Outsourcing tasks is a no-brainer once you’ve experienced the ease of onboarding new staff through an outsourcing partner like Pac Biz Outsourcing versus the pain of promoting a position with little or no fitting applicants, hiring the wrong person, only to have them quit and start the process again. This is a headache, especially when you’re hiring multiple people at a time.
Hiring Difficulty Trends following Onset of COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic set off unprecedented chaos within the U.S. labor market. At first, shutdowns forced employers to let go of staff, but as the workers were returning to the workforce, employers were finding great difficulty in filling positions.
Businesses have been challenged to compete with each other for workers, raising wages, adding cash bonuses and investing in different incentives to try to attract applicants.
This has come to be known as the Great Resignation. The nation’s “quit rate” reached a 20-year high in November 2021.
Clutch found that 37% of small businesses already outsourced at least one business function in 2019. With the increased challenges in hiring following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, it would come as no surprise that more companies are outsourcing many aspects of their operations.
One of the operations that are commonly outsourced is remote customer support.
What are the Benefits of Outsourcing with Pac Biz?
Reduce Payroll Costs
Our clients save significantly on their annual staffing costs by shifting to a hybrid contact center operation (some agents in-house, some remote), and we even have clients that have shifted 100% to outsourced support operations. The high wages demanded by today’s applicants can lose a business a lot of money. Why not pay more for a service you can get at half the rate?
Better Performance
Unlike the sub-par applicants you are attracting for customer service positions locally (with high turnover rate), you are treated to a talent pool of educated and experienced agents that are constantly motivated to perform with an uplifting and supportive culture instilled at Pac Biz.
Add and Remove Agents as Needed
Many businesses are seasonal and may need more staff during a certain time of year. Many companies also require hiring many agents at a time when they are experiencing growth such as acquiring competitor companies, expanding service areas, or releasing new products. Pac Biz makes it easy to add multiple agents as needed, when needed.
How Does it Work?
If this is your first time outsourcing, no worries. Our team here at Pac Biz is here to help guide you through the process.
