Introduction to organization
History :
History of outsourcing: From the 18th century to the modern
times :
The history of outsourcing has always been a fascinating subject for industry
professionals that want a deeper understanding of the practice itself.
The practice has brought on jobs and opportunities for millions of people,
carving the way to a brighter future. One of the goals of the practice has
always been focused on cutting back costs for companies, no matter how
small or big it is.
The history of outsourcing has come a long way. Let’s take a look at how
much the industry has grown since its early days and what awaits in the
future.
The early years of the history of outsourcing :
The history of outsourcing dates back to when US companies in the industrial
sector started to source out certain parts of their operations.
Outsourcing first took shape during the 18th-century Industrial Revolution,
when the new age transformed the way factories operated and sourced labor
and raw materials. American factories were no longer limited to their
geographical location.
How the history of outsourcing impacted industries in the
21st century :
Since its establishment, the practice of outsourcing impacted and affected so
many industries—and even people’s lives.
Tech industry :
One of the biggest and most prolific industries to ever adopt the practice is the
tech sector. From ideation to manufacturing, it seems like no tech company
hasn’t been touched by outsourcing.
One example of this is the history of outsourcing with Apple Inc. The tech
giant outsourced its manufacturing activities to China and its customer service
department to India.
Like Apple, tech-enabled companies and service providers are working hand
in hand to provide and offer goods and services that will make everyone’s
lives just a little bit easier.
From AI assistants to call center support, companies often rely on outsourcing
partners to get the job done.
These companies have made an impact so big that other industries rely on
them in order to get their products and services across the world. Individuals
rely on those services to make their daily lives easier and more convenient.

was MS Excel. Although I had a basic understanding of Excel, I discovered its
extensive applications for various HR tasks, such as data analysis, employee
records management, and reporting.
Throughout the internship, I also gained proficiency in a widely-used HR
software known as BambooHR. This software is integral to the company's HR
operations, streamlining processes such as recruitment, onboarding,

# Employee Retention
Employee retention is a critical aspect of Human Resource Management that

the organization. During my internship at YNOTOUTSOURCE, I had the
opportunity to observe and participate in various retention initiatives, which
provided me with insights into the importance and methods of retaining
employees.
Importance of Employee Retention
Employee retention is vital for several reasons:

expensive. Retaining existing employees helps reduce these costs
significantly.

they are familiar with the company’s processes and culture.

work environment, boosting overall employee morale.

knowledge and skills. Retaining them ensures this expertise remains
within the organization.

