Synopsis
According to the episode, one of the benefits of business process outsourcing (BPO) is the provision of breaks, time off, and other perks for employees. The guest speaker emphasized the importance of organizations seeking out a BPO that prioritizes the well-being of its people and employees. When employees feel a sense of belonging, have growth opportunities, and have their ideas valued, they are more likely to deliver excellent customer service. By selecting a BPO that takes care of its employees, organizations can ensure that their customers receive top-notch service, as the employees will have all the necessary tools and support. This focus on employee well-being ultimately leads to a positive customer experience and effective outsourcing.
