Confidence amongst British business owners is at a 30 month low. Here’s how outsourcing transcription services can relieve the pressure and increase growth. No optimism for economic recovery The Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets business barometer, a national survey of business sentiment, has discovered that a large proportion of employers are hesitant about how their businesses will fair over the next six months, and are not optimistic about the economy undergoing a recovery any time soon. The survey registered confidence in the UK’s economic prospects at its lowest for more than two years. The report comes after latest GDP figures show that the UK is slipping into another recession, with manufacturing, construction and service sectors – the main drivers of economic growth – contracting. Retailers are reporting huge job losses, and full-time jobs in many sectors are scarce. Is there any hope for businesses over the next year? Outsourcing transcription services Businesses that rely on transcription can relieve some financial pressure by outsourcing transcription services instead. This doesn’t necessarily mean putting typists or secretaries out of work, but a large proportion of transcription work is cheaper and more efficiently outsourced to a transcription company. Once transcription services have been outsourced, it gives the business breathing room and the potential to increase new business by reallocating fee earners.
