HR Outsourcing: Frameworks, Guidelines and Tips

Outsourcing remains an important topic for many companies. Cost savings are still one of the primary motives for contemplating outsourcing, but strategic considerations are also playing an increasingly important role in decision-making processes. This is resulting in a need to form partnerships between the organizations outsourcing certain processes and the businesses providing these services. Both parties are investing in establishing solid relationships with one another. Extrapolating on this development, the HR outsourcing market is also growing and shifting from merely providing cost savings to fulfilling strategic HR objectives. More and more companies are asking themselves to what extent outsourcing HRM is relevant to them within this context. Organizations that have already outsourced their HRM processes are investigating how their outsourcing partners1 can contribute towards realizing HRM’s strategic value.
