People
Whatever your company's human resources
requirements, there's an HR sourcing firm out there to
meet those needs. Some HR sourcing firms are
generalists, offering a wide variety of services, while
others are specialists, focusing on specific areas such as
payroll or recruiting. Depending on the size of your
business and how much control you want to maintain
over HR functions, you can either outsource all your HR
tasks or contract for services a la carte.
The basic services offered by HR sourcing firms may
include:
·Overseeing organizational structure and staffing
requirements
·Recruiting, training, and development
·Tracking department objectives, goals, and strategies
·Employee and manager training
·Benefits administration
·Employee orientation programs
The businesses view HR outsourcing as a strategic tool
that relieves them of HR responsibilities and enables
them to focus on what they do best. In addition to
allowing you to concentrate on your core business
activities, outsourcing provides some key benefits,
including:
·Providing you with skilled professionals who are focused
specifically on HR
·Helping you reduce and manage operating costs
·Improving employee relations
The sourcing business in Pakistan has come a long way;
some of the in sourcing specialists are still in their
infancy stage and are handling multiple clients at
various stages of their product/services life cycles. These
vendor companies face a lot of challenges and quality
issues operating in Pakistan with local and multinational
companies. The HR community on the other side of the
table faces compliance and capacity issues while
interacting with these vendor companies. Both these
sides face ethical issues to handle under care and laws
of corporate governance.

HR in Pakistan
Posted on 8. July 2008 by Another HR Lady
HR is progressing very fast. More and more companies are now
looking for HR Managers to manage their human assets and their
issues. More people are coming in the field. Institutes have also
emerged from no where teaching different HR courses. All is good,
for me at least. I chose the field five years back and here I am with a
Masters degree, specialization in HR and four years experience.
During this period I worked in two places and gained experience. At
both of the places HR was a new born department. I faced resistance
from old employees and from top management too. Resistance from
top management as they do not understand the true nature of HR.
Everyone has his own concept of Human Resource Management. At
one place the top management used to forward every problem to HR
whether it had a link with HR or not. Production is not up to the
mark, problem comes to HR. Security cameras not working, and
problem comes to HR. It was difficult to convince the people at the
top that these problems were out of the scope of HR. At one place
employees used to disregard HR and at first looked liked it would be
impossible to create the HR department over there. In the absence of
HR department, its responsibilities are shared by other departments.
When HR is created people feel that HR is trying to reduce their
authorities and as a result conflicts start rising. What they don’t know
is that HR will actually benefit them. They would get an organized
organizational structure with proper grading, proper pay structures,
promotion plans and employee compensation and benefits plans etc.
There is a need to increase awareness among employees in other
departments, top people, owners and directors regarding HR.
