The owners of businesses that don't have their own human resources departments may spend as much as one-quarter of their time dealing with HR paperwork, according to Young HR Manager.
For many company owners, cost concerns or the size of their business are obstacles to forming an HR department. Outsourcing allows companies to transfer responsibilities such as payroll services and benefits administration to an outside entity that specializes in HR support. This takes the onus of keeping up with these kinds of responsibilities off the business owner without the need to hire internal personnel, which can get costly.
Human resources outsourcers (HROs) can also be beneficial in other ways. Because they specialize in HR, they can use their industry knowledge to secure the best health benefits, retirement plans and other perks for workers, while also acting as a support resource.
"An HRO can also offer high-end services, such as employee support desks and self-service systems, that large companies typically use to enhance efficiency and productivity as well as lower costs … (providing) sophisticated services that you thought were unaffordable," notes HR World.
