Outsource Fiji and its role in Fiji’s outsourcing industry

Outsource Fiji and its role in Fiji’s outsourcing industry

Once primarily known only for its picturesque beaches and tourist destinations, the small island nation of Fiji has undergone an economic transformation for the better.

Following the initial economic devastation of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Fijian government realized the importance of having another industry to rely on aside from its tourism sector.

This sector turned out to be the outsourcing industry, with Outsource Fiji at its helm.

Since its inception, Outsource Fiji has deftly guided the country’s outsourcing industry and helped it reach its present booming state. It has also quickly become the most preferred outsourcing destination by other countries.

Fiji’s outsourcing sector has an inherent service culture. As such, the council made it its mission to future-proof the country’s economy by creating a sustainable outsourcing sector.

Outsource Fiji: How it started

Outsource Fiji, also known as the Fiji Business Process Outsourcing Council (BPOC) or Fiji outsourcing, is Fiji’s official outsourcing industry body.

The organization was established in 2017 following the deliberation of the country’s stakeholders.

Despite being headed by the country’s private sector, BPOC enjoys tremendous amounts of support from the Fijian government.

In particular, the Ministry of Commerce, Trade, Tourism, and Transport, the Investment Fiji organization, and the Fiji Commerce and Employers Federation strongly support BPOC’s initiatives.

As mentioned earlier, the Council’s leadership is entrusted to the private sector. Similarly, its founding members are also private businesses and organizations.

These private entities include Centrecom, DHL, the Lyndhurst Group of Companies, Greymouse, Vodafone Fiji Limited, Telecom Fiji Limited, BSP Life, Recoveries Corporation Pty Ltd, and ANZ Pacific Operations.

Outsource Fiji is presently headed by its executive director, Sagufta Janif, who was recently interviewed in an episode of the Outsource Accelerator Podcast.

Incidentally, Sagufta’s podcast interview also centered around Fiji’s outsourcing industry and Outsource Fiji’s role in it.
