Recruitment Outsourcing Transformational Impact

2020 was a difficult year for the global business landscape. While major businesses had BCPs in place, they weren’t prepared for such a disruptive crisis. Companies took drastic and immediate steps to ensure survival, from furloughing and firing employees to pivoting their services. It’s been over a year now, and companies have started recovering from the economic difficulties created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Even when we see a recovery now, this crisis may have changed the business landscape for good. We’ve heard this term “the new normal” through the last year – businesses will open up, and the jobs market will open up; however, the business’s operating structure and service delivery model may never be the same again. This pandemic pushed enterprises to revisit their BCP – reassess their overall operating structure, remodel their service delivery structure, and bring increased agility and flexibility within their workflow to help them progress unhindered even amidst uncertain conditions.

Now more than ever, businesses are determined to attain financial stability with a prime focus on elevating revenue generation and scaling productivity rapidly while integrating new business models within their current one, allowing them enhanced process efficiency and operating flexibility.

We’ve already witnessed increased acceptance and adoption of the work-from-home practice and a high number of collaborations between businesses for mutually beneficial growth in the past year. Though these activities were need of the hour at the time, they may as well be continued in the future. A new normal!

Similarly, outsourcing has often been a misunderstood practice in the past. Businesses now see value in it, one that surpasses the widely-known value of cost savings. Though cost savings is one of the key benefits of outsourcing, it isn’t the only one.
