Episode 214: Outsourcing HR: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Description
In today’s episode, Bob ‘n Joyce dive into the pitfalls that often accompany the perceived benefits of outsourcing HR services. While outsourcing can seem like a smart move, especially on paper, it often brings unintended consequences—many of them negative—despite the best intentions and solid rationale.
We’re not anti-outsourcing, but we’ve seen the chaos that can result when the process isn’t managed well. The good news? With the right approach, much of that chaos can be avoided.
Here are a few of our thoughts on making outsourcing work for you rather than against you:
• Pain points are inevitable with any major change—but a thoughtful process can minimize them.
• When the primary rationale is purely financial, that’s often a recipe for trouble.
• If the risk-reward stakes are high, start small: a pilot phase can be a powerful learning tool.
So come on in, grab a snack, and join us for a candid conversation about how to keep outsourcing from turning into an out-of-control adventure.
