Why HR consulting/outsourcing?
Human resources outsourcing helps small companies that are in need of a HR professional on a part-time basis, relieving an overwhelmed owner or office manager of tasks surrounding recruitment, HR, benefits, etc.
HR work can consume over 30% of a small business owners time, with upwards of 15-25% of that time being dedicated to employee paperwork.
Do small businesses need compliance?
No matter the size of your business, there are certain federal and state regulations that apply to your company. If your company has less than 15 employees, there are more than 15 federal regulations, and the number increases as you add employees. These regulations and their interpretation change constantly.
​
Your company will benefit by having an experienced HR professional on your side, allowing you to reduce the risks of violations and lawsuits.
When do I need HR services?
To grow your business, you need more people. Managing your team takes time and if that team isn't managed well, you will lose people. When you must replace those team members, you will be out more time and money. On top of that, the rules are always changing.
HR consulting allows you to:
Stay focused on the core mission of your business
Receive a custom-tailored solution for your needs
Receive advice from knowledgeable, skilled HR professionals
Obtain guidance on tough issues
Meet the goals of your growing company in a timely manner
Only pay for the services you use
Is HR consulting expensive?
Hiring a HR professional with experience as a full-time employee can be more expensive than hiring a consultant.
According to BusinessWeek online, a business can save up to 30% by engaging an independent contractor/consultant because they avoid paying payroll taxes, unemployment insurance, workers' compensation, as well as benefits.
With a human resources consultant, you simply pay for the expertise when you need it.
