Offshore Managed Services – 2ndoffice Philippine Outsourcing
Offshore Managed Services (OMS) is a business delivery model that involves a contractual relationship between the client (you) and a professional BPO organization (2nd Office) wherein 2nd Office provides dedicated (full or part-time) employees to the client and takes over recruitment of employees and all personnel-related administrative activities, including HR, the administration of benefits programs.
The client will be able to interview and select who they would like to hire for their extended offshore team. The staff will work full-time on average 170 hours a month, 5 days a week on an agreed schedule. They can work on any holiday schedule which will be pre-determined before an agreement has been made.
Clients are assigned a Team Lead (TL) that will help manage this offshore team to help keep track of their performance metrics, quality of deliverable and attendance. We ensure that with our TL and additional operational support teams are available so that our client is spending less time micro-managing their remote teams and more time in running their day-to-day business.
With our offshore managed services solution, clients are responsible for providing us with performance metrics, SLA and will need to work with 2nd office so our Team Leads can insure that your team is happy and is working to maximum capacity. The Team Lead is a shared resource (unless mutually decided otherwise). As your team grows with us, we will work with you to assign a team lead that will be a dedicated part of your offshore team.
