Outsourced Workers Will Get New Minimum Wage -HuCaPAN
Human Capital Providers Association of Nigeria (HuCaPAN), says its members will pay the new minimum wage of N30,000 and emphasised the need for a decent work environment in the country.
Journalists gathered that HuCaPAN is the umbrella body of registered and licenced providers of outsourced personnel in the country.
HuCaPAN’s President, Mr Aderemi Adegboyega, made the comment while fielding questions from journalists yesterday, during the association’s 8th Annual General Meeting in Lagos.
According to Adegboyega, only a decent job can bring out the best in the workplace, hence the reason for the adherence to the dictates of the code of conduct by members of HuCaPAN.
He added that the recent review of the minimum wage was a welcome development, and expressed hope that the implementation would not cause a disruption of industrial harmony.
The president noted that the realities of the global market business strategy were that jobs, goods and finance move more freely across the country’s borders; to where they could yield optimal returns on investment.
“That is why we believe that outsourcing businesses would further support the Nigerian economy by providing needed support services for local and foreign businesses.
“Countries like India, Mauritius, Philippines and Ghana have taken advantage of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) to support their economies,”Adegboyega said.
