Farm out ‐ and reap a rich harvest

Abstract

Records the increasing trend toward outsourcing some of the activities of human resource departments, and presents figures from the USA; discusses the reasons why outsourcing is considered in this area, and reviews the type of services that are outsourced most frequently. Maintains that each service considered for outsourcing should be evaluated on its strategic, operational and maintenance aspects, and suggests a five‐step decision making process.
