Building an affordable, talented, and commit- ted workforce

Employee performance is critical to the success of any business and to achieve the business goal requires a team of talented and committed people. Effective employee retention increases business productivity. The staff retention rates for Logix are extremely high. This not only protects the investments from partners but is also a sign of a committed workforce. The key to commitment is staff salaries, which are significantly higher than industry standards. But even at higher rates, the amounts are considerably lower in the Philippines compared to local workforces around the world. The teams do not suffer from motivational issues because they are well paid, well incentivized and are provided with a rewarding work environment.

Process of outsourcing with Logix

Explicating about the process of outsourcing with Logix, Anthony said, “The process starts with a discovery call with myself or our head of sales. During this call, we understand business objectives, and

start to formulate the types of staffing needs that are going to be required. Our internal talent acquisition teams then produce shortlists of well-vetted and highly talented people to present to the partner. Unlike a lot of our competitors, we like our partners to select their team members rather than enforcing team members into their teams; unless they ask to take care of this for them. Once team members have been selected, we build the team, onboard them into our client’s dashboard, providing any training our clients need. We onboard the team into the Logix systems and processes, ensure objectives and KPIs are understood and integrated into processes. Set up the IT and operational infrastructure. We then launch teams into 30, 60 or 90 daily rolling campaigns.”

Reducing employment cost of clients

Through their outsourcing solution, Logix ensures businesses to save more than 50% on the salary cost alone, as well as removes the additional costs associated with developing an in house-team. Even with the elevated staff salaries, typically staffing costs are between 55% and 70% lower compared to local hiring, and operational costs reduce between 80% and 90%.

Innovative techniques to stand apart

Outsourcing is a highly competitive sector and gaining recognition in the crowded space is a tough thing. Speaking about the innovative efforts Logix puts in to stay strong against peers, Anthony said, “We do operate in a competitive space. But we also operate in an industry sector known for poor labor standards. We have competitors that are known for their churn and burn mentality to staff and we simply do not stand for it. Even during the planning stages of the business, the culture and key virtues were a significant part of the objectives. We pay our staffs much better than many of our competitors, listen and act on their feedback, provide a great cultural, working environment, incentives, and opportunities to grow. Other than being a fantastic employer, we have IT and operational infra- structure to rival any global competitor. We are constantly innovating, testing new software, trialling new processes, tracking our competitors and improving the skills of our leadership teams to ensure we stay one step ahead of our competitors. However, it is the retention of agents, in an industry known for high attrition that sets us apart.”

Upcoming Market trends

Businesses across industries are adapting to the new trends and technologies. With changes in customer expectations, chatbot use is on the rise. Chatbots are helping streamline call centre team processes and are proving valuable in collecting data for agents, therefore lowering the time an agent spends on an individual call. This in turn increases the call volume rate. Chatbots can also take over certain functions and agents can deliver time on higher value tasks. Anthony anticipates it to play a crucial role in future BPO industry.

Logix strives to become the trusted outsourcing partner for businesses by building remote teams that reduce staffing costs by 70%, allowing business to be more profitable and competitive.
