HR Outsourcing

Our bespoke HR outsourcing services are designed to enable compliant, effective and cost-controlled workforce management.

HR operations are under continued scrutiny to demonstrate value. Through HR outsourcing, employers are able to both manage their HR responsibilities and drive forward strategic priorities that enhance the credibility and impact of the HR function.

Benefits of HR outsourcing

Human resource management is a challenge for all employers, irrespective of the organisation’s size, location and sector.

Often, employers face a demand for more HR effort but are unable to justify employing HR personnel. For others, the need is to free up and refocus their HR function from primarily HR administration and transactional support towards strategic, proactive projects where critical value can be delivered.

HR face an imperative to lead and facilitate a culture of digitisation and digital competence, and to tackle the people impact of relentless environmental changes such as Brexit and increasingly complex workforce profiles of freelancers, part-timers and flexible workers.

For some organisations, the capacity or capability may not be internally available to drive forward such projects which demand highly technical and specialist HR expertise.

Through HR outsourcing, employers can benefit from access to additional and specialist HR specialists to support in achieving people-led objectives.

HR outsourcing considerations

It will be critical to the future success of any outsourcing arrangement to have clarity of your outsourcing objectives for the outset, which could include:

Freeing up management time to focus on core business priorities and strategic projects
Accessing HR best practice
Simplifying and standardise core processes
Cost reduction
Improving efficiency of HR systems, processes, procedures
Collation and access to enhanced HR data
Accessing HR expertise beyond internal capability
Flexibility of service provision
Reducing risk

This forms the basis of our service, which we will devise and develop giving consideration to fundamentals critical to the successful operation of an HR outsourcing partnership:

Strategic value – We advocate a partnership approach with our outsourcing clients. From the outset, we work to build an understanding of the organisation’s business strategy and people risk profile to ensure our solution is aligned to the specific needs and challenges of your organisation.
Risk management – For overstretched HR teams, ongoing compliance and proactive risk management can be challenging to address against the day-to-day HR service demands. But it is necessary. Outsourcing can ensure critical HR practices and legal obligations are being met.
Employer brand alignment – Outsourcing can offer the means to achieve authenticity to live and breathe the employer brand where the employee experience is falling short of the employer brand aspirations. For example, relying on spread sheets and paper forms does not equate to a pro-tech and innovative workplace. Outsourcing can offer solutions such as access to new HR systems, and emerging technologies in areas such as AI and digital assistants.
Service level agreement – The terms of an outsourcing relationship and service should be set out within a service level agreement. The agreement should make clear the scope of the arrangement, and the standards and expectations on both parties, as well as the consequences of failing to meet these obligations.
