HR Outsourcing: The Secret Weapon For Today’s Business

More than ever, today’s businesses are running lean and seeking ways to mitigate their risk while increasing efficiency. In a recent survey conducted by SHRM, they identified the most common reasons why companies choose to outsource their HR:

  • Save Money – 26%
  • Focus on Business – 23%
  • Improve Compliance – 30%
  • Lack of In-house Expertise – 20%

Human resources is more than hiring and firing. Much more. With new laws being passed more and more often, compliance, concrete HR systems, and training are key components businesses of every size need. Noncompliance and lack of systems cost businesses 10’s of thousands of dollars every day.

How Outside Resources can Improve Management Compliance

Employer HR Compliance

The compliance landscape is ever changing, and will become even more challenging over time. Maintaining HR compliance is a complex, but necessary task. It involves many departments, and much coordination. Without the proper process in place, a company is potentially exposed to an array of penalties, on multiple levels.

Legal Protection Options for Employers

Many organizations are now embracing the idea of outsourcing their HR functions entirely, to minimize this risk and maximize their bottom line. That said, there are many ways to stay ahead of compliance related issues, while simultaneously gaining that competitive edge.

In an age of growing employee litigation, and compensatory awards, there are steps businesses can take to navigate this maze. Familiarize yourself with the laws and regulations pertaining to healthcare, labor and employment, retirement, injury and worker’s compensation, and unemployment.

If these laws and regulations are not followed, the risk could be substantial. Obtaining sound legal advice is a critical piece of the puzzle. Having an attorney who understands not only employment law, but also your company culture, is important.
