Short of staff?
Why not consider outsourcing?

Whether you talk to your friends or other business owners, they say the same thing – too much work and too few people to do it! Of course, we all say this at some point, but at the moment, it really is a massive problem for businesses, particularly those wanting to grow. Outsourcing specific roles or requirements is the simplest, most flexible way to ensure your business keeps operating efficiently.

So, stop piling more work onto your already overloaded desk and consider outsourcing!

Why consider outsourcing?

Outsourcing will give you direct access to experienced and talented people who are already skilled in their area of expertise.

It allows you to ensure you have the optimal staffing level precisely when you need it.
It allows you to manage and divide your team’s workload effectively.
Outsourcing boosts productivity and provides business continuity.

Outsourcing – having an extra pair of hands

A lot has been said about outsourcing over the past few years. Much we stumble upon leaves us with the impression outsourcing is complicated and more complex than we hoped it would be. There is the added notion that outsourcing tasks implies increased costs, increased issues around data protection, a loss of control and difficulties for managing functions.

We don’t believe that to be true at all. We define outsourcing as the practice of passing individual tasks, business areas, or business processes over to an experienced, external business. By doing so, you will receive the results you want from a provider outside of your own company. Is this not what we do every day? It’s not like we hesitate to call a plumber to mend a leak in our home when we cannot do it! It’s just an extra, expert pair of hands when we need them!

How should you go about outsourcing?

Focus, focus, focus….

Your current in-house team are your most valuable assets. Don’t risk losing either by overloading your team with projects and tasks outside of their expertise.

Instead, increase your internal teams capacity by allowing them to work and focus on your core projects and critical outputs.

Lower costs

Many of you will have the impression that outsourcing is expensive but recruitment, onboarding and training are costly, time-consuming and don’t always offer a long-term benefit if your new recruit decides your company is not for them.

Yes, your provider will need good understanding of how your business works. However, you will find that those who outsource their services are very used to settling quickly into a business. Invariably this means that costs and time required are far lower than you might expect. By reallocating your budget to outsourcing, you will get expert support on tap as and when you need it without the need for recruitment and onboarding costs. Outsourced staff will not require mentoring time as a new employee might, so the mentors time remains free as well.

Tap into a large talent pool and collaborate with skilled experts

Every business needs an expert at some point! Most business owners are jack-of-all-trades, as are many of their staff – it’s just how small and growing businesses operate. However, at some point, you will need to collaborate with skilled experts, ready to work when you need them and for as long as you need them. The value of this on-tap expert support will quickly be realised as tasks get completed faster, better, and more accurately.

Enjoy the safety net

Short-term or continued understaffing can occur regardless of how big your team is and how good your organisational skills are. Having an expert safety net or bank of experts to call on will ensure you have stability and continuity – and peace of mind!
