How Offshoring Can Improve Culture
I started leveraging offshore talent in 2016 and initially, I thought it was a great way to save money on entry-level tasks. While this assumption was correct, I quickly discovered offshore talent offers organizations a wide range of potential benefits. From increased diversity and access to specialists with unique skills to the ability to gain international experience, there are plenty of reasons why offshore talent is good for culture.
Incorporating offshore talent into an organization can bring in different perspectives. Offshore talent often has valuable insights that may be overlooked by more established and insular local teams. This can add value when it comes to problem solving, creative thinking and developing innovative solutions.
Working with offshore talent gives companies access to specialist skills that might otherwise be difficult or impossible to recruit locally. This means organizations can tap into expertise from around the world, allowing them to remain competitive on a global scale. With higher productivity and better results, organizations that successfully leverage offshore talent have the potential for greater success.

Additionally, employing offshore talent gives employees the opportunity to work in different cultures and languages, gaining valuable insights along the way. Working with people from different backgrounds helps foster collaboration and understanding within teams – something many businesses strive for but fail to achieve without outside help.
Finally, working with offshore talent allows organizations to take advantage of wage differences between countries, resulting in lower costs for certain services or processes compared to using local resources. Additionally, working with an offshore team also means increased agility when it comes to responding quickly to changes in customer demand or market needs across borders.
All in all, incorporating offshore talent into an organization’s mix of resources can open up new opportunities for growth while providing various cultural benefits at the same time. We started DOXA Talent to lift communities by creating meaningful work. Our clients embrace this type of diversity and recognize substantial benefits that are hard to ignore!
