Organizations need careful planning and strategy implementation to increase productivity levels and to change the beliefs, attitudes and values of employees.this is important as employees be in a better position to adapt to new technologies and future challenges. Practice in business and economic activities are ever changing. Most industries have transformed completely from manual processes to, automated and computerized technologies Revelations indicate that manufacturing industries have come up with sophisticated products that require man power with special skills Moreover, information communication technology usage and faster information flows have revolutionized way of life and the way businesses operate. The needs and demands of consumers are forcing organizations to change and restructure to ensure that they keep up with market demands. All of these factors are facilitating organizations to change in order to survive, and it is clearly evident that only the competent organizations succeed. To do that, organizations need to focus on main and core competencies while contracting noncore and repetitive functions to an external service provider who will carry out that function as one of their core activities. This outsourcing strategy can allow organizations to focus on their core competencies to increase efficiency without spending time to invest in people and technology. This production strategy facilitates the organizations to become increasingly profitable, and better be able to cater to local and international customer base. Outsourcing can be defined as an organization delegating their non-core functions to an external organization that provides a particular service, function or product. Market changes reveal that outsourcing is no longer confined to information technology () services, but has expanded to financial services, banking services, engineering services, creative services, data management services, hospitality and clinical laboratories or laboratory medicine, and human resource management (HRM) Outsourcing the Human Resource (HR) function is one of many ways to improve an organization.

This research utilizes acceptable structured methodology to study the set objectives and gain new insights into various areas.scientific methods consists of systematic observation, classification and interpretation of data to find out cause and effect relations. The type of this research is initially descriptive in nature i.e. being focused on what is happening. Then it leads to exploratory type of research design which has its primary objective of provision of insights into and comprehension of the problem situation confronting the researcher. The research process is flexible and unstructured in order to deeply explore the research problem to its grass root level. This is also qualitative research, which is carried out in unstructured methodology based on small samples that provides insights and preliminary understanding of the problem setting. Formulating the research problem to find out that after a prolonged study observation, discussion and interaction with experts, the researcher has identified HR Outsourcing has become very important phenomenon in the corporate environment.
