A Outsourcing is the hiring that a company makes of another company, so that the latter performs part of the services for which the first has been directly contracted. To fix the gas leak, the company has subcontracted another company that will be in charge of cutting and lifting the asphalt to discover and correct the place of gas loss..
This modality of subcontracting is generally given in the case that it is necessary to resort to specialized hands in some subject, then, the most usual thing is that only the personnel is hired, in which case, the resources (facilities, hardware, software), will be provided by the client, or failing that, in addition to hiring the staff, the resources are also hired. For example, a company that is dedicated to carrying out demolitions, can hire a company that is only responsible for the collection of the typical waste produced by a demolition.
Somehow, subcontracting implies the improvement of a service x so that it, at an international or internal level, can be widely competitive.
Meanwhile, like all politics, in this case of decisions, the decision to outsource a company usually generates both voices for and against.
Those who proclaim themselves against speak of the lack of loyalty that would exist among subcontracted employees since they are not employees of the company that ultimately provides the service; Another con is the proliferation of construction contracts, which inevitably make working conditions more precarious. And finally, that the same, normally, is the cause of the suppression of jobs.
And with respect to the voices absolutely in favor of subcontracting, they generally rely on the reduction of costs and capital that it implies, the use of the most competitive practices and the continuous improvement of the same.
