BPAP lowers employment growth target

The Business Process Association of the Philippines (BPAP) has said that it will lower its employment target in favor of higher revenues. Having originally targeted an outsourcing employment count of 900,000 for 2011, BPAP has lowered it to 620,000 – diverting focus to its export revenue target of $12 billion, Malaya reported.

Insights into BPAP's 2011 outsourcing industry roadmap were made by BPAP president, Oscar Sanez, during the recent launch of the association's National Competency Test (BNCT).

"Employment is the secondary objective. The main objective is export revenues," Sanez said.

Sanez explained that the industry met its $7.2 billion revenue target last year despite generating only 436,000 workers – well below the 600,000 jobs they deemed was necessary for reaching the revenue target. The $12 billion revenue goal for 2011 was originally marked for 2010 but suffered a setback due to the global financial crisis. Last year's outsourcing revenues registered a 20% growth from the previous year.
