Business boom creates significant strain on region's manpower supply
Dulsco, the region's human resource outsourcing company, has recently announced that it is set to embark on an extensive expansion program in 2008 to meet the increasing demand for human resource (HR) outsourcing solutions in the Middle East. The strong demand has been greatly influenced by the region's unprecedented economic boom.
"The talent issue has largely affected HR outsourcing's phenomenal growth in the Middle East. With the influx of exciting business opportunities all over the region, firms from practically all industries have been scrambling to employ the most component people who can help them realise their full economic potential. Unfortunately, many do not have the resources, experience and connections to recruit the most appropriate personnel," said Prakash Chugani, Manager, Human Resources Outsourcing, Dulsco.
"This has created an excellent opportunity for Dulsco to provide organisations with professional HR support that will optimise their recruitment initiatives and help them resolve all their HR requirements and staffing needs. From rank-and-file to high-level management positions, Dulsco delivers packaged solutions that have helped maintain the competitive edge of clients across a wide spectrum of industries," added Chugani.
A number of strategic and economic advantages have boosted the popularity of outsourced HR solutions in the Middle East. One key feature is its ability to help improve margins and gain greater financial control, particularly among organisations that require professional HR support but have difficulty dealing with the enormous upfront costs required to develop a comprehensive internal HR division.
Moreover, companies are able to optimise efficiency by outsourcing purely administrative functions and allowing their internal HR staff to focus on strategic management and other core business operations. HR outsourcing also helps avoid unnecessary risks as outsourcing providers such as Dulsco are generally much better equipped at handling risk management.
"The Middle East is a very dynamic and competitive business environment in which organisations must take advantage of every growth opportunity available. Outsourcing is an excellent way of freeing new capital to expand into high-growth areas, while it also provides greater flexibility for the internal workforce to focus on new business interests. Moreover, Dulsco offers flexible contracts that allow clients to customise the delivery of services according to their specific needs and required length of term," said Chugani.
Dulsco offers an entire range of HR solutions for any office environment, including finance and administration staff, front and back office support staff, counter sales, call centre agents, data entry operators, IT professionals and oil and gas staff. Clients may choose from different contract options, which include long-term, short-term and temporary staffing.
Dulsco, which has been leader in the business for over seven decades, caters to blue-collar and white-collar manpower requirements in all management levels, including senior corporate positions. The company has also developed the Jobs portal to provide a ready database for any personnel requirement. A key feature of Dulsco is that it takes care of practically all paperwork and other requirements leading to outsourcing employees.
