Outsourcing has been shaping economies for decades – both of the nations that give tasks to be outsourced and the ones that receive them. Now the interesting part – it’s not just businesses that leverage outsourcing to save time, cost, and effort. Individuals constitute a big chunk of the outsourcing pie and they are actively leveraging the concept to do what seems otherwise impossible in today’s hectic world i.e. striking the perfect work-life balance. Personal outsourcing – the art of delegating non-core tasks to a personal assistant, mostly virtual is a concept that marks the future of outsourcing. Recent studies reveal that 34% of the global workforce now freelances, and thanks to a growing ‘gig-economy’ countless start-ups have emerged to tap into the potential of putting these millions to work by offloading the drudgery filled tasks of our daily lives.
