E-HRM and Outsourcing
The management of human resources has remarkably changed over the recent past. The tasks involved in the HR department can be carried out by not only the expert HR professionals, but also the line managers, information technologies and through outsourcing (Tremblay,Patry and Lanoie, 2008; Ulrich, 1996). E-HRM can be defined as “the (planning, implementation, and) application of information systems for both networking and supporting actors in their shared performing of HR activities” (Strohmeier, 2007). This is the use of web-based technologies in providing HRM services within employing businesses. It embraces e-recruitment and e-learning, the initial fields of the human resource management, to put into use at a large extent the web- based technology.
In the fundamental nature, e-HRM is the delegation of the HR duties to a line of managers and employees, who get reach of these tasks mainly through intranet and other web-technology channels. Empowering the managers and employees to carry out some choice HR duties alleviate the HR department of the roles. This on the other hand allows the HR staff to center less on the functional, and more on the tactical elements of HR. As a result; organizations can lower staffing levels in the HR departments since the administrative burden is blanched.
Outsourcing comes in when a company needs expertise and/or skills and lacks them from within, and then it goes beyond its borders to get them from where they are available to solve their problems. It involves a company getting into a contract with another to offer services which could be in one way or another offered in-house by employees. This is often due to the financial advantages that come along with outsourcing. the reasons that a large organisation might consider outsourcing the HR function
Human Resource Outsourcing on itself is the practice of an organization to contract a third-party organization to carry out part or all of its Human Resource
