Benefits of Outsourcing HR

How can HR Outsourcing Help My Business?

In simple terms, HR outsourcing is the contracting out of HR-related business functions to companies that specialize in performing them. By outsourcing essential HR functions, companies are able to minimize the cost and time required to perform them in-house.

For years, the most commonly outsourced HR tasks included payroll processing, time and attendance tracking, and the payment and filing of taxes. But as the definition of human resources expanded, the size and role of internal HR departments did as well. As a result, costs associated with implementing and maintaining internal HR functions increased significantly.

Fortunately businesses today have the ability to outsource some or all of their HR tasks to specialized companies, such as Gevity, at a considerable savings in cost and time. Additionally, HR outsourcing provides companies with a unique opportunity to:

• Focus their efforts on core, growth-oriented business functions.
• Transfer the time-consuming burden of handling HR and compliance issues.
• Offer employees best-in-class HR services like health benefits, retirement plans, and rewards and recognition programs at a fraction of market costs.
• Reference HR expertise and support for complex issues.

Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs) vs. Multiple Service Vendors

Although HR outsourcing clearly provides the substantial benefits indicated above and more, businesses tend to outsource HR functions individually as needed. This can seem like an appropriate approach at fist, but can lead to undue heartache in the long run. This short-term view usually results in the business having to manage multiple vendor relationships and contracts, while working with numerous points of contact with varying levels of expertise.

In contrast, PEOs like Gevity offer businesses "one-stop shopping" when it comes to outsourcing HR. Businesses can partner with one PEO company for all of their HR outsourcing needs, as part of one solution offering. This streamlined, "co-employer" relationship approach to HR outsourcing provides exponential value to businesses. By reducing the cost and time investments needed to manage increasingly complex HR-related duties, companies partnering with PEOs can focus that time and money on growing their business. Additionally, Gevity can also offer low-cost value-adding HR services to help with common challenges like recruiting top talent, increasing employee retention, management training and risk consulting services.
