1.1 Introduction

In a recent years Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) has added a new dimension to the practice of

global sourcing of service. BPO refers to handing over of a client organization's business process(es), in

part or full, to specialist third party provider(s) who may be located within or outside of the client's

national boundary.

Two significant market forces are driving this practice: a growing low-cost white-collar labor pool and

automation and codification of best practices. The potential for lower labor cost and greater efficiency

are two important factors as companies consider BPO. One of those two factors alone isn’t enough to

create sustainable value because skilled labor and technology are the most important cornerstones of any

business process and both must be optimized to create lasting value and maintain a competitive edge.

The main activities or areas covered by the BPOs include customer care, such as remote maintenance,

help desk, and sales support; finance and administration, examples of which are data analysis, medical

transcription, insurance claims, and inventory management; and HR and payment services including

payroll, credit-card services, check processing, and employee leasing. In addition, the BPO industry has

expanded into engineering and design, animation, market research, network consultancy and

management, remote education, and content development (i.e., digital content, LAN networks, and

application maintenance).

In this research we will study the employee’s satisfaction survey being working completely Work from

home. We will see if employees are satisfied whole working completely remotely and what are the

benefits, they see for them.

Business Process Outsourcing

Business process outsourcing (BPO) is the delegation of one or more IT-intensive business processes to

an external provider that, in turn, owns, administrates and manages the selected processes based on

defined and measurable performance metrics. BPO offerings are categorized in two major categories:

horizontal offerings (those that can be leveraged across specific industries) and vertical-specific

offerings (those that demand specific industry vertical process knowledge).

Organizations engage in business process outsourcing for two main areas of work: back-office functions

and front-office functions. Back-office functions, sometimes called internal business functions, comprise

support operations including accounting, information technology (IT) services, human resources (HR),

quality assurance and payment processing.

Front-office functions are processes and business operations that serve or relate to existing and potential

customers, such as customer relation services, marketing and sales.

Some organizations outsource an entire function, such as the HR department, to a single vendor. Other

companies outsource only specific processes within a functional area, such as only payroll processing,

while having their own team perform all other HR processes.

Commonly outsourced processes include the following:

payroll and accounting, administration, customer support, IT management and services, manufacturing

,marketing, research

8
Outsourcing

Outsourcing is the act of transferring some of an organization’s recurring internal activities and decision

rights to outside providers, as set forth in a contract. Outsourcing today involves either IT or BPO.

Information technology outsourcing (ITO) which involves a third party who is contracted to manage a

particular application includes all related server networks and software upgrades. BPO generally features

a third party who manages the entire business process such as accounting, procurement or HR. When the

outsourcing facility is located outside the principal company’s country this is termed as offshoring.

Offshoring and outsourcing have a synergistic relationship. The traditional model for insourcing keeps

the work in-house and onshore. Manufacturing work during the 1980s began to migrate to areas that

offered lower labor costs. Manufacturing moved from expensive urban areas to rural areas offering

relatively cheaper land, tax incentives and holidays and skilled manpower at lower wages. In their quest

to achieve a higher cost arbitrage, global corporations started moving their internal manufacturing,

operations, and service functions such as call centers and back-office processes to lower-cost countries

while keeping them in-house as company-run operations. This move is motivated by a desire to be closer

to and gain improved access to foreign markets in addition to pursuit of low-cost operations

9
How does BPO work?

Enterprise executives opt to outsource a business process for a variety of reasons. Those reasons vary

based on the type, age and size of the organization as well as market forces and economic conditions.

Startup companies, for example, often need to outsource back-office and front-office functions because

they do not have the in-house resources to perform them.

An established company may opt to outsource a task that it had been performing after determining that a

third-party service provider could do the job better or cheaper. Management experts advise enterprise

executives to identify functions that can be outsourced and then determine if shifting that task to an

outsourcing provider makes sense.

If so, the organization must go through the process of not only identifying the best vendor for the work,

but also shifting the work from in-house to the external provider. This requires a significant amount of

change management, as the move to an outsourced provider generally affects staff, established processes

and existing workflows. The shift to an outsourced provider also affects the organization's finances -- not

only in terms of shifting costs from the internal function to the outsourced providers, but often in terms

of corporate taxes and reporting requirements.

The organization may also need to invest in new technology to enable the smooth flow of work to the

outsourced provider. The extent and cost of that technology depend on the scope of the function being

outsourced and the maturity of the technology infrastructure in place at both enterprises.

This process typically starts with enterprise leaders identifying specific functions or business processes

to outsource as a way to save money, gain flexibility, improve performance and redirect resources to its

core business capabilities.

