According to analysts Datamonitor, medium-sized businesses will lead the way in HR outsourcing deals this year.
Michel Janssen, President of outsourcing advisory firm, Everest Group commented that last year and for the first time, mid-to-large versus the large-to very large businesses dominated human resources outsourcing.
“2005 will be the year that BPO goes mainstream, and it will be driven by mid-size client organisations,” he said.
Janssen says companies with between 5,000-25,000 workers did the majority of the broad scoped HRO deals. In the past, Janssen explains, companies with more than 25,000 employees were the ones landing HR outsourcing deals.
