Navigating the Legal Landscape of Outsourcing in the Philippines: A Guide for Businesses

Updated on : 10 Sep 2024

Welcome to a comprehensive guide on outsourcing, focusing on the legal intricacies of contracts and intellectual property when building teams in the Philippines.

This guide, inspired by a YouTube video that I recently recorded, is designed to help businesses navigate the complex yet rewarding world of outsourcing. The Philippines has emerged as a hotspot for global outsourcing, offering significant benefits to businesses looking to expand their teams. However, it's crucial to approach this with the right strategy to avoid potential pitfalls.

Watch the video below:



Common Mistakes in Outsourcing

Overlooking Compliance on Job Boards

One common error businesses make is using typical job boards that offer no assistance in compliance. This oversight can lead businesses into a web of legal complexities, especially concerning contracts and intellectual property rights. Non-compliance can lead to legal disputes and damage to your brand's reputation.

Opting for Traditional BPO Providers

Another mistake is turning to traditional Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) providers. While they offer a seemingly convenient route, the catch lies in the significant markup in costs. Businesses often end up paying substantially more than the actual salary received by the staff, making this option not only costly but also unfair.
