With human resources (HR) outsourcing, the work and the jobs stay in the United States. Offshoring means that you contract for work to be done, or services provided, by workers in another country. When you outsource HR services to Doherty Employer Services or a similar provider, you hand off specialized HR functions such as employee benefits, payroll, complex management issues, as well as workers’ compensation and risk management to Doherty’s experts who are based right here, in the US. The work and the jobs stay here! The only thing HR outsourcing and offshoring have in common is that organizations utilize both methods in order to control costs, gain access to additional skills and be more competitive.
