In a recent fraud survey conducted by the Bankers Society, the most interesting detail was that of the companies that had been surveyed. The second highest response to fraud prevention was reference checking/employee verification initiatives. However, many companies do not even bother to check reference details of their employees and many references are taken at face value without recourse to the referee.

We have made it top priority in our business – both in our approach to verification as well as the approach we take on each project to verify and re-verify the accuracy of reports. This commitment to quality from the beginning is what is responsible for our incredible achievement so far in the area of Verification Services.

The concept of fully loaded cost is fundamental to BPO. Most times, clients will only think of the cost of labour when attempting to establish the cost to the business of having Person X performing tasks A, B & C in-house. However, it is critical to factor in the costs associated with hardware, software, furniture, stationery, salary contributions, management, and training in order to accurately understand the true cost of this person to the organisation i.e. the fully loaded cost.

By partnering with a specialist BPO provider like us, you eliminate the need to recruit & train new employees as well as cut down on administration & HR management costs.

With the current trend in improving the bottom-line of the organisation through WFMC Outsourcing model provides our client expertise in the different areas that we focus on.

With the increasing need of organisation’s to focus the effort of all team members on sales & revenue generation, outsourcing has never been more needed.

The emphasis of BPO has long shifted from pure cost reduction to performance improvement. BPO providers are specialists at the services they provide and, as such, can deliver improved service quality to clients.

By allowing your BPO partner to handle some or all of your non-core activities, your own in-house team can refocus all time, energy and resources on activities directly linked to your top line.

By partnering with a BPO provider, firms enable themselves to become leaner, more dynamic and more agile.

BPO providers allow client firms to scale quickly in response to increased demand and/or new services/products or promotional campaigns. This is imperative in today’s economic climate.

One of the most critical units of any organisation is Human Resources, because it is the unit saddled with the responsibility of attracting and retaining talent.

The HR unit also handles all administrative processes and procedures that are likely to slow down the productivity of the organisation.

Our HR outsourcing solution aims to help MSMEs create greater efficiency within their HR systems, thereby reducing the time and resources spent on HR administration and freeing up management attention to focus on strategic HR activities.

At the same time MSMEs will be able to gain access to a highly competent pool of HR practitioners for professional HR guidance and advice.

Studies have shown that MSMEs who outsource some key functions of their business reaped significant profitability compared to those who don’t.

HR functions are often challenging for MSME’s because they either lack the skills and manpower required to effectively perform the role or are unable to afford the complex and expensive technology to maintain HR systems and software. This tends to put them at a disadvantage.

As an SME, you can decide to outsource your entire HR operations, or get a less personalised service that complements the expertise you already have in-house.

Some of our commonly outsourced HR functions we handle, include:

• Recruitment
• Payroll
• HR Strategy
• Background Checks
• Temporary Staffing
• Benefits and Compensation
• Employee Training
• Pensions
• Employee handbook and policy manual creation
• Training/Talent development
• Exit Management

Our HR-Go-To which is targeted at MSMEs offers a flexibility of options that allows your company the freedom to focus on its areas of core competence.

Whether your organisation needs full-time hands on HR support which would require handling its end-to-end HR functions for a period of time, or one that takes care of specific aspects of the HR function, the HR-Go-To has the capabilities to deliver.

Where only specific HR tasks or processes are to be handled by HR-Go-To, an HR professional will come in once a week to attend to the HR concerns the company has outsourced in order to ensure that there are no lapses where these functions are concerned.

Outsourcing is a practice that many companies around the world are adopting to achieve greater organisational effectiveness, flexibility, improved efficiency, reduced overheads and a focused HR management.

Organisations are constantly faced with the decision of whether to expend resources to create an asset, resource, product or service internally or to buy it from an external party. If the organisation chooses to buy, it is engaging in outsourcing.

The modern day organisation outsources software development, innovation and research, and development efforts. They also outsource functional areas such as marketing, human resource administration, as well as finance and accounting.

An outsourcing initiative calls for the transfer of factors of production; the resources used to perform the work and the decision rights, or responsibilities for making decisions.

With the increasing need of organisation’s to focus the effort of all team members on sales & revenue generation, outsourcing has never been more needed.

The emphasis of Outsourcing has long shifted from pure cost reduction to performance improvement.

Task Outsourcing

Workforce Task Outsourcing caters to businesses that need to outsource those tasks which are mundane and voluminous; requiring independent evaluation and reporting, or those tasks which can be executed more efficiently and cost effectively by an outside partner.

Organisations need human and material resources that can match up with the challenging demands of building an effective business. However, in many cases, they are unable to supply the right mix of knowledge and competence required to execute specific tasks or projects.

Considering that it is expensive and unrealistic to stockpile skillsets that are only used occasionally, every organisation looks to maximise time and profit, and minimise cost. When one-off tasks and projects have to be executed, the most effective way to get them done on time and successfully is by outsourcing them to a competent third party provider.

It’s for this reason that the staff-on-demand service was introduced through our mobile technology platform that features a crowd sourced on demand – Outwork. The app provides workers to help execute tasks so organisations can focus on their innovation and growth.

Staff-on-demand addresses specific projects or tasks that individuals, groups or organistions have to carry out within a scheduled time frame.

The advantage of outsourcing these tasks is that businesses do not have to incur the extra cost associated with the more common staff-on-premise service that requires outsourced staff to work fully from the client’s office.

The organisation can also focus on its core competencies and rest assured that their project has been left in the hands of professionals who will give value for money.

With staff-on-demand, outsourced staff who can be likened to foot soldiers who are recruited to execute projects efficiently and on time. Virtually every task (particularly those which require a large number of people) can be executed through the Staff-on-demand service.

Therefore, whether you are a data analyst seeking to make use of data regarding the number of telecommunications companies within a region of the country, or a waste recycler looking to gather tons of empty cans, the staff-on-demand solution is for you.
