Although not usually conceived in such a manner, for all practical and legal purposes, the provision of human resources is virtually identical in nature, setup, functioning and finalities as temporary staffing. Human resources provision is often believed to be nothing more than outsourcing, meaning in very broad terms, the exporting of some or all payroll administration to a specialist thirdparty organization. However, this oversimplification limits the scope and conceptual understanding of human resources provision and conceals its enormous potential as a vehicle to balance the supply and demand of manpower between two or more work organisations located in different countries within the EU or EEE or even beyond.
