How to introduce outsourcing to your current staff
ü Facilitate a discussion around tasks not rolesü Look to establish the tasks that are repetitive and holding staff back from adding more valueü Create a task plan and discuss the skill sets requiredü Identify the new tasks that are high value that your Australian staff will take onü Choose a department or function of the business for a proof of concept trialü From the trial share successes and learning with the rest of the business, then extend trial to other
departmentsü Build relationships with outsourced staff just as you would with office based staff, build a team culture
