Abstract

The research project was undertaken by considering Sony Sugar Company in Migori County in current standard of HRO. Data was collected from a senior manager HRO and was analyzed using content analysis. To achieve the research objective, Primary data was used. The data was collected using questionnaire. The paper focused on HR Outsourcing and the factors which should be considered before a company goes for outsourcing of Human Resource functions. A review of available literature was done in order to understand how today’s HR firms offer a wide range of services to companies that need to focus on their core-business activities and still established and maintained good HR policies and to explore the factors that influenced the HR decisions. The findings implicitly pointed out that the decision of HR outsourcing is contingent upon factors like flexibility, competency and cost saving, among others. The study established that HR Outsourcing improves company focus because whenever new products are developed, new market segment would be explored. It was also revealed that operating cost would be reduced by outsourcing non-core operations function areas. The study explains that organization would only outsource when suppliers demonstrate superior capabilities that would provide the content expert resource that supports the requirement effectively and efficiently. The research findings have proved that several factors are considered by management before undertaking HR Outsourcing. Further, this research has confirmed studies carried out by Mihir, Singh and Gupta (2009) on the increase of HRO in organizations. From the findings it is evident that Sony Sugar Company practice HR Outsourcing and there are eight factors that influence HRO to a very great extent, six factors influence to a great extent and two factors influence to a moderate extent and all of which are geared to profit making. However, the studies recommend the development of HRO policy framework for Sony Sugar Company that is competitive and comparable with other organizations.
