What Are The Negative Effects Of Outsourcing
We all know that nothing is perfect.
However, I have not found anything to be problematic about outsourcing Filipino virtual assistant since I started 12 years ago.
I have heard complaints where outsourcers left without notice. They ended email contact and there was no further communication. This can be very frustrating and many feel they would have more control if the person was local.
However, if someone doesn’t show up for work…have you ever went to their home and asked why?
Not showing up for work is not specific to outsourcing, it is reflective of a bigger problem though. For myself and my clients in the Winner’s Circle we’ve never experienced this issue because of our effective hiring process and the systems we have in play to ensure longevity.

- didn’t have an onboarding plan
- didn’t know how to communicate clearly
