Should we outsource our payroll and HR tasks? This is the question more and more companies and organisations ask themselves. This white paper will initially outline a number of general trends in the outsourcing of administrative tasks such as payroll and HR. It will then review the potential benefits you may gain from outsourcing and the conditions that would have to be met to realise that potential. Finally it will describe how to prepare, in cooperation with an outsourcing provider, an analysis that both shows the company’s existing procedures and outlines objectives for future operations, as well as how to draw up a viable business case for the agreed provisions.
