Outsourcing means other smaller companies will be tapped to do certain jobs for the company while hiring temporary or casual employees means that there will be a contract that will state just how many months an employee will be working in the company.

By doing these two strategies, the company will minimize the costs for providing benefits (such as medical benefits, insurance, retirement benefits, etc.) to the employees. These are beneficial for the employer or the company but a big challenge for the employees. Because of this, workers will not be assured about their medical expenses when needed. More so, because of such company strategies, employees will always be in the look out to looking or the next possible employers for they know that their time with the present company is limited. This of course brings stress and worry for the workers. Instead of enjoying the perks of the work they have, they will feel stressed out in thinking that they do not have the needed security inside the company they are presently working.
Incompetent colleagues also add to the stress related to work. In today's time, competition is the key to succeed. The overall output of the company is the reflection of how good the workers are. Hence, if some of the employees are not skilled or competent enough those who are highly skilled will be forced to take into action thereby increasing the level of stress.

Companies and/or employers will always seek for better income. To do so, they are initiating some strategies to enhance the level of output and the level of earnings of the company while putting the employees or the workers at stake.
