OUTSOURCE HUMAN RESOURCES
What Is Outsourcing?
When you outsource, you pay a specialized company
to manage specific responsibilities instead of paying
full-time employees to do the work. If you have hired
companies to manage payroll, accounting, computer
repair or legal work, you are already outsourcing. The
more specialized the work, the more outsourcing
becomes a prudent choice.
Is Outsourcing the Same as Using a PEO?
Not always. In our outsource model, you retain your employer relationship with your
employees, and the experts we provide remain our employees. This is not a Professional
Employment Organization [PEO], and does not lease employees.
Will I Save Money with Outsourcing?
Outsourced HR is almost always less expensive than an equivalent employee model.
When you compare costs of outsourcing with an in-house HR effort, be sure to add in
the HR manager’s salary, workers’ compensation, holiday and sick time pay,
workspace, insurance costs, payroll taxes and pension, as well as recruitment, training
and support.
Why Does Outsourcing Work for HR?
Human resource management and legal compliance have become very complicated and
require ongoing training and a high level of expertise for good results. An outsourced
company can afford to train its staff regularly and, because an outsourcer works for
many clients, it also has HR teams and best practices proven through use in other
companies
What is the Team Model?
Sometimes companies outsource HR work to an independent HR contractor, which has
the same drawbacks as having one in-house person: namely, dependency and finite
expertise. They use a team model that provides generalists and specialists for each client,
offering broader knowledge and built-in service stability
Why Does Outsourcing Help with Objectivity?
Outsourcing the HR function creates decision making that is independent of employee
factions and loyalties. It is one of the best ways to ensure confidential, fair treatment for
employees and to make decisions in the best interests of the employer
Does Outsourcing Reduce Employer Risk?
Yes. In smaller companies, it is often an office manager, if not the business owner, who
completes the HR tasks despite having little or no HR training. Sometimes, important HR
work is left undone due to lack of time or interest. This creates enormous financial and
legal risk that is eliminated through use of a competent service company
How Does HR Outsourcing Promote Growth?
HR errors, regulatory fines, disciplinary problems and legal responses drain financial
resources and management time from the business. HR outsourcing allows owners and
executives to focus on what they do best – building their businesses
