Quotes:
“Don’t treat the offshore staff any differently than the rest. Don’t expect them to know everything. Don’t just give them work and expect it to be done.”
“It’s not true that outsourced staff is good for low-value work. They are very responsive, show initiative and are great people to work with.”
“Invest time in training. It’s a costly exercise but it pays off.”
“On managing an offshore team: Take the time to explain what’s required. Point them in the right direction. Be there for them to provide assistance when needed.”
