Background of the study:
Human Resource administration mainly deals with procedures, structures, and policies rather than the results of the organization. The primary activity of HR administration of any company is preparing policies and strategies, Recruitment of staff, Payroll management, and performance management and so on. HR activities of any company can have greater impact on success of the organization and influence the organization to make changes in strategic objectives. Individuals who are responsible to frame HR administration policy can be held for organizations success or failure.
HR administration is of no use if it not enhances the organizations operational capability and it looks non value adding department of the company which is of no benefit. So HR administration required really skilled, hardworking, intelligent people who can really make the difference to the organization in a positive context.
Now new trend in global market is outsourcing which is mainly done by the companies either to enhance the performance of one particular service and decrease the workload of the employees or to reduce the operational cost of the organizations. Most or the organizations in HR administration wants to transfer non-core activities to the specialist service provide companies .This new trend is shifting HR administration is from being tactical towards strategic.
The main reason for HR administration outsourcing is to achieve strategic advantage that is achieving more profits and getting appropriate resources to succeed in global markets. Organizations in last 8 years are mainly concentrating to reduce large capital investments on non-core HR administration operations and leave them to other outsourcing organizations. The main reason behind this is most of the organizations are losing their time and resources in maintaining and upgrading HR administration systems which eventually puts so much pressure on the organization and individuals. Transferring non-core functions to outsourcing also allows the managers to concentrate their time in strategic and core HR administration activities.