Business leaders then consider whether one vendor should handle all the work being outsourced

or whether contracting multiple providers for the various tasks would deliver the best value. For

example, a company could decide to outsource most of its HR functions and then either contract

10
for a single provider to perform all the outsourced processes or it could hire one for payroll and

another for benefits administration. Those considerations should lead to a list of requirements as

well as a detailed scope of work for outsourcing. Organizations use those to shape a request for

proposal to share with vendors that determine whether they can meet the requirements, at what

price and with what value-adds.

Once an organization has selected the provider or providers it wants to hire, it must determine

the type of contract. Such contracts generally fall into one of the following categories: time and

materials contracts, in which the business pays the provider for the time worked and the

materials used; or fixed-price contracts, which set an upfront price for the specified work.

Additionally, organizations must draft with their vendors the service-level agreement detailing

the quality of the provided services and the metrics for determining success. Depending on the

needs and nature of the outsourced work, some organizations also negotiate with providers on

whether to have the following: specific workers on teams dedicated to their outsourced work;

workers located only onshore or, conversely, globally distributed; or

workers available 24/7 or only during set hours.

11
It is truly said that “A study without objectives is like a tree without roots.” In

any area of research, the first and the foremost task is to decide and define the

objectives of the research i.e., the reason why the research study should be

conducted. A research study may have many objectives, but all these objectives

revolve around one major objective, which is the focus of the study. In this

objective, the prime objective is to identify the opportunities and challenges of

the marketing through social networking sites.

In order to pursue the afore-mentioned prime objective, some allied objectives

have also been identified which are as follows: -

 To examine the remote working model of Business Process Outsourcing Industry.

 To determine the satisfaction level among the employees.

 To analyze the quality of work the employees can able to provide.

 To analyze the work life balance between family and profession.

1.2 LITERATURE REVIEW:

Jack Nilles in his book titled “The Telecommunications-Transportation Tradeoff: Options for

Tomorrow” proposed the term Telecommuting that telecommuting. Teleworking has been proven to be

an effective and valued part of hybrid working solutions since the 1970s. This could be used to cut down

unwanted transportation. The idea was to reduce vehicle traffic as well as the use of nonrenewable

energy.

Although the term ‘remote working model’ is commonly used these days, it was usually referred to as

telecommuting back in the 1970s. Here, (Nilles, 1976)

Hazel Buttler in her article titled “The History of Remote Work: How It Became What We Know

Today” stated that most people probably think that remote working is a relatively new trend and didn’t

exist before. And a lot of professionals think that only the pandemic has caused this trend to rise. Well,

not quite. Remote working is actually very old. This article helps to understand the evolution of the

remote working model. Here, (Buttler,2022)

Leo in his article titled “The Past, Present, and Future of Remote Working” stated that A survey by PwC

shows some reasons why remote working is prevalent today is Flexibility: A survey by PwC showed that

64% of millennials would like to work from home sometimes, and 66% want flexible work hours. It’s

clear that the modern workforce wants flexibility in their professional lives.

Online consulting platforms: The advent of online consulting platforms have made it easier for

companies and freelance consultants to connect. The ease of finding high-paying freelance consulting

gigs has made many consultants leave the corporate world and go freelance.

Technology: Unlike the 1970s, when the internet was still in its preliminary stage, this is the era in which

even a 10-year-old may know how to set-up a Wi-Fi connection. Cloud computing and video

conferencing have taken remote working to a whole new level. Now, businesses can hire consultants

who live in a different time zone and both parties can even work simultaneously. The positive aspects of

remote working have been proven by various studies also before the spread of the COVID-19

emergency. Here, (Leo,2021)

Christoph Hilberath, Julie Kilmann, Deborah Lovich, Thalia Tzanetti, Allison Bailey,

Stefanie Beck, Elizabeth Kaufman, Bharat Khandelwal, Felix Schuler, and Kristi Woolsey in their

research paper titled “Hybrid Work Is the New Remote Work” stated that at the team level, employers

should encourage each group to create shared norms to support remote work and reduce the likelihood of

burnout and stress. Four Building Blocks to Support New Work Models for a Hybrid Future: Leadership,

culture, and purpose, Structure and roles, ways of working, systems and spaces. Here, (Hilberath,

Kilmann, Lovich, Tzanetti, Bailey, Beck, Kaufman, Khandelwal, Schuler, Woolsey(2020)

This paper examines the scope of Business process outsourcing model of working remotely which can

be known as GREEN BPO WITH LOW ATTRITION.

The contributions from this research could yield a unique approach to a remote work environment that

adds value to the BPO industry or initiate some change that could yield benefits to come

We will also conclude how the remote setup of Business process industry increase the employee’s

productivity through a survey with a sample size of 20 employees from Grow Asia Services Pvt Ltd.

