How does outsourcing affect the role of human resource professionals?

Solution

Outsourcing affecs the role of HR professionals by making their deliverables more complex.

In a firm that does not outsource any tasks, all activities are conducted within the organization itself. Therefore, all employees\' performance can be judged by the same yardstick of benchmarking, and all employees are subject to the same policies, rules and regulations that can be monitored, regulated and tracked by HR professionals uniformly across the organization. But in presence of outsourcing, some contract workers are outside the scope of the organization\'s HR function and the HR team cannot directly monitor or benchmark their performance as they can do with in-house employees. This makes the performance measurement a non-uniform task that is not subject to the same rules and regulations, making the HR function two-layered and more complex.
