Any lapses on any of these attributes can completely derail your outsourced process

1. Top 5 mistakes of outsourcing and how to
avoid them

2. The top 5 mistakes that can completely derail your outsourced process are:
 Choosing the wrong outsourcing destination
 Wrong choice of vendor
 Not participating in hiring of remote employees
 Lack of communication with remote employees
 Inadequate data security measures

3. Choosing the wrong
outsourcing destination
 Companies and entrepreneurs often ignore the importance of the
outsourcing destination
 The ideal location should have ample availability of the skill sets you
require
 It should ideally be a stable democracy and have a clearly defined rule of
law

making the wrong choice

promises
 Many vendors have nothing more than just a URL
 To avoid this mistake, conduct a proper research on your requirements

requirements
 Going for the cheapest option may land you in trouble at a later stage

5. Not participating in hiring of
remote employees
 Not participating in the hiring of remote employees can give your wrong
sill sets
 To avoid this mistake, never hire a remote employee without personally
assessing the skill sets
 Make sure you cross-examine the credentials with the previous employers
 Always make it a point that you interview the remote resource personally

6. Lack of communication with
remote employees
 Outsourced processes require your personal involvement in deriving the
results
 That is why your direct communication with remote employees is of
utmost importance
 Communication gaps can lead to delayed deadlines and missed targets
 So, make it a point that you communicate extensively with your remote
employees

security measures