This questioner consists of 12 questions through which we measure the satisfaction survey of employees

while working remotely

1.3 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research methodology is a careful investigation for inquiring in a systematic method and finding

solution of a problem. It comprises the defining and redefining of problem formulating hypothesis,

collection and evaluating data, making detection and reaching conclusion.

Descriptive research design is used in this process. There are 3 types of descriptive research design

methods- observational, case study and survey method. The descriptive method used in this project is

survey method and observations to see analyze the Remote BPO industry . A questionnaire was circulated

to collect the responses.

A sample design is a procedure or plan drawn up before any data are collected to obtain a sample from a

given. It is impossible to conduct research with entire population. The sample design was selected in

advance according to the objectives of the study.

Sample size determination is the act of choosing the number of observations or replicates to include in

a statistical sample. The sample size is an important feature of any empirical study in which the goal is

to make inferences about a population from a sample.

1.5 SOURCES OF DATA

1.6.1 Primary Source of Data

Primary data are those collected by the investigator himself for the first time and thus they are original

in character, they are collected for a particular purpose. A well-structured questionnaire was

personally administrated to the selected sample to collect the primary data.

Primary research is typically used when individuals and organizations need to gather feedback directly

from target markets instead of relying on already existing data. Primary research gives the

organization more control over the research process and results in more objective research findings.

1.6.2 Secondary Source of Data

Secondary data are those, which have already been collected by some other persons for their purpose

and published. Secondary data are usually in the shape of finished products. External Data, was

generated from magazines, research books and internet.

17
1.6 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY:

No project is without limitations and it becomes essential to figure out the various constraints that we

underwent during the study.

The following points in this direction would add to our total deliberations: -

• Lack of time is the basic limitation in the project.

• Money played a vital factor in the whole project duration.

Lack of proper information and experience due to short period of time

The data read through various sources help to understand the various aspects of remote working what are

main key factors that organization needs to keep in mind for the employees’ satisfaction and wellbeing.

To maintain the constant productivity of employees it is necessary to take care of them. Different aspects

studied through various secondary resources related to BPO industry and employees satisfaction helps in

building a questionnaire which is the crucial aspect of this study and these are the findings according to

the responses collected through the questionnaire.

1) The results showed that the employees are satisfied working remotely they see this as

a opportunity for them to be more productive and more efficient.

2) Employees are more productive while working remote as compared to brick-and-mortar.

3) It’s important to make it clear to employees that your organization understands the importance

of work-life balance. Encourage employees to follow work-life balance best practices, and offer

support and guidance if they need it. At the end of the day, an optimal work-life balance for your

employees and you will be beneficial to your organization as a whole.

6) Several benefits employees seek are ability to spend time with family, flexibility to work from

anywhere, cost saving, not have to commute, flexible work schedule etc these are the

important indicators in every employee’s life which are ignored through brick-and-mortar

approach but while working in remote model employees are able to enjoy these benefits.

7) Each and every employee agree that they have a positive place to work and all of them would like

to recommend their company to their friends, family members etc. this means that the

34
organization is constantly working for the wellbeing of employees supporting them as and when

needed, employees are valued in the organization. Managers and team leaders are supportive and

35
Chapter 4
Conclusion and Recommendations

36
4.1 Conclusion

It is well known if employees are happy and satisfied, they will work well and this will increase

Their productivity. Every employee wants to work in a healthy environment with friendly management

and coworkers, do meaningful work, and get paid well. If a business prioritizes its employees’ job

satisfaction, they can reap considerable benefits.

The empirical nature of this study is really a contribution to identify the factors that determine employee’s

satisfaction while working remotely with an organization which has a remote setup.

Majority of employees are very satisfied with the work from home and most of the respondents can able

to balance their work life balance. During work from home most of the organization also encouraging,

boosting and supporting the employee during their work from home they can able to work productively

equal to traditional method of working. The main benefit enjoyed by employee during work from home is

they are able to spend time with family.

Some of the employees are not very much satisfied but yes they are favor of recommending the

organization as a positive place to work. If the organization take care about employees understand their

needs, support then as when needed the employees are willing to work and maintain their loyalty towards

the organization and the productivity of the organization will remain positive.

So the overall results indicated that majority of the employees were satisfied with the work from home.

37
4.2 Recommendations

1) The company can motivate and encourage employees more actively the company can regular

check ins with the employees when working remotely these regular check ins will ensure

that your remote teams are on the same page regarding their work duties.

2) Personal interactions are essential part of each company culture because they make work

meaningful and enjoyable. These casual talks provide opportunities for the team members to

come to get to know each other better.

3) Most of the employees agree to they have good work life balance but still company should make

regular efforts to maintain the consistency.

4) Some of the employees are not satisfied with the quality of communication. Good and clear

communication is key to success and organization and leaders should take care each and every

information is provided to the employees regarding their work duties
