What Is Staff Augmentation?
Touchstone BPO’s primary purpose is to optimize businesses and decrease costs by 60%. One of the main ways we can create a cost-effective situation for the business is by Staff Augmentation.
Staffing challenges have long plagued businesses but have decreased recently. Finding, hiring, onboarding, training, and retaining talent are vital yet time-consuming processes, especially during talent shortages and skills gaps.
Staff augmentation provides access to highly trained talent needed to advance the business. This article explores staff augmentation's importance and how it differs from solutions like temp staffing.
We have created a summary of what Staff Augmentation means and what it can do for your business.
What Does Staff Augmentation Mean?
Staff augmentation is the practice of supplementing in-house staff with talent from a third-party provider. Organizations partner with staffing firms to fill key positions without hiring full-time employees.
Instead, the augmentation partner supplies consultants with the necessary education, training, experience, and certifications. This differs significantly from business process outsourcing, freelancers, and temporary agencies in several key aspects.
Staff Augmentation vs. Business Process Outsourcing
Staff augmentation and business process outsourcing (BPO) both involve external assistance for critical tasks, but they differ in approach. In staff augmentation, a skilled professional integrates into your in-house team without being an official employee.
In contrast, BPO involves outsourcing entire business processes to a third-party team. For example, a company may outsource payroll processing to a specialist firm, completely transferring that responsibility away from the organization.

6 个月This sounds enterprising and a cost effective approach to reducing the HR budget spent on Receuitment, selection, training and rewards etc, however, this approach in a long run disables organisations to develop in-house expertise and competencies. In today's business landscape technology, money and infrastructure is no more a competitive advantage. Technology is becoming cheaper and available at a historic record pace, financial institutions are ready to finance businesses. The only competitive advantage are the 'People' of the company.
