2. Higher pay

One of the most compelling advantages of BPO for offshore employees is the potential for higher pay compared to local job opportunities.

Companies often provide competitive salaries to attract and retain skilled professionals, offering a chance for better financial stability.

“[When you compare] our BPO salary to a regular job, even if you are a professional, we [offer a] way higher [salary] than them. It’s double.” Derline highlighted the financial advantages of BPO.

3. Monetary incentives

Beyond base salaries, BPO roles for offshore workers can include monetary incentives like performance bonuses, allowances, and rewards programs. 

The SixEleven manager added, “We provide perks, provide rewards and commissions to our employees aside from having the basic salary. Aside from the higher pay that you are getting, you are still earning much more depending on how you perform.”

4. HMO

Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) are frequently part of the benefits package for offshore BPO employees. 

Access to comprehensive healthcare coverage supports employees’ well-being and contributes to their job satisfaction and security.

5. Career ladder

BPO roles present abundant opportunities for career advancement. Employees can climb the career ladder through training programs, skill development initiatives, and mentorship. They will achieve higher positions and responsibilities within the organization.

Further, Derline discussed the substantial opportunities in the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry, particularly within SixEleven. 

The guest emphasized the career advancement prospects within the organization. She mentioned the firm’s promotion process, highlighting SixEleven’s practice of promoting individuals from their internal talent pool.

In addition, Derline provided insights into the criteria for promotion, “If we can see an agent who performs well, we look at them to promote—probably in two years or a year from now.”
