My Question: What impact will outsourcing HR functions have on an organizations' performance?
Your Answer:
It depends.
If the outsourcing HR firm is highly competent and professional, takes the time to learn about the organization and its culture, and is permitted high-level continuous communication with hiring authorities and department heads, outsourcing may be seamless.
If the outsourcing HR firm is asked to perform cookie-cutter HR functions that don't connect with the employer's culture, and is prevented from linking with top management and decision-makers, outsourcing is likely to be an expensive waste of time, energy, and money.
When HR is given all of the tools its professionals need to succeed -- whether in house or outsourced -- everyone benefits.
