Business Process Outsourcing News and Information

Its true that for school drop outs, college last benchers, call center is an easy industry to get a job, but not all are like that. A big percentage of joiners are graduate, they join BPO for various reasons, some to earn fast bucks, some to gain experience, some because their friends have joined and for some its the easiest way to get recruited (like neighborhood walk ins). No one really joins call center or BPO, considering it as a long term career resource.

But once they are in and been there for some time, they realize how important getting an MBA degree could be.

TOI reports A deeper realisation is sinking among the BPO executives that in the process of earning fast bucks, they are missing out on options that might lead to a better future. Better salary, regulated work hours and a secure future is what is driving most of the people employed with the BPO industry to venture out to pursue an MBA degree with specialisation in sectors like HR or Finance. A recent survey has pointed out that about one third of BPO executives in India are eager for an MBA degree.

And the latest mantra followed by BPO firms to retain quality employees are the company-financed MBA programmes being doled out. Employees can now plan their career curve while maintaining well paying, full time jobs. The urge in employees to go in for MBA programmes has compelled many BPO firms to sketch a new HR policy.
