Healthcare is an industry which involves multifarious activities, and as such increasingly healthcare companies are outsourcing the peripheral business aspect. Here, let us look at some of the outsourcing tips for small sized businesses. All medium and small businesses are faced with lack of full time resources but despite of the cost constraints, a business does require expertise for an efficient running of the business. Expertise is necessary to build a successful business and grow it to reach heights and expand it further. It has been observed that in businesses, Human Resource and people management are classic examples of outsourcing of functions which require specialist intervention and can be costly.

Top Management /Board: The business owners and CEOs are occupied with formulating strategic business decisions and policies. Their attention is focussed at penetrating the market and expanding the personalised care service business across regions, and verticals. The primary goal of the owners is to build a team which can help them achieve the business and the growth targets. Therefore, it is in their best interest to consult the right recruitment experts who can support them in recruiting a highly efficient team.

Core competencies: Businesses need to concentrate on their core business and leave out the peripheral tasks like HR functions to outsourcing contractors. For example tasks like, recruitment, payroll, benefits, and other HR policies can be drafted by an external contractor with input from the core team. This allows the management to work and concentrate on the essential business operations.

Cutting costs: Maintaining a specialised HR department, which can cater to the diverse HR functions and needs in an environment like a hospital can be cumbersome and costly. In such cases, the organisation can outsource some of the functions, which can keep the manpower and the cost of running a full fledged department at a minimum.

Complicated HR functionalities: Human Resource functions involve lots of complexities and legalities. There are local and national human resources governmental policies and rules which need to be adhered to, in order to sustain. These complex employment laws can be difficult to handle for the company owner. However, if the HR function is contracted out to experts who have entire teams with specialized workforce, it can relieve the owner of this concern area.

Specialist access: Human Resource functions are sense and diversified the operational aspects of the HR department range from reward to psychometric profiling, leadership and management, recruitment and much more. With an outsourced function, the business owner gets access to specialised personnel, whose core competency is in these functions. Due to this the business owner does not have to spend a fortune in obtaining specialist consultants employment.

Thus, it can be safely inferred that outsourcing of the HR function is a beneficial idea for small sized clinical and hospital set ups. There are two main underpinning reasons for it. Firstly, hospitals is service industry which also deals extensively in products and the diversity in functions in such a set up warrants a specialised intervention in HR role for smooth operations. But a specialized department can be costly for a midsized business, therefore, the outsourcing can help actually in cutting costs as regard HR functions. Also the core function of a hospital is patient care and HR as a peripheral function can be considered for outsourcing.
