Why should I outsource HR? The Key Benefits Explained

18th Nov 2021

How important is HR for my business?

Human Resources can be a difficult subject for many businesses. No matter the size of your company, the ability to oversee the complexities of an HR function while still running operations can become an exercise in putting out fires.

WHAT IS OUTSOURCED HR AND HOW CAN YOU OUTSOURCE IT?

Outsourced HR is a contract between an employer and a specialised professional, the client has the third party oversee their choice of HR functions. This can take the pressure off overworked employees, and provide specialist advice in the complex legal landscape of Human Resources.

WHY SHOULD MY BUSINESS OUTSOURCE HR AND WHAT ARE THE KEY BENEFITS?

You will gain access to specialised knowledge and significant experience
  • As a highly legislated area of business, it is incredibly important to ensure that all elements of HR remain compliant. The ever-evolving rules and often incredibly specialised knowledge required makes hiring outsourced HR professionals not only more efficient but also allows you to take advantage of a wealth of experience.
It removes an element of stress
  • Having a team of specialists at your fingertips removes the stresses often felt by business owners when dealing with HR. Furthermore, knowing that there are people who have the required knowledge to navigate HR law and regulations on a case-by-case basis from hiring to conflict resolution gives greater peace of mind.
It is more cost-effective
  • An outsourced HR function will save money on hiring large teams, giving you the option to have everything handled completely remotely, or as an advisory to a smaller in-house team. Oberon’s outsourced HR, as part of our 360-degree Full Circle Management services, provides cost-effective and efficient support to your business.
It frees up time
  • By outsourcing HR functions to Oberon you can free up time so it can be spent on your company's specialised work. Giving you more of the time you need to be able to grow your business.
It frees up team members
  • Our HR services can free up team members for whom HR is a secondary responsibility within their role and assist existing departments through providing access to bespoke systems, specialist advice.

Final thoughts on outsourcing HR

Human Resources covers a range of internal areas, from onboarding new employees to dealing with conflict resolution. The scope and expert knowledge required means having our experts on call for advice is a lifesaving resource.

Outsourcing HR to a third-party organisation can sometimes scare organisations, as they find it hard to lose control but as Oberon is always focusing on their client’s needs we simply take on the aspects that our clients are feeling overwhelmed by as opposed to always taking control of all their HR functions.

We work closely with our clients to best understand their processes, if a client wants to fully outsource their HR then we are happy to work with them to discover the best process for them.
