"Out of Site: An Inside Look at HR Outsourcing" New IHRIM Book Seperates Hype from Reality

The objective of IHRIM's new book on HR outsourcing is to provide a comprehensive, insider's view of HR outsourcing -- what's involved in designing and deploying an outsourcing strategy for your organization.

Burlington, MA (HRmarketer/PRWEB ) July 16, 2004 -- IHRIM Press, the publishing division of the International Association for Human Resource Information Management has released a new book, "Out of Site: An Inside Look at HR Outsourcing." This definitive guide to HR outsourcing is edited by Karen V. Beaman, division vice president of ADP, and includes chapters written by well-known, highly-experienced authors working in the HR and HR technology space domestically and globally.

Commenting on the new book, IHRIM president and CEO Lynne Mealy said, Theres been a lot of hype around HR outsourcing and IHRIM is pleased to be able to provide this new book, which takes a hard look at the pros and cons. I think readers may find that the real payoff is not reducing costs, but improving quality."

According to editor Karen V. Beaman, The goal was to provide a comprehensive, inside view of HR outsourcing -- from designing a strategic vision, developing a business plan, and redesigning the organization to deploying new business processes, transitioning to a new delivery model, and managing people and change. We were fortunate to have the editorial contributions to help us realize that goal."

HR outsourcing, not unlike any outsourcing, is a business strategy. And like most business strategies, one size does not fit all. In fact, as described in "Out of Site," HR outsourcing may not fit your companys culture at all. The book provides balanced perspectives and helps the HR professional separate the outsourcing hype from reality. Beaman added, With all the focus on doing more with less, its no wonder theres such attention to HR outsourcing. But the important question is can the organization realize savings and maintain or increase business performance?"

The book is available online at http://www.ihrim.org/pubonline/books.asp. In North America, call 1-800-946-6363 x115. Outside North America, please call +1-512-453-6363 x115. While they last, IHRIM will include a 25th Anniversary Commemorative Bookmark with each purchase.
