A Outsourcing is the hiring that a company makes of another company, so that the latter performs part of the services for which the former has been hired directly. To fix the gas leak, the company has subcontracted to another company that will be in charge of cutting and lifting the asphalt to discover and correct the place of the gas leak..
This mode of subcontracting generally occurs in the case that it is necessary to resort to specialized hands in some matter, then, the most usual thing is that only personnel are hired, in which case, the resources (facilities, hardware, software), will be provided by the client, or failing that, in addition to hiring staff, resources are also hired. For example, a company that is dedicated to the realization of demolitions, may hire a company that is responsible only for the collection of the typical waste produced by a demolition.
In some way, outsourcing supposes the improvement of a service x so that it, at an international or internal level, can be widely competitive.
Meanwhile, like all politics, in this case of decisions, the decision to outsource a company usually generates both voices for and against.
Those who proclaim against speak of the lack of loyalty that would exist among subcontracted employees since they are not employees of the company that ultimately provides the service; Another against is the proliferation of work contracts, which inevitably make working conditions precarious. And finally, that it is usually the cause of job cuts.
And with respect to the voices absolutely in favor of outsourcing, they generally rely on the reduction of costs and capital that it supposes, the use of the most competitive practices and the continuous improvement of them.
