  • Top HR Trends: Regulation and Enforcement Practice

    During 2012 there were a number of changes in the sphere of HR from the employment law standpoint. Among the upheaval, some key trends became evident in HR-related regulation and law-enforcement practice. First thing that we would note is the rising attention to detail among employers. In previous years companies devoted much time to massive restructuring and downsizing projects, meaning that they had little time for current issues. Now businesses are spending more time on bringing their internal policies and HR paperwork into line with the laws and best practice. In this way, they avoid problems with their employees rather than closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.

  • OUTSOURCING IN RUSSIA: ADVANTAGES AND RISKS

    The word outsourcing has become a staple of Russian business language, but is still not encountered in Russian law. Generally, outsourcing contrasts with the leasing of personnel in that outsourcing involves certain business processes being contracted out to an external service provider. Outsourcing is typically used to transfer processes that are vital for the company’s activity but are of an auxiliary nature to its core activities: for example, IT, HR processes and payroll.
