The background for outsourcing may be different, but the conclusion for a business that outsources is that it is to the business' advantage; it is done to create a competitive advantage. Joining partners, who add value to the company's value chain, is increasingly important strategically. In other words, a company's value chain does not have to be exclusively within the company's walls.

Expensive personnel department
Most companies in Norway are small and medium-sized companies and many do not have their own personnel departments. The general manager of these companies has many areas of responsibility and a wide range of work tasks, which can embrace everything from sales and marketing to financial management and strategy. Capacity for HR work can thus be limited and it can be difficult to set aside time for necessary tasks. This can be anything from recruitment processes to conducting employee interviews with own employees. Nevertheless, most people agree that it is valuable and useful to invest time in both current and future employees.
