It’s common practice for companies to use offshore employees or contractors in order to offload work to specialized individuals or reduce costs associated with certain tasks and responsibilities. This can free up staff to focus on more complex and valuable initiatives, and also ensure 24×7 operations for companies which rely upon on-call staff and subject-matter experts to address emergency situations.

The advantages to this practice go hand in hand with the need to carefully assess the conditions under which this work is farmed out, including operational aspects, security, and defining and assigning task responsibilities to ensure the best results.

The purpose of this Offshore Work Policy from TechRepublic Premium is to set guidelines for establishing offshore work teams including orientation, access and role determinations, and business considerations.

This policy can be customized as needed to fit the needs of your organization.
