Outsourcing has been around a while & has been a major success the world over with even small businesses considering outsourcing their back-office operations to other countries. A recent cry from Americans regarding this is somehow justified in my mind. Some of them are loosing their jobs because someone else in some other developing country will do that same job for one-fifth the pay or even less.
Although some may argue that it works in taking advantage of the diversity of experience & knowledge but I am not completely sure whether it’s just taking advantage of the economic demographics. I wonder if a company would outsource if they had to pay the same wages, perhaps not, & that brings me to question the ethics in outsourcing.
It’s not just I.T. anymore; lately I have been getting offers to work for American recruiting companies but I am not too keen on working long night hours.
The topic of discussion here is whether there can be someway to nullify this effect of outsourcing. What do WE as human resource professionals think about outsourcing?
