Many people have praised the booming business process outsourcing (BPO) industry in the country for its economic impact. However true this might be, the impact BPO has in the Philippines is felt more than just in terms of monetary gains, financial returns or an improving lifestyle. BPO’s influence actually extends to other areas that have not been given much attention.
Unbeknown to many, BPO has a palpable impact in the field of culture and in the promotion of local identity. The hiring of a local workforce fosters a kind of culture that makes people go, “Oh, he works for the BPO industry. I could tell.” These days, we are aware of that accent, that kind of swagger, and that way of life that are utterly and undeniably reflective of someone who works for a BPO firm. In the Philippines, it is easier to discern who works in the call center industry and who does not. Through the BPO, there is quite all of a sudden an outburst of the yuppie culture. You can see young professionals in just about every corner of the mall, sipping coffee at Starbucks or other coffee shops for that matter, while listening to a song in their iPod or surfing the net through some latest net book. Prior to the BPO boom, these scenarios were only limited to older, middle aged professionals, who worked even when they were outside of their office. These days, however, people frequenting the trendiest places in the country have become younger and younger.
The rise of the BPO in the Philippines has also made possible numerous technological innovations, making it possible to differentiate a BPO hub from one that is not. In fact, the creation of Information Technology (IT) parks can be attributed to the BPO. These IT parks are home to the most progressive offshore and homegrown call centers and outsourcing firms, which constitute about 90% of the residents, who are supported by the remaining 10% from the food and wellness industries. Thanks to the rise of BPO, the Philippines has become even more tech-savvy. Search Engine Optimization jobs have cropped up alongside call center agents, transcriptionists, data entry and outsourced back office workers, of which the primary purpose is to create more traffic for the firm’s own or the client’s website. Not to mention there are already a number of technical support campaigns presently catered to by the Philippine BPO and call center industry.
Of course, the BPO impact does not just end there. In a more moral and sociological sense, BPO is also responsible for capability-building. BPO is responsible for this newfound confidence in the economy brought about by more employment opportunities. It has honed Filipinos’ communications skills, among others, as well as allowed them to become more service-oriented. BPO has also brought a lot of economic incentives to struggling households, giving them the chance to uplift their downtrodden conditions and improve their quality of life.
In summary fashion, the impact of BPO is widespread. It may have its own setbacks, but overtime, it will learn from its own failings and polish its own people, system and image. Although instrumental in bringing about several changes in Philippine society – a new yuppie culture, techno hubs, economic incentives and increase workforce capability – the wear and tear of time will still bring more challenges to the industry, eventually molding it as it becomes better and better with each challenge.
