Human

Dilip Dasgupta
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.
