                  Outsourcing 
                    is fast emerging as a means to improve overall performance 
                    by freeing top management from many routine processes for 
                    obtaining the benefit of the services offered by outfits which 
                    are specialized and hitech. It helps reduce expenses, concentrate 
                    on the core areas and outsource the rest, albeit with safeguards 
                    built in. HR processes, traditionally held to be an inviolable 
                    part of such core areas, are increasingly being outsourced 
                    to professional firms with encouraging results. It is no longer 
                    the sacred domain of inhouse specialists alone.

                    of today and this can be done by highly committed and competent 
                    workforce. The organizations must be in a position to convert 
                    their technologies and skills into competencies that empower 
                    them to accustom themselves to the ever changing external 
                    environment. This lays emphasis that HR plays a major role 
                    in maintaining a competitive advantage because an organization 
                    is recognized by its highly motivated workforce.
