HR Outsourcing :
Any activity in which a company lacks time to deal with a situation or lacks internal
expertise and confidentiality and requires an unbiased opinion is then outsourced.
HR outsourcing can be segregated into two broad categories: Transaction and
Administration outsourcing and HR Consultancy. Transactional outsourcing is more of day-
to-day or month-to-month requirements, and constitutes services like payroll and benefits.
This kind of service is more prevalent in the Indian market. In the value chain, it falls at the
lower-end compared to HR consultancy, although it happens to be an essential function. It
is a fact that companies continue to manage the strategic and policy functions of their HR
departments in-house.
HR outsourcing can happen in various areas such as payroll, employee benefits
administration, fixed assets administration, network management, receivables
management, logistics management, hardware maintenance, telemarketing, call centres
and database management. In India, the most common processes outsourced are related to
training, payroll processing, surveys, benchmark studies, and statutory compliance.
Today, very small companies (which do not have the competency to staff a full-fledged HR
department) and very large companies (who wish to outsource all routine HR processes so
that they can concentrate on core issues), are the ones that use HR outsourcing in a
significant way. Besides, many multinational companies are fast adopting these practices.
Estimates show that the latent size of HR outsourcing in India is about $2 billion with a
current market of $27 million and it is growing at a rate of about 50 per cent.
By Hemang Patel
Mapping the Current Outsourcing Scenario in Bangalore Final Report
Things are however expected to change with many mid-sized companies looking at HR
outsourcing. Research proves that the market for HR outsourcing in the Asia Pacific region
could is expected to touch $2.56 billion in 2004.
Industry experts estimate employee leasing to be $140 billion business worldwide, and it is
projected that in the near future about 2.5 to 3 percent of the workforce in the country will
be hired on a temporary basis.
HR Outsourcing – The Benefits :
Better Quality - Outsourced Vendors can provide the Organisations with superior
quality of work since they are the specialists, as this is their area of core
competency.
Professional Expertise - The Vendors provide bench marking and best practices to
the Organisations through their experience.
Reduced Cost - An Organisation can save on both transaction costs and fixed costs
by a reduction in headcount.
Risk Sharing - Vendor shares the risk with the firms especially in the case of
idiosyncratic HR activities or activities which require rapid technology changes.
Unbiased Third Party - Often internal HR managers are subject to office politics and
thus they may have biased views, in this case an outsourcing vendor can provide a
neutral advice.

is done using the “ Market Research ” Fundamentals and Concepts. This Descriptive type of
research is using Primary data collection method wherein tools like Research Questionnaire,
Mail Survey and Telephonic Interview are used.

understand and provide relevant, accurate and timely information about the current market
scenario and estimates (facts & figures) of Employee Outsourcing and related matters in the
city of Bangalore.

This data is further converted into a database, by dividing it into 6 different sectors.
b. Questionnaire Preparation :
After the preparation of the comprehensive database containing Bangalore company details
the Questionnaire was prepared as the concrete Market Research was nearing up.
By Hemang Patel
Mapping the Current Outsourcing Scenario in Bangalore Final Report
The completion of this step marks the completion of the groundwork required for the said
Market Research.
To mark the commencement of the Market Research process the step taken was of
sending a formal e-mail attached with the questionnaire to the contact sourced and
requesting for response.
All the 1325 companies were sent this e-mail along with the questionnaire on their official
e-mail addresses. Further to get better response, this e-mail was also sent to the sourced
e-mail of the Executives of each company.
It was noticed that the response to these requests has been luke warm as out of the total
mailed 1325 companies and their executives only 49 have responded till date.
With this low response the other pre-decided method of Telephonic Interview was brought
into play.
The companies that have been contacted, both by using e-mail contacts as well as
telephonic interviews are :
Sector Companies
Information Technology 710
Finance (Insurance & Banking) 80
Retail / FMCG 78
Manufacturing (inclusive of Parma) 105

Out of the total Sample of 315 companies there are 60 companies (14%) who are
doing HR Outsourcing, 45 companies (11%) who are planning to do HR Outsourcing
