Workforce Management, ADP and Accenture provide a short whitepaper on best practices for outsourcing your Human Resources in the whitepaper “Top Strategies in HR Outsourcing.” This whitepaper discusses the following strategies to reaching outsourcing success:

• Establish Why You’re There — (Why are you outsourcing?)
• Define What Constitutes Success — (How will your outsourcing be successful?)
• Count the Costs — (Know your current retained costs first)
• Be Clear About What Technology Can (and Cannot) Do — (Define your technology requirements early)
• Hire a Partner, Not Just Provider — (They should help not hinder your team)
• Carefully Distinguish the Suppliers — (Including size, culture, methodology and track record)
• Ask the Hard Questions — (Capabilities? Expertise? How Does it Deliver?…)
• Look for Domain Expertise — (Make sure they have successfully done what you need)
• Check Out the Service and Support — (Are they committed to solving your problems?)
• Make Sure Your Outsourced Solutions are Customer-Centric — (What do the end users want?)
• Build in Broad Business Outcomes — (Know long-term goals and measure them right away)
• Be Flexible and Prepared to Change — (Listen to the partner and benefit from their scale)
• Keep Your Commitments — (Build credibility and foster a collaborative environment)
• Define the Roles Clearly — (You need a well defined SOW, metrics and pricing)
• It’s Okay to Think Small — (You can outsource just by project)
• Check Out the “Seams” — (Make sure there are no gaps in your needs and the service)
• Dig Deep Into References — (Gain opinions and honest feedback)
• Take a Close Look at Vendor Stability — (This goes without saying)
• Make a Careful Decision — (Be rigorous around analysis)
• Apply Stakeholder Management — (Gain buy-in from all stakeholders)
• Avoid a “Big Bang” Approach to Implementation — (Take small steps in implementation)
• Apply Strict Disciplines of Governance — (Your project management must be disciplined with governance)
• Don’t Be Shy — (Keep lines of communications open)
