  • Manage HR Functions Successfully

    The Bank of America, Best Buy, Delta Airlines, Goodyear, IBM, the Marriott, Motorola, PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble, and Sun Microsystems are all outsourcing HR functions. US federal and state governments also spend billions each year doing so also. HR functions are not just being outsourced, they are being sent offshore.

    The question is no longer if your organization will consider outsourcing but when. If senior management has assigned you the job of developing an outsourcing plan in the USA, this book could help you:

    • identify functional candidates for outsourcing;
    • draw up a request for proposal (RFP) and a request for information (RFI);
    • assess the proposals and bidders;
    • contract for services; and
    • expand vendor management expertise.

    A CD-ROM containing additional resources not covered in the book, Outsourcing Human Resource Functions, Second Edition, includes the following information:

    • Glossary of Human Resource and Outsourcing Terms
    • Sample Request for Information (RIF)
    • Sample Overview to a Request for Proposals (RFP)
    • Sample Administrative Services Agreement
    • Sample Consulting Services Agreement
    • and much, much more!
