What are the benefits of outsourcing your HR?

by | Sep 18, 2020 | News

Here at Spire, we are a team of highly qualified and knowledgeable HR experts with a deep understanding of employment law. Our skills vary from employment contracts to managing disciplinarians as well as any other enquiries on your journey as an employer. Whether you just need help with ad-hoc requirements or your team is growing and you’re considering hiring someone to join the team, in this blog we will discuss the benefits of outsourcing your HR for your business.

Cost-effective

The majority of the time there is a large sum of costs involved in maintaining a HR team. Let’s start with the obvious ones being the salary of the HR staff, as well as the less noticeable costs such as purchasing relevant equipment and considering organisation and training costs.

Outsourcing your HR to a professional and experienced company like ourselves means that you don’t have to worry about any of those additional costs – you pay for our time and services and that’s what we deliver.

Efficiency

We understand that management can end up spending a lot of time dealing with employee queries, staff training and sometimes disciplinaries. We can help the management in your team to feel confident and secure in the knowledge that they are dealing with these interactions in the right way. We’re also able to deal with important ‘HR admin’ tasks that can sometimes be overlooked or rushed such as payrolls and contracts.

Flexibility

Last but not least, outsourcing your HR rather than hiring someone in-house gives you that added flexibility. We work with you on a retainer basis meaning that we can be as involved as you need us to be and keep you up to date with all the legislation and regulator changes that you need to be.

If you are considering outsourcing your HR but aren’t sure where to start, then please feel free to get in touch as we will be able to discuss your company requirements and our services.

As we had recently come up against some difficult staffing issues which we had not experienced before, Ellen Parkin at Spire HR was recommended to us by one of our business partners to guide and assist us with the complex HR legalities we needed to adhere to.

Ellen was very efficient and professional and gave us instant confidence that she would be able to competently provide the help we needed. Ellen was readily accessible via email or telephone throughout the whole process and gave us the vital lifeline we needed during a very emotive and stressful time. Spire HR realised that as an SME, we had to balance the commercial viability for HR consultancy with the expertise and guidance we needed and Ellen was open and honest from the outset, providing a cost-effective and professional service. I would therefore have no hesitation in recommending Spire HR to anyone.

 

We are too small to justify a full-time HR employee; yet we cannot afford to ‘get it wrong’ The excellent service offered by Spire HR Solutions is the perfect solution for us

 

AGP have used Spire HR Solutions Limited for numerous matters relating to HR issues for both ourselves and clients of the practice. I have always found them to be extremely knowledgeable and helpful and to be very responsive to our needs.

Spire is now the practice’s first point of contact for any HR issues we encounter and I would certainly recommend them to anyone in need of assistance with any HR matters.

 

Ellen has helped streamline procedures and provide greater controls through her extensive knowledge and professional dedication, which has enabled me to concentrate on my main objective, growing the business.

I would say ‘key’ to her service is the confidence she provides with the HR guidance, I know without doubt that when dealing with my employees I follow the correct procedure and staff feel confident that they have the right HR support. The guidance on our bonus structure and appraisal scheme is one of many examples in which Ellen’s guidance has been invaluable.

I have been pleased with work Ellen has done for us and would not hesitate to recommend her to others. She provides a high quality, professional service and is very responsive to the needs of a small, growing organisation.
