UK corporates lead the way in offshoring, says survey

If corporate competitiveness is defined by a willingness to offshore jobs then a recent survey suggests UK corporates are leading the way by planning to move 3% of its jobs offshore over the next ten years.

Europe as a whole will lose up to 1.2 million jobs to offshore locations by 2015. Contributing to the trend are those corporates willing to look beyond Europe’s border for efficiency, notably in shared service locations for centralised treasury operations, or in call centres.
