Growing Need to Streamline Operations and Reduce Costs Drives the Global Human Resource Outsourcing (HRO) Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc

San Jose, California (PRWEB) May 14, 2012 — Follow us on LinkedIn — Human resource outsourcing (HRO) includes the integration of people management strategies, operational business services, and technology that offers potential benefits for buyers, service providers and consultants. Plagued with mounting complexity and compliance pressures of business processes, organizations are increasingly opting for outsourcing of HR functions. Growth in the market is dependent on factors such as sales and marketing capabilities, domain expertise, business risk management, breadth and depth of coverage, data compliance with regulatory specifications, and location advantage. Large multinational corporations constitute the primary clients for HRO services. However, HRO is steadily gaining prominence among smaller companies, who are exhibiting willingness to outsource HR functions, primarily due to the availability of suitable outsourcing models from service providers.

Rising demand from areas such as high-tech, financial services, manufacturing and telecom, and increased demand from the UK and Continental Europe are expected to foster growth in the HR Outsourcing services market. The sector is also witnessing increased demand from developing markets and small and medium enterprises. While India remains the offshoring stronghold, new alternate centers are emerging rapidly across Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. With uncertainty continuing to plague the global economy, companies are opting for smaller projects, whereby select projects/functions are offloaded to reduce operational burden and costs. The uncertain market environment is driving companies to adopt ‘piecemeal’ approach, wherein the impact of cost reduction would be highest in specific areas. Such an approach has slowed down the demand for comprehensive HRO services in the short run. Long-term growth would be dependent on factors such as business optimization, innovation as well as business transformation. Aging workforce in western countries and emergence of novel concepts such as Platform BPO are expected to drive a new wave of outsourcing, particularly amongst mid-market companies.