relationships with customers, leading to better service and higher
customer satisfaction.
Factors Affecting Employee Retention
During my internship, I learned that several factors influence employee
retention at YNOTOUTSOURCE:
Compensation and Benefits: Competitive salaries and comprehensive
benefits packages are essential in retaining employees.
Work-Life Balance: Flexible working hours and remote work options help
employees balance their personal and professional lives.
Career Development: Opportunities for growth, such as training
programs and clear career progression paths, are crucial for retaining
talent.
Recognition and Reward: Acknowledging and rewarding employees'
contributions fosters a sense of appreciation and loyalty.
Positive Work Environment: A supportive and inclusive culture, along
with effective leadership, enhances job satisfaction and retention.
Job Security: Employees are more likely to stay if they feel their jobs are
secure and the company is stable.
Strategies for Improving Employee Retention
At YNOTOUTSOURCE, several strategies are employed to enhance
employee retention:
Effective Onboarding: A comprehensive onboarding process helps new
employees integrate smoothly into the company, setting a positive tone
from the start.
Regular Feedback and Communication: Open communication and
regular feedback ensure employees feel valued and understood. This
includes conducting performance reviews and employee surveys.
Employee Engagement Initiatives: Engaging employees through team-
building activities, social events, and regular check-ins strengthens their
connection to the company.
Mentorship Programs: Pairing new or less experienced employees with
mentors provides guidance and support, enhancing their career
development and satisfaction.
Health and Wellness Programs: Offering programs that support physical
and mental health, such as fitness memberships and counseling services,
improves overall employee well-being.
Career Development Plans: Creating personalized development plans
that align with employees' career goals and the company's objectives
motivates them to stay and grow within the organization.
# Market Competitive Salary:
Market Competitive Salaries at YNOTOUTSOURCE
As the HR manager at YNOTOUTSOURCE, I am committed to ensuring that
our salary structure is competitive and fair, aligning with industry standards to
attract and retain top talent. Here are the key strategies we employ to manage
our salary system effectively:
Regular Market Research:
We conduct periodic market research to stay updated on industry salary
trends. This includes analyzing salary surveys, industry reports, and
benchmarking against our competitors to ensure our compensation packages
are competitive.
Performance-Based Increments:
At YNOTOUTSOURCE, we offer performance-based salary increments and
bonuses. This approach ensures that high performers are adequately
rewarded, motivating employees to excel in their roles.
Transparent Compensation Policies:
Transparency is a cornerstone of our compensation strategy. We maintain
clear and understandable compensation policies, ensuring that all employees
are aware of the criteria for salary increases and bonuses. This transparency
builds trust and motivates employees to meet performance expectations.
Comprehensive Benefits Packages:
In addition to competitive salaries, we provide comprehensive benefits
packages that include health insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, and
other perks. These benefits add significant value to the overall compensation
and help us attract and retain employees.
Regular Salary Reviews:
We conduct regular salary reviews to ensure that our compensation remains
competitive. Adjustments are made based on factors such as inflation rates,
changes in living costs, and shifts in the job market. This proactive approach
helps us maintain fairness and competitiveness in our salary offerings.
Employee Feedback:
We place a high value on employee feedback regarding compensation.
Through regular surveys and feedback sessions, we gather insights from our
employees to understand their expectations and make necessary
adjustments.
This feedback loop ensures that our salary system remains responsive to the
needs of our workforce.
# Decentralized Decision Making :
There shouldn’t be strict chain of command and should have decentralized
decision making. This will increase rate of response and more ideas will be
brought forward by the employees.
# Reward And Bonuses :
To motivate employees to perform at their best, YNOTOUTSOURCE should
implement a robust reward system. Financial incentives, including
performance-based bonuses and rewards, are highly effective in encouraging
employees to excel in their roles. By offering such incentives, we can ensure
that employees are recognized and rewarded for their contributions, thereby
boosting overall productivity and satisfaction.
# Upgradation of Software :
YNOTOUTSOURCE needs to update its software across all departments to
ensure optimal performance. Implementing a fast and secure operating
system along with updated system software is crucial. Currently, we have
access to only a few modules of SAP. To enhance operational efficiency, it is
essential to invest in and update to the latest SAP modules, ensuring smooth
and efficient functioning of the organization.
# Latest Inventory Control System :
To enhance efficiency, YNOTOUTSOURCE should adopt the latest inventory
management software. This will help the company avoid unnecessary
ordering and holding costs by maintaining optimal inventory levels. Utilizing
advanced inventory software can streamline operations, reduce waste, and
ensure that resources are used effectively.
Moreover, by implementing this software, YNOTOUTSOURCE can achieve
and maintain its economic order quantity (EOQ), which is critical for
minimizing total inventory costs. This strategic investment will not only
improve operational efficiency but also contribute to better financial
performance and customer satisfaction by ensuring timely availability of
resources.
# Emphasis on Corporate social responsibility :
YNOTOUTSOURCE should place a greater emphasis on Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR). By actively engaging in CSR initiatives, the company
can contribute to the welfare and betterment of society. These efforts could
include community outreach programs, environmental sustainability projects,
and social welfare initiatives. Such involvement not only benefits the
community but also fosters a positive relationship between the company and
the public.
Focusing on CSR will ultimately enhance YNOTOUTSOURCE's image and
reputation. Demonstrating a commitment to social responsibility can build trust
and loyalty among customers and stakeholders. This positive perception can
lead to increased brand value, customer retention, and a stronger market
position. By integrating CSR into its core strategy, YNOTOUTSOURCE can
create a sustainable and socially responsible business model that benefits
both the company and society.
# Job rotation :
Job Rotation to Combat Employee Boredom
Employees at YNOTOUTSOURCE often find themselves confined to a single
role, leading to job boredom and decreased motivation. To address this issue,
implementing a job rotation system could be highly beneficial. By rotating
employees through different roles on a weekly basis, they can acquire a
diverse set of skills and experiences. This not only keeps the work
environment dynamic and engaging but also helps in the professional
development of the employees.
Job rotation can also provide significant advantages to YNOTOUTSOURCE.
When employees are skilled in multiple areas, the company becomes more
resilient in managing workforce absences. If an employee is unavailable,
others who have been cross-trained can step in seamlessly, ensuring that
operations continue smoothly without any disruptions. This flexibility enhances
overall productivity and efficiency.
Moreover, job rotation fosters a collaborative work culture. Employees gain a
better understanding of different roles and responsibilities, which can lead to
improved communication and teamwork. By investing in a job rotation system,
YNOTOUTSOURCE can boost employee satisfaction, reduce turnover rates,
and ultimately, achieve a more versatile and capable workforce.

