Discussion:
Discuss the practice of outsourcing tasks or even whole jobs. Employers today outsource some of the major HRM functions (instead of performing the tasks in-house). For example, wage and salary administration as well as benefits administration are often outsourced. Also, Training and Development too. The same for staffing duties. If we look at other major departments in organizations, we also see outsourcing practices there as well.

• In your opinion, should there be more stringent regulations on local firms outsourcing to international vendors as compared to outsourcing to vendors located in the U.S.? Explain.
Support your answer with additional information from at least two reputable sources (library and/or web-based). Cite your sources. Bring in your own personal experiences, as applicable
