Offshoring: The missing piece of the staffing jigsaw
Offshoring in Durban,
South Africa
Are you struggling to find staff to fit the skills you require in the UK? Are you having to turn down work or struggling to grow due to capacity issues?
You’re not alone. Difficulties finding staff is the biggest barrier to growth for almost every business right now. Did we say growth? For some businesses it’s a barrier even to staying still!
But there’s a solution: Offshoring.
What is offshoring?
Offshoring is often confused with outsourcing. Outsourcing is where you contract with a third-party company (in any location) to deliver a particular service. That company will use its own staff who are not part of your team.
Offshoring on the other hand is where you hire employees overseas (usually via an offshoring agency such as ourselves) to work with your local team.
Your offshore team members become part of your team, learn about your company culture and values. They will be on first name terms with colleagues, on your internal email system and will be as fundamental to your operations as any local member of staff
In fact, the only difference is that travel costs will make it impractical for them to make it to the Christmas party!
“Initially, I was sceptical about how having a member of the team that wasn’t in the UK would work, but it’s been incredibly successful. Denisha liaises with many of the staff here in the UK daily, we do not find the difference in location a problem. She is very diligent and helpful. We have made huge progress getting on top of the workload that existed prior to Denisha joining us. We are really happy with the service provided”
