Outsourcing

Although not usually conceived in such a manner, for all practical and legal purposes, Outsourcing (or Externalization) is very similar in nature, setup, functioning and finalities as temporary staffing. Outsourcing is often believed to be no different from temporary work, meaning in very broad terms, exporting the payroll administration and managerial functions to a specialist third-party organization. However, this oversimplification limits the scope and conceptual understanding of outsourcing, concealing its enormous potential as a vehicle to achieve goals in an effective and affordable manner.

Outsourcing (or Externalization)

Just like temporary staffing, outsourcing consists of a triangular relationship between three distinct parties and is usually applied when work organizations, for several reasons, prefer to outsource (or externalize) the management of an entire operational unit or group of activities instead of simply using temporary workers to respond to their manpower needs. In short, outsourcing is the business practice of hiring a party outside a company to perform services or create goods that were traditionally performed in-house by the company’s own employees and staff. Three parties A – Employment agency worker B – Employment agency (in the role of Employer/Contractor) C – Client (Beneficiary of the service provided)

The employment agency worker (A) is employed by the temporary work agency (B) – the contractor, who is then responsible for accomplishing objectives that were agreed to with Client (C) – beneficiary of the service provided. In this case, the legal employer (or employer of record) (B) is NOT ONLY responsible for paying salaries and all other employment related costs to the employment agency worker (A) BUT ALSO for directing, controlling, supervising his own workers in order to achieve whatever objectives were agreed to the with the Client (C) – the Beneficiary of the service being provided.
