More Efficient and Cost proficient Training at the offshore site

If some think that their work is too hard and they'll never be able to move it offshore and solving this problem is difficult since you have to prove the offshore workers can do the work before onshore managers will outsource the job. There is a better solution for this problem. That is to have a few of the offshore team members come to your location and learn your work. After learning your work, they go back to their home country and train others to do it. It is a better idea and it is practical too.

But there are few problems with this step:

1. It bothered some of our best workers who were worrying that these offshore workers sitting right next to them might take their jobs at some point.

2. This method of training is expensive: Here the training is done at an onshore location and the expense is at least five times the cost of training offshore.

3. The offshore team members being trained onshore learn the bad habits as well as the good habits, since they're exposed to all employees and not just the pre-selected trainers. It is a crucial problem.

4. It takes twice as long, since you must do double training.

Solution

Choose the best people to do the training offshore. It is a very useful life experience. Another benefit is that you end up with well documented processes and training materials that work onshore and offshore. So it is much beneficial.
