What is HR Outsourcing?
Human Resource Outsourcing, abbreviated as HRO, is the practice of partnering with an organization or an external provider to help you virtually manage your business's HR needs. While the specific processes within any HR outsourcing arrangement tend to vary from organization to organization- some may choose to outsource all of their HR processes, while others may go for specific services such as payroll and recruitment.
What is Not HR Outsourcing?
HR outsourcing tends to be a commonly misunderstood business practice. To date, many organizations confuse it with offshoring but the reality is that HR outsourcing is quite different from offshoring.
How does HR Outsourcing work?
HR outsourcing commences with you as an international business realizing the need for delegating HR responsibilities to a partner company with the right HR acumen. This involves understanding the scope of work and services that the HR partner company can offer to your business. It then involves negotiating the terms of the partnership agreement, including the cost and timeline of services. Lastly, the outsourcing process involves monitoring the progress of the partnership and making sure that the partnership is delivering the desired results.
