    How do we communicate?

    We contact our clients through phone, email, or instant messaging using Skype. It is recommended when training staff use screen share tools, which is a great way to demonstrate changes to work tasks and procedures. We recommend that it is best to use all forms of communication with staff as sometimes an email is adequate and other times voice communication is necessary. Just be mindful that it is not a good idea to mix autonomy and isolation when dealing with staff working abroad.

    Can the staff communicate well?

    Yes, all our Staff are pre-screened to ensure they are able to communicate in the English language at a minimum level required to work with our clients. In saying this, it is important to understand that this does not mean that the contractors will understand and communicate at a level that you may experience with your locally hire staff. Due to cultural differences, people may speak English but not think English.
