Outsourcing basically means using outside firms to take care of work that is usually performed within a company. It implies using someone outside the framework of your business or company to have work done for you.  You can outsource to a freelance worker or to another firm whose work is all about handling the particular task you want to accomplish.

Now you’re probably wondering why you would want an outsider handling tasks for your business. It actually is not an entirely odd practice. Businesses have thrived and will continue to thrive on outsourcing. Outsourcing comes with a truckload of benefits, reasons to outsource:

  1. Promotes efficiency

Seeing as most businesses have limited resources to their workers having limited time; outsourcing certain time-consuming tasks helps put your time and resources to better use. For example tasks like cleaning up the work environment or the restrooms. When you hire someone else to do the cleaning, you save yourself the time you would have spent on it and you still get to work in a neat environment.

  1. Frees up time so you can focus on other work

This is a resultant effect of the first point listed. Outsourcing tasks that have no direct effect on your productivity will make out time for you to focus on the tasks that do have an effect on your productivity. For example if you run a spa/massage resort and you use products like coconut oil you needn’t produce the coconut oil yourself even if you know how to. All you have to do is contract the production to another business that specializes in oils production. This way you have more time to focus on your primary task which is massaging.

  1. Cheaper

You’re probably thinking how outsourcing can be cheaper when it entails paying someone else to do something you could have done for free. Well, here’s how; if the task at hand is something you or your staff have no knowledge of, outsourcing it would spare you the cost of having to pay for a training to gain expertise of that task. In this case, hiring someone else who already has some knowledge of the said task becomes cheaper.
