4. WHAT IS HUMAN RESOURCE
OUTSOURCING (HRO)?
HR Outsourcing is basically the allotment of specific HR activities to a more
specialized third party service provider.
HRO is a strategic move for your organization that frees you and your team
from non-core activities and helps you and your team to focus on the value
you generate for your customers. HRO includes all or parts of HR practices
and is tailor made fit to specific organization.

HRO Firms can:
Address all or only a few human resources tasks
Companies can choose which responsibilities to outsource and which to manage in house.
Most HRO company offers services individually so that client can pick & choose which HR
responsibility they want to outsource.

8. PEOs
PEOs are agencies that provides services under which an employer can
outsource all employee management tasks.
A hired PEO becomes a co-employer with a client company. PEO serves as the
administrative employer, while the client business acts as the on-site
employer.
PEO assumes all associated liabilities and legal responsibilities for its clients.
Since PEO is the employer-of-record, it is responsible for federal and state
taxes, as well as workers compensation.

9. BENEFITS OF HR OUTSOURCING
1. Lowered costs- lowered overhead and other labour costs by allowing HRO to
handle the paperwork and mandatory training.
2. Reduced liability- reduce company liability that comes with hiring & firing
3. Improved office performance- by setting more descriptive job qualifications
and expectations with insight from an HR team
4. Increased company efficiency by allowing employees to focus on the business
instead of payroll and paperwork.
5. It has been argued that outsourcing relationships can create partnerships
between contractors and clients that may facilitate learning and cross
fertilization between the two firms

10. DISADVANTAGES
1. Secondary costs- such as training or orientations are sometimes hidden.
2. Candidate quality- may not be up to the company standards, without clear
and continuous communication
3. Company culture- could be affected if the HR firm doesnt have a clear
understanding of your office dynamics.
4. Training time- can be more extensive through the outsourced company than it
would be in-house.

11. 5. Impact on In-house HR Professionals-
Impact on line managers
Impact on Employees Receiving HR Services
As a result, it may actually be more costly for the organization to acquire the
HR services from the external provider when all the indirect costs (both
financial and emotional)that may incur in-house are calculated. This is
especially true for large organizations in which employees are highly
professional and highly paid

14. FEEDBACK ABOUT THE COURSE

since we are required to write research papers, articles and case studies for
professional enhancement. Hence, it is important to have good academic
