What Is HR Outsourcing

June 6, 2022 by eBen

Managing all of the moving parts of a business is part of being a leader in the organization. However, sometimes you may not have the skills, knowledge or time to properly operate certain sections of your business. If you find that you need to dedicate your time to strategy but your work is being taken up with HR tasks, HR outsourcing may be a service that can help you. It offers a wide range of perks, whether your company is small or growing, and can provide your employees with the resources they need. Here’s what you need to know.

The Role Of HR Outsourcing

HR outsourcing is a type of fractional employment, in which your company hires an HR consultant who does not reside in-house all the time. The HR professional may visit your office regularly, conduct video calls with you to keep in touch with the current state of your business and provide vital services to employees. In this way, you can avoid the hassle of hiring and training for an HR position while simultaneously benefiting from the knowledge of someone who is experienced in their field.

The Benefits Of Outsourcing HR Tasks

When you choose to outsource your HR role, you will enjoy a wide variety of benefits, including:

  1. Concentrated HR Work
    No more spending hours of your day working on payroll and benefits; instead, you can concentrate all of your company’s HR needs onto the desk of your outsourced HR consultant, so you can focus on the projects that truly need your attention.
  2. Money-Saving Strategies
    Outsourcing your HR position is one of the simplest ways to save money. Because you are not employing someone full-time, in-house, you can cut down on the payroll needed to fund the HR position. You also avoid spending on training and onboarding procedures and can start off right away with someone who is knowledgeable and able to hit the ground running.
  3. Regulatory Guidance
    By opting for an outsourced HR professional, you benefit from a consultant’s insight into some of the more challenging aspects of the role: employment laws, regulatory compliance, taxes and more. You can trust that a reliable outsourced HR manager will have the experience necessary to guide your business in these complex areas.
  4. Potential Disadvantages—And How To Address Them

    Even though outsourcing the HR function of your business offers countless advantages, some owners are hesitant to try it due to some of the perceived disadvantages that outsourcing can bring. However, these concerns are easily addressed.

    1.Being “Out Of Touch”

    Some businesses worry that because the HR manager is not present all of the time with all of the other employees, they may be out of touch with the business’ needs and concerns, or they may not fit the company culture. The good news is that a reputable, outsourced HR manager will stay engaged, curious and active in your company’s day-to-day operations. You’ll need to play a role in this too—keeping everyone updated about important changes within the company. Choosing an HR representative who is responsive to both you and your employees is critical.

    2.Data Security

    Because an outsourced HR position does not work solely on-site at your business, you may have some concerns about the safety of any data you share with them. Be sure to vet the outsourcing firms that you are considering to ensure that they use reputable software and meet the stringent data handling requirements. When your employees share personal information, like social security numbers, or when your business sends proprietary details, you can trust that your data is protected if you rely on a reputable HR outsourcing provider.

    Trust The Consultants To Remove HR Burdens From Your Plate

    If you find yourself burdened with too many HR tasks and it’s interfering with your ability to complete your other projects on time or with the proper attention to detail, it may be time to transfer those HR duties to someone else. At eBen, we are committed to offering solutions that help businesses grow and succeed.
