An organization either Business or Industrial Enterprises needs many factors for its growth, further development and for its very survival. The most important factors are Capital, Materials, Machineries and Human Resources as the success or failure of any organization depends on the effective combination of these factors. Managing all other factors is comparatively easier than managing Human Resources are. The Human Resources are most important and need to be handled carefully. Since all the others factors are handled by the human resources, they have to be trained in an effective manner to utilize the resources at optimal level to get the desired output and thereby to reach the organization goals. The effective combination of all these factors results to way for success.
Training defined as learning that is provided in order to improve

performance on the present job. A person's performance is improved by showing her how to master a new or established technology. The technology may be a piece of heavy machinery, a computer, a procedure for creating a product, or a method of providing a service.

Competitive advantage is therefore depend on the knowledge and skill possessed by employee more than the finance or market structure by organization.

The employee training not only serves the purpose to develop their employers but also safe guard organizational objectives of survival and success through competitive advantages.

The training function now popularly called as Human Resource Development, coordinates the provision of training and development experiences in organization.

In recent years, the scope of Training and Development has broadened from simply providing training programs to facilitating learning throughout the organization in a wide variety of ways. There is increasing recognition that employees can and should learn continuously, and that they can learn from experience and from each other as well as from formally structured training programs. Nevertheless, formal training is still essential for most organizations or teach them how to perform in their initial assignment, to improve the current performance of employees who may not be working as effectively as desired, to

prepare employees for future promotions and increased responsibilities. The Computer Application Training and New Employee Training are most popular training topics. Various Management and supervisory skills such as leadership, performance appraisal, interviewing, and problem solving were also commonly taught. Many organization provide ‘Train-the trainer’ courses for superiors or peers who will in turn provide on-the-job training to others. Besides being one of the most important HRM functions, Training and Development is also one of the most expensive.

HR outsourcing enables businesses to concentrate on their core competencies, ultimately resulting in better productivity and results for the company.

With HR outsourcing, client companies can utilize their resources more effectively, as the human resources department is taken care of. It results in streamlined business processes.

HR outsourcing enables employees of client companies to enjoy benefits typically offered in larger companies, these being outsourced from the PEO or employee leasing organization. The comprehensive benefits package offered by PEOs increases the buying power of companies in the job market and facilitates greater retaining of employees.

The PEO consists of experts in the business and legal fields, who can positively influence the client company and help it make better decisions.

One of the most significant concerns with outsourcing human resources is the chance of misplaced loyalty. Employees outsourced might not put in the similar kind of effort as hired staff or display such an interest in your company.

This inevitably leads to the question of control. It may be difficult to control employees in certain cases of outsourcing agreements where the employee is hired on contract and doesn’t need to report to anyone within the organization.

Clients must watch out for hidden costs or unexpected changes in the services offered, and other aspects that differ from the contract they signed.

However, you can get rid of the disadvantages if you clarify all matters with the PEO such as costs, services offered, length of contract, employee loyalty, and other details before finalizing the contract. Ultimately, outsourcing human resources does work for the betterment for your organization.
