The Business Process Outsourcing Industry in the Philippines
The Philippines has had tremendous success in the business process outsourcing
industry, recently surpassing India to become the dominant country in the BPO
industry. The BPO industry is about a decade old, which has had a profound impact on
many aspects of the Philippines. Its growth has created wealth and employment. Since
the turn of the millennium, an industry which barley existed now boasts half a million
direct employees, in addition to countless numbers of indirect jobs. This has attracted
many employees to the industry because of its high paying salaries, usually 3-5 times
more than the minimum wage bracket. Call centre employees are often getting paid
more than nurses or teachers in the Philippines. The BPO industry is on track to reach
a value of $25 billion in 2016.
The Philippines has become the call centre capital of the world because of its young,
educated, and highly skilled workers who speak “American–style” English. The
Philippines has the third largest English speaking population in the world. English is
the language of the education system, businesses, commerce, and the government.
Fortune 500 companies like Dell, IBM, Capital One, Telus International, AIG, AT & T,
HSBC and many others have outsourced and trusted the Philippines with their business
process. Many fortune 500 companies have setup offices in Manila to offer customer
service or back office services to support their operations in first world countries. They
have chosen the Philippines because of the highly-skilled, English speaking, and low-
cost labour force. Manila has shifted a large amount of resources and its education
system to supply this ever-growing demand of global outsourcing.
Why the philippines?
14. 14 B U S I N E S S P R O C E S S O U T S O U R C I N G
Until recently, BPO services were only available to large companies that were equipped
with the capital and resources to setup call centres overseas. Online technology
such as cloud services, online accounting systems, webmail, remote access, and
voice over IP phone systems are opening up this outsourcing model to small and
medium-sized businesses. Task Network Inc. was created to bridge the gap, in order
to offer small to medium-sized businesses with the same outsourcing model that only
large corporations have benefited from throughout previous years.
The Benefits of Outsourcing to the Philippines
• The cost of labor in the Philippines is significantly lower compared to
countries like Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
• Call centres in the Philippines have some of the highest paid employees in the
country. Employees in the Philippines have chosen this career path
because of its fast level of advancement and its above average salaries.
• Employment in the BPO industry is in high demand in the Philippines.
• The Philippines has the right combination of cultural, educational, and
economic factors, which make the country the perfect location for outsourcing.
• The majority of Filipinos are extremely fluent in English, which allows them to
handle all types of calls effectively and accurately.
• The majority of Filipinos are well educated, often holding college and
university degrees.
• Filipinos take pride in their work and are very loyal to their employers.
• They have been known to be one of the most dedicated and hardworking
people in the world.
• Call centre agents in the Philippines value customer service, patience,
and work ethic.
