We know that the “people” issues in a workplace can be some of the most difficult, complex, and sensitive challenges for business owners to deal with in their business. It can be hard at times to juggle both management and the fundamentals in dealing with employee issues, administrative work and other HR-related things that can eat away at your time.
Even when you have a good idea of how to tackle an issue, nothing can replace the value of talking it through with someone you can trust, someone who can help you understand your options and risks.
Whilst Human Resource Management is a core element of every single business, it is now even easier to handle the frustrating things like sourcing legally compliant HR contracts and policies, performance management advice, or understanding tricky Industrial Relations requirements. This can be done by giving the responsibility to a team of experts to take care of.
You may have noticed the changes in Human Resource departments over recent years, they are reducing in size as more organisations are choosing to take a new approach and outsource their Human Resource Management team. It is well documented that Human Resources is one of the most likely business functions to be outsourced; resulting in increased productivity and specialised advice at a lower cost (financial and risk) to the business.
Outsourcing HR is a great solution for small to medium businesses that need the peace of mind of having on-demand HR support. If you haven’t considered how outsourcing your HR support to a team of experts could enhance your business operations and management, read on to learn about the benefits and impact that outsourcing HR could have on your business. The Red Wagon Managed HR solution provides you with access to specialists in different facets of HR, when you need them, without compromising on expertise.
The Benefit of Using an Outsourced Managed HR Solution
- Improves your time management
When you choose to outsource your HR Management practices, you free up time to work on and not in your business.
- Compliance
With the field of human resources and people management becoming increasingly complex and bound by legislation, asking your Office Manager or Payroll person to take on HR duties attracts unnecessary risk to your business. It’s beneficial to have an expert on your side keeping up to date with these changes as it can often be confusing navigating the legal terms and working out what your business requires and what it doesn’t.
Similarly, a HR practitioner with skills in recruitment or training might not have the right knowledge or experience to understand how the law applies and implement practices to ensure you are meeting your obligations.
- Cost-effective
Having an in-house HR team can be expensive, particularly when you need specialist skills, whereas outsourcing can help reduce the costs of having a full-time team which many small to medium businesses cannot afford.
Not only will your bottom line be reduced, but you’ll have access to a team of experts at your fingertips including specialists in Workplace Relations, Industrial Relations, and Senior HR Strategists to ensure you’re compliant with employment laws and workplace requirements.
What types of HR services can be outsourced?
Human Resources is a specialist skill that requires a combination of technical knowledge, understanding of people, and commercial acumen.