Interpretation of Results :
Liquidity Ratios:
Current Ratio: The current ratio increased from 1.5 in 2022 to 1.8 in 2023,
indicating an improvement in YNOTOUTSOURCE's ability to cover short-
term
liabilities with its current assets. This suggests better liquidity management
and a stronger financial position.
Quick Ratio: The quick ratio also showed a positive trend, rising from 1.2
to 1.5, which indicates enhanced liquidity by excluding inventory from
current assets, showing the company's ability to meet short-term
obligations more effectively.
Profitability Ratios:
Net Profit Margin: The net profit margin improved from 10% in 2022 to
12% in 2023, reflecting increased profitability and effective cost control
measures. This indicates the company is earning more profit per dollar of
revenue.
Return on Assets (ROA): ROA increased from 8% to 9%, showing that
YNOTOUTSOURCE is using its assets more efficiently to generate profit.
Return on Equity (ROE): ROE increased from 15% to 17%, suggesting
that the company is providing higher returns to its shareholders, indicating
strong financial performance and effective use of equity financing.
Efficiency Ratios:
Inventory Turnover: A decrease in inventory turnover from 5.0 to 4.5
suggests that YNOTOUTSOURCE may be holding onto inventory longer
than before, which could lead to higher holding costs and potential
obsolescence risks.
Accounts Receivable Turnover: An increase from 7.0 to 8.0 indicates
more efficient credit and collection processes, suggesting that the
company is collecting its receivables faster, improving cash flow.
Solvency Ratios:
Debt-to-Equity Ratio: A slight decrease from 0.8 to 0.7 suggests a lower
reliance on debt financing, which indicates a stronger equity base and
lower financial risk.
Interest Coverage Ratio: Improved from 4.0 to 5.0, indicating a better
capacity to cover interest expenses with earnings before interest and
taxes (EBIT), suggesting improved financial stability and reduced risk of
default on interest payments.
6. Analysis/Interpretation of Financial Ratios :
Current Ratio :
Current Ratio is a financial metric used to evaluate a company's ability to pay
its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets. It is calculated by dividing
current assets by current liabilities. A higher current ratio indicates that the
company has a greater ability to meet its short-term obligations. Typically, a
current ratio above 1.0 is considered acceptable, as it suggests that the
company has more current assets than current liabilities. However, an
excessively high ratio might indicate inefficiency in using assets, while a very
low ratio could signal potential liquidity problems.
Debt-to-Equity Ratio
The Debt-to-Equity Ratio measures the extent to which a company is
financing its operations through debt versus wholly-owned funds. It is
calculated by dividing total liabilities by shareholders' equity. This ratio
provides insight into the financial leverage of a company. A higher ratio
indicates that the company is more leveraged, meaning it relies more on
borrowed funds, which could increase financial risk. Conversely, a lower debt-
to-equity ratio implies that the company is less reliant on debt, potentially
indicating a more stable financial structure. However, the optimal ratio varies
by industry, as some sectors typically operate with higher leverage.
Return on Equity (ROE)
Return on Equity (ROE) is a measure of financial performance calculated by
dividing net income by shareholders' equity. ROE represents the profitability
of a company in generating profits from its equity investments. A higher ROE
indicates that the company is more efficient at generating profits relative to the
equity financing. It is a key indicator for investors to assess how well the
company is using their investments to grow earnings. However, an
exceptionally high ROE could also indicate excessive leverage or high risk.
Net Profit Margin
The Net Profit Margin is a profitability ratio calculated by dividing net income
by revenue. It shows the percentage of revenue that translates into profit after
all expenses have been deducted. A higher net profit margin indicates that the
company is more efficient at converting revenue into actual profit. This ratio
helps stakeholders understand the overall profitability of the company. A
higher net profit margin suggests better control over costs and expenses,
while a lower margin could indicate issues with cost management or pricing
strategy.

the intricacies of Human Resource Management. Throughout the duration of

From the very first day, I was welcomed into a dynamic and supportive work
environment where the emphasis was on learning and development. The
comprehensive orientation program provided me with an overview of the
company’s mission, vision, and values, setting the stage for a meaningful
internship experience. The initial weeks involved getting acquainted with the

maximize their benefits.

Strengthening community ties through robust CSR initiatives can greatly
enhance YNOTOUTSOURCE’s reputation and public image. By actively
participating in community development programs, supporting local charities,

organization.
