The ABC HR Pro Playbook: Strategies for Workplace Success

The Key Advantages of Outsourcing HR
Business Employee Support. For most businesses, employees are their largest asset as well as their largest expense. Outsourcing HR can be an efficient way to offer extra assistance to your employees. HR managers are well-versed in bridging communication between business owner/ executive leadership and contributing employees. Outsourcing HR can ensure that your employees receive much needed assistance in areas such as performance management, training and development, succession planning, and Employee Assistance Programs (EAP’s).
HR Tools and Technology. Outsourced HR providers rely heavily on their ability to utilize technology and tools to their advantage. They often provide advance options to improve efficiency, streamline processes and automate tasks. Companies that outsource their HR often get to take advantage of the tools without the overhead cost of development and maintenance.
Redirected Business Focus. Instead of spending time on HR administrative tasks, the business owner can focus on strategic growth initiatives and innovation. By outsourcing HR tasks, valuable resources and time can be redirected towards the core business activities.
Flexibility & Business Scalability. Outsourcing HR offers a wide range of flexibility and scalability to companies in times of growth, maintaining and downsizing. Outsourced HR solution providers can quickly adapt to fluctuations in workforce size. They can also quickly manager mergers, acquisitions and seasonal variation. They have the flexibility to handle additional HR support during peak periods without the expense of additional staff.
HR Expertise. HR outsourcing allows the company to tap into the expertise of HR service providers who have a deep understanding of compliance law and requirements, HR best practices, and industry specific regulations.
Compliance and Risk Mitigation. HR practice is subject to a variety of laws and regulations. These are usually assigned to topics such as employment law, health and safety regulation and data protection. Outsourcing HR is a smart move to assist with reducing the risk of potential lawsuits, litigation and legal penalties.
Save Money. Outsourcing HR activities can be cost effective for small to medium sized businesses that may not have the resources to maintain an HR manager.
