bonuses, insurance and other perks. Doing this will ensure you know how much you will save when you select the outsourcing provider you will work with. Start with making a list of service providers Without exception, all outsourcing service providers have websites. Google your requirement and see how many of them match your needs. Short-list a few. Consider Relevant Providers Have they been providing services that you need? Are they willing to share references? Compare and Choose Do they have a pay-as-you-go agreements? Are their terms transparent? How do they communicate? Consider creating an Excel Chart so you can compare Outsourcing Photo Editing. Go for a Trial Run If your needs are long-term, consider a trial run. It needs to be of sufficiently duration so the service provider has time to familiarize with your specific requirements. Set up a Monitoring Team If the work you are outsourcing is large enough, consider hiring someone locally (or delegating responsibility), so as to monitor the performance of the outsourcing team. Plan for changes in advance Would outsourcing mean that you will eventually need to issue pink slips to some of your staff? Or, would the way you work change? If so, some advance planning will go a long way in smoothening out the transition. Proper Documentation Chatting on the phone or video conferencing is great but document everything. Better still, ask the service provider to send you a document that includes terms that were discussed. Transfer Accountability
Sometimes, the service provider may unintentionally do things that could result in financial liability for your business. Make sure these areas are covered in the terms you set. Track the performance reviews Read the reviews that your monitoring team provides you. Reading those reviews within a day or two of them being produced ensures you can catch errors and rectify them quickly. E.g. The service provider may do something unintentionally that violates your local laws. Regular Communication Make your self available for regular communication. Even if there are no issues, it helps build a repo with your service provider and goes a long way in ensuring the effectiveness of your outsourcing arrangements.
