However, I am concerned that senior managers want to outsource more of the HR function, including learning and development and recruitment. They want to save money, which is particularly important for us in the current climate, but it feels as if we're outsourcing too much and I'm worried we might lose control of HR-as well as our jobs-in the long term. Should I resist the outsourcing trend or go with the flow?" (Source: CIPD 2010)
