I'm delighted to welcome Derek Gallimore, an esteemed authority on the global workforce. Our discussion today will focus on a significant shift in this domain, and we'll explore the potential implications with an open mind. Get his bookInside Outsourcing: How Remote Work, Offshoring & Global Employment is Changing the World on Amazon.)    About the book:OUTSOURCING IS THE BAD BOY OF BUSINESS, blamed for poor quality, unethical salaries, inhumane conditions, and even the ruination of industrialized economies. Yet, Apple, Google, JP Morgan, and almost every Fortune 500 company outsources, and the industry is growing at breakneck speed.Hiring an offshore team can save a company 70% on its staffing costs and offer previously unimaginable access to a near-infinite pool of 2 billion highly qualified professionals. It's a game changing proposition for businesses.Globalization and technology are connecting the world's 8 billion people into one single online economy. For three decades, the outsourcing industry was a sleeping giant, generating $200 billion annually, and employing tens of millions of people, but mostly invisible to the traditional economy.Now, the giant is waking. Only recently has outsourcing become an option for small and medium-sized businesses. Previously, due to technological limitations, it was the exclusive domain of the big multinational conglomerates. Many smaller businesses have now heard of offshoring, but few really understand its full potential or how it can be applied to their company. Follow Our Other ShowsFollow UFO Witnesses)Follow Crime Watch Weekly)Follow Paranormal Fears)Follow Seven: Disturbing Chronicle Stories)Do you frequently miss episodes of Mysterious Radio?
