Design/methodology/approach

Refers in particular to Jaypee Infratech’s outsourcing the employment of toll staff on its Yamuna express-way to HR-services company TeamLease.

Practical implications

Social implications

Considers, briefly, some of the social and legal implications of HR outsourcing.

Originality/value

Illustrates how some of the potential pitfalls of HR outsourcing can be overcome – or at least some of the risks alleviated.
