OFW Speak

Outsourcing from all you have heard is one of the most innovative ways to do business. It is basically a win-win situation both on the outsource person and the outsourcing party. But mind you of some horror stories when it comes to outsourcing.

And these are the top mistakes people make when outsourcing in the Philippines.

1. Delaying Pay

When an offfshore worker of yours noticed your frequent delays of pay, he or she will surely have second thoughts of staying with you. Be prompt when it comes to pay, after all that's the main reason why we all work, right? If it is really inevitable to have a delayed pay, explain it.

2. Giving Lengthy Test Tasks 

When it comes to filtering candidates for a job, it is only imperative to know who are boys from men. But it doesn't mean you have to give them test tasks that takes days to finish. Your purpose might be true, but what would the candidates think? They will think that you are just bogus, giving them tests tasks that don't even insure them a job. Give them job not work.

3. Offensive Words

This might sound obvious, but Filipinos have a keen sense when it comes to words. We are courteous and our culture is way different from Western ones, so when a foreigners speaks "F*ck yeah" sometime we interpret it otherwise especially when communicating solely thru text and no voice expressions are relayed.

Just the basic ones for now, they might seem obvious but when practiced they will surely assure your failure in this kind of field.
