JAMAICA is now among the most sought-after destinations for major clients of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services with the local sector expecting to increase to 20,000 the number of jobs available by year end, according to Yoni Epstein, chief executive officer of ItelBPO in Montego Bay, St James. The sector, he said, currently employs 17,000 people and has been growing at just over 20 per cent over the past few years.
According to Epstein, Jamaica is more competitive than some of its counterparts for several reasons, including the fact that it is in the same time zone as the North East United States, it's an English-speaking country, the incentive package is competitive globally
, there is a large pool of skilled individuals, the attrition rate is much lower, and the devaluation of the dollar has made retail pricing competitive with places like The Philippines.
Epstein explained that the opportunity exists for Jamaica to benefit tremendously from the sector, which has provided some one million jobs in The Philippines and India, and 40,000 in the nearby Dominican Republic.
"If you look at our track record we have been growing at 21 per cent per annum in the last few years.
