American Jobs Shipped Offshore - One Company Fights Back

One small Tennessee company has dug its heels firmly in American soil and dares to challenge American corporations to think patriotic before they ship jobs offshore.

?Outsource jobs to rural America first? is the message Dennis Swartz, President of Healthcare Management Resources (HMR), gives to American executives during a recent interview.

?Rural America has a work ethic second to none, and housing employees in rural communities is a great business decision,? says Swartz of his contrarian?s view of the current practice held by many corporate Presidents of shipping jobs offshore to save a buck. Swartz calls this practice, ?short-sighted.?

HMR is a hospital business office outsourcing company that performs much of their work in a facility in rural Celina, TN, population 1700. HMR employees in this location serve client hospitals from Chicago?s largest teaching hospital to rural hospitals spread in several states.

Has HMR lost anything by not shipping jobs offshore? Jerry Carter, CEO of HMR, says no! In fact, the company boasts of increasing the monthly cash of every business office outsourcing hospital client by over 10%.

?Because our employees are located in a low-cost rural facility,? explains Carter, ?we can afford to pay good wages and attract top employees, and our hospital clients love the results.?

Swartz adds, ?with good, hardworking people plentiful in the US, why go elsewhere??

By using the existing infrastructure and highly productive employees in rural areas, Swartz explains that HMR?s cost is actually less than the offshore alternative. ?The jobs we provide create new jobs and strengthen the American economy.?

Perhaps corporate Presidents and CEOs will follow HMR?s lead and begin looking in rural America for outsourcing jobs, rather than offshore.
