Employees of an outsourcing organisation frequently see outsourcing projects as a negative change. This often results in a poor working atmosphere. The outsourcing customer's employees may fear, for example, that their tasks will change to their disadvantage or that internal jobs will be cut as a result of the outsourcing. If employees have a negative attitude towards an outsourcing project, they may unintentionally or wilfully neglect security safeguards, boycott the project, or even commit acts of revenge. In addition, this could prompt those with specific expertise (such as the head of IT or the IT Operation Department) to give notice during the introduction phase so that the outsourcing project cannot be implemented as planned.
