Modern companies are increasingly using flexible forms of working with staff. Employee leasing and process outsourcing are two popular models that help adapt the employment structure to dynamic market conditions. Although they sound similar, they differ in organisation, scope of responsibility and form of cooperation.
Process outsourcing - how does it work?
It is the delegation of a specific process to an external company that manages it comprehensively.
The external company organises the team and is responsible for the daily work of the employees.
You do not do the supervision - the whole process lies with the outsourcing partner.
It is responsible for the quality of workmanship, timeliness and smooth execution of tasks.
No time limits - the collaboration can last as long as you need.
Employee leasing - flexibility in hiring people
This is the hiring of employees from a temporary employment agency.
The employees do the work for your company.
You supervise them, plan shifts, assign tasks.
The agency takes care of human resources, contracts, payments, Social Security.
You are responsible for health and safety, the workplace, working hours.
It's flexible support when you have a seasonal increase in production or staff shortages.
IMPORTANT: A temporary worker can be employed for a maximum of 18 months within a consecutive 36-month period at one user company!
Key differences
Summary
The choice depends on whether you want to have full control over the team or focus on the effect. Both solutions have their place - it all depends on the nature of your production.
