Labor auditing can help ensure quality and continuity of services. Auditing can also minimize liabilities and the potential for negative publicity. InternationalStaff.net’s labor auditing services can prevent problems before they occur and can signal to service providers that a client’s interests are being protected proactively. |

Labor auditing can detect and discourage: |
|||
| Unfair labor practices | It is not uncommon for call center staff to be obliged to work excessive hours, to go without breaks, or to not be paid properly. Poor working conditions and discrimination in hiring and promotion can create public relations problems for clients. Unhealthy working conditions can spread diseases such as tuberculosis |
||
| Internal turnover | Occurs when supervisors and program managers are reassigned to other programs. This leads to expensive retraining of replacements and jeopardizes the quality and continuity of outsourcing programs. |
||
| Rebrokering | Components of outsourcing programs may be surreptitiously brokered out from one outsourcing facility to another. This places data security at risk. It invites quality assurance issues and delays in work completion. Rebrokering of simple tasks such as data entry or data conversion can occur multiple times for the same project tasks. The original contractor may have no idea where the work is actually being performed. Subcontractors and their personnel are often not paid properly. |
||
| Collateral risks | Few offshore call centers operate outbound business-to-consumer sales programs in full compliance with laws in the U.S. states where calls are being made. Although enforcement efforts have been lax, any client is at risk if their outsourcing partner is breaking U.S. laws. Labor auditing can detect and discourage collateral risks.

||
| Fraud and theft | Lack of oversight at offshore facilities can contribute to fraud and other abuses against a client’s customers. Labor auditing can create early warning systems and reduce the potential for fraud and theft. |
