Benefits of outsourcing: Mobilising business leaders to unlock strategic agility
Providing a good customer experience (CX) is tricky and nowhere near straightforward. Business leaders focus on CX and why their customer engagements must stay attentive without being seen as aggressive. To unlock strategic agility, it’s crucial to understand that while customer decision journeys are long and winding, ironically, they’re also impulsive. Engagement demands an omnichannel approach, especially since Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made customers impatient, requiring instant and clear communications at all times.
To deal with this complex CX landscape, brands are turning to outsourcing to stay agile and engaged. Organisations and brands can leverage an outsourcing partner’s global scale, local expertise, and next-gen technologies for faster innovation and market responsiveness.
Key advantages of outsourcing
Onboarding third-party experts and agents to handle the operations of a business, especially customer experiences, has many benefits:
Cost efficiency and scalability
Rather than bearing the full fixed costs of hiring, training, office space and technology, organisations pay only for the services that are actually used. An outsourcing partner has trained staff on hand (or in a scalable training pipeline), so organisations can expand capacities in real time and without delay when the demand spikes. No multi-month recruiting or onboarding cycle is required.
Because a global outsourcing partner spreads infrastructure, technology and overhead across many clients and thousands of agents, they can deliver each unit of service (per call, per chat session, etc.) at a lower effective cost than a single organisation could achieve on its own.
Reduced compliance burdens
An outsourcing partner helps organisations shoulder all the regulatory requirements around staffing and employment. Governments worldwide, including Australia, are tightening rules on how workers must be classified (employee vs. contractor), mandatory benefits, and pay equity. An outsourcing partner will monitor those changes and update its processes, enabling organisations to stay out of hot water.
In some territories, new rules require that outsourced workers doing the same role, even if a different legal entity employs them, must receive the same base pay and benefits as the in-house staff. An experienced partner can handle that alignment with aplomb and ensure parity.
In short, outsourcing offloads the headache of tracking, interpreting and implementing complex labour regulations, freeing organisations and their personnel to focus on core business, not legal checklists.
Enhanced quality and customer experience
Agents have a ton of experience, and they imbibe a brand’s values to act as an extension of the in-house team. Ongoing refresher courses and focus on tenets like listening to the consumer help them remain up-to-date on new offerings. Moreover, ISO-certified processes maintain consistency in the service delivery with airtight data protection.
Dedicated analytics teams mine interaction data for patterns in customer pain points, especially from an Australian perspective, common escalations and emerging product questions. The insights ensure that the customer satisfaction (C-SAT) scores never face a dip and that first-contact resolution rates are maintained.
Technological innovation and AI integration
An outsourcing partner embeds advanced tools directly into the business operations to drive better productivity and customer understanding. Real-time audio intelligence, for instance, can help detect certain keywords and shifts in sentiment.
AI-powered assistance, on the other hand, helps agents during interactions with context-aware prompts (knowledge base (KB) articles, suggested responses, next-best actions) drawn from an organisation’s product docs and past tickets. This reduces training time and boosts first-contact resolution.
Business continuity and resilience
An experienced outsourcing partner mitigates risks that could otherwise interrupt service deliveries. A geographically distributed service delivery centre ensures that a localised disruption never halts your operations. The same centre also maintains 24/7/365 support coverage. The teams peppered across time zones are multilingual and multi-ethnic, delivering round-the-clock availability. In some cases, Australians are helped with work visas in these countries to enable smooth conversations free of awkward phrasing or misunderstandings.
