What is HR outsourcing?

 
As our team is contacted by business owners, we frequently get asked, “What is HR outsourcing anyway?” We love to hear this question because as we explain what HR outsourcing is, we get to share ways that the callers can let go of many time-intensive tasks and really get back to focusing on growing their business. We also lower their stress level by showing them how we’ll help keep them in line with the ever changing legal HR landscape.
What is HR outsourcing? In our view, it’s the ability for your company to rely on professionals who can take care of:
 
  1. Legal and Compliance - to help avoid employee claims and to avoid fines.
  2. Employee Policy - documentation and communication to let employees understand what they need to know.
  3. Benefits program development to create an appropriate set of benefits to retain employees and be in sync with the company’s corporate culture. HR outsources usually have relationships with benefit providers and can help secure favorable rates.
  4. Recruiting, Hiring and Terminations – HR outsources know the best practices to help personnel get through these stages quickly so the company can focus on growth.
  5. Employee coaching and counseling – Some HR outsources go as far as working directly with employees to help your company and employees keep the same expectations.
  6. Payroll Processing Issues are frequently seen as an HR service. Outsourcing your payroll can help to off-load the complexities with taxes, deductions and governmental filings.
