Does outsourcing make sense?

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

I don’t feel outsourcing in HR is right….. The employers are the best people who know what are the immediate and longterm requirement of their employees. PEO’s (professional employer organization) can only provide insurances to the employees. Other things like loans, proper working enviornment, housing etc. can’t be provided by PEO’s……….. On the other hand PEOs aren’t for everyone. They’re expensive: Fees run from 1% to 4% of payroll, and there’s often a setup fee, usually $1,500 or more. (That doesn’t include insurance premiums, which the PEO collects and forwards to the insurance carrier.) And the benefits PEOs offer aren’t equally important to all companies. The employers should ensure proper resources to their employees.

Companies or managers should provide a good environment for innovations

Innovation can come from anywhere. Companies or managers should also provide a good environment for their geniuses to innovate.I basically mean more than a workouts. Google is an example it spends heavily on human resource provides a friendly working environment. thats why its a leader. Countless innovations have come from them.

Though growing rapidly, Google still maintains a small company feel. At the Googleplex headquarters almost everyone eats in the Google café. Google’s emphasis on innovation and commitment to cost containment means each employee is a hands-on contributor. Its upto manager to empower their employees to innovate.
