Two prominent realities your business faces today:

1. Human Resources is hub of an ever-expanding gamut of functionalities and risk

2. It’s become impossible to handle all HR facets in-house.

Human Resources as a Service (HRaaS) encompasses the value of outsourcing HR capabilities that are infeasible or overly costly for your internal staff to shoulder. This reality reflects a rapidly growing trend:•

• 80% of companies now outsource some or all of their HR activities•

• 30% of senior management’s time is spent on HR-related issues•

• Businesses outsourcing their HR services save an average of 28% on related costs, annually.

Typically, HRaaS is employed as a turnkey, overseen by a member of your management team in a Human Resources, Operations or Finance role. Your company benefits from regaining focus on your strengths to grow your business successfully, while enhancing human capital management skills of your team’s Supervisors and Managers, creating a professional work environment where you can attract and retain the best employees to accomplish your goals.

In addition to the sustainable time and cost savings, there’s also employee-associated risk mitigation, aimed to protect your organization’s reputation and assets.

At its core, HRaaS is configurable to your company-specific processes, flexible as needs continuously evolve. This is key – you want an HRaaS provider with the capacity to provide you with a team of experienced, certified HR professionals fulfilling these facets (many you’ll need now, most in the near future):
