Change management
HR outsourcing came to the forefront of business activity primarily as a means to achieve cost reduction. Outsourcing the non-core functions of the companies began to become an option once companies began to recognize the value of focusing on their core competencies rather than the non-core functions. While one of the major reasons for outsourcing the HR function is short-term cost-saving, it is not the only reason. stated below are a few reasons companies often outsource their HR function:
-
Reduction in Costs – One of the most common reasons companies outsource their HR function is to reduce the cost of the HR process. Although organisations could achieve most of the cost reduction through their own conscious efforts, many companies fail to bring about a transformation, as they do not possess the right technology and scale, or the skill to do so. Hence, organisational managers derive the conclusion that it is much more cost-effective to use an external recruitment service provider who can provide established infrastructure, adequate experience and expertise to their customers.
-
Compliance with Rules and Regulations – Many businesses fail to keep up with constantly changing rules pertaining to the management of recruitment, data protection, training, etc. The failure to comply with these rules can lead to dire financial consequences. While labour costs account for one of the largest operating business expenses, payroll, tax overheads and other expenses such as the health insurance premium, workers’ compensation insurance, recruiting fees, and legal costs add to the list, making it harder for companies to keep track.
-
Risk Reduction – Organisations have a legal obligation to comply with the legislation of local and national employment. Failure to comply with legislation can take up management time. Bad experiences of managers with the employees of the organisation are one of the most common triggers for exploring outsourcing options.
-
Improvement in the Quality of Service Provided – Service providers outsourcing HR are experienced and possess knowledge of the best practice processes.
-
Increasing the Capacity of the HR Function to Respond to Organizational Changes – When smaller organisations fail to invest in an internal HR function during the early growth years due to various factors, outsourcing the HR function is a tool used by most of the companies. The HR function is also outsourced by organisations if they wish to transform their already existing HR function but cannot effectively change the delivery structure of the services without external intervention. The HR function is also outsourced at a time when the company, for various reasons, does not have an HR infrastructure and cannot afford to establish a new internal HR operation.
-
Efficiency – Maintaining efficiency and productivity in the workplace is essential. Outsourcing frees the organisation managers from additional paperwork and allows them to focus more on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the workplace and organisation thus attaining goals.
-
Employee Development – Outsourcing HR functions can help manage the performance and development of the employees in the workplace. Outsourcing the HR function helps ensure that the employees abide by the rules and regulations of the organisation and comply with the company’s policies and procedures to help the organisation meet business goals.
Our HR Outsourcing Service Includes Support in the Following Areas:
Why Outsource the HR Functions?
accountancy outsourcing
Accounting is one of the most important functions for any company as it allows the firm to keep a track of their financial operations and business efficiency. Accurate financial data allows the company heads to make informed and sound business decisions and improve the profitability of the organization. Having an in-house accounting team can be a great idea but can be an expensive affair. For this reason, more and more companies in the UK are choosing to outsource accounting services to an experienced service provider. Healthy HR works with the UK's leading providers of accounting services who can take care of all your accounting needs in the most efficient manner. Outsourcing UK accounting services to us will assure you with reliable accounting services and leave you with the time required to focus on other important business functions.

Benefits of Outsourcing your Accounting Operations
-
Better Use of Time – By outsourcing your accounting operations, you free up valuable time that can be better spent elsewhere. Pouring over the books on back-end office operations can be a huge hassle that takes away precious company time. This time can be better spent on daily operations and bringing in new customers.
-
Reduced Costs – Outsourced accounting operations save you money by eliminating costly packages to a full-time or part-time employee. When you outsource accounting, you only pay for the actual accounting, nothing else. This saves in productivity costs as well as payroll costs.
-
Reduced Fraud – This is due to the fact that most small companies don’t have access to a controller who could look at the Key Performance Indicators and metrics which show abnormal activity in the transactional and billing data.
-
Access to Expert Advice – By outsourcing your accounting operations to a professional accounting firm, you’re effectively hiring a team of experts. They work around the clock for your business by keeping up with the latest tax information, affording you full-time coverage for only part-time pay.
-
Collaborative Accounting Brings Better Results – No matter how you look at it, having a team of professional accountants working on your books is going to be better than having an in-house employee keeping them. Whether it’s you, a part-time accountant or full-time employee who takes on the task of accounting, the job is just not getting the proper attention. There are tons of loopholes and exemptions out there and one individual is just not enough to find them all for you. Outsourcing your accounting operations affords you a team of people, all double-checking each other to ensure that all the right findings are being found.
-
Scalable Options – Last, but certainly not least, we have scalable options. When you outsource your accounting operations, it becomes simple to expand and grow your business or find places to cut down on spending. Essentially, outsourcing gives you tons of flexibility and options.
business Partnering
consultation
What is business partnering?
An HR business partner is an experienced human resource professional who works directly with an organization's senior leadership to develop and direct an HR agenda that closely supports organizational goals. Rather than working primarily as part of the internal human resources department, the HR business partner works closely with senior leadership. The role of the HR business partner is to make sure human resource policy and procedure throughout the organization fit the needs, goals, and aims of the organization and its top leadership. There is less focus on administration, compliance, and management. Rather than performing the day-to-day training or dealing with policy wording or the details of benefits packages and hiring, the HR business partner works with the big picture to find the most effective and cost-efficient solutions.
Many organisations use business partnering as their key HR operating model. Business partners are aligned to and work closely with business leaders to enhance workforce performance, foster and nurture strategic people enablers such as talent, leadership, learning and culture, as well as develop people solutions, to achieve the organisation’s objectives.
The essence of true business partnering is context. It’s understanding the organisation’s strategy and goals, appreciating people demographics, the organisational culture, and developing people solutions that help achieve business objectives while enabling employees to flourish. This is achieved through developing meaningful relationships with key people and teams across the organisation, using data to be more evidence-based in practice, and delivering a portfolio of business-relevant solutions that meet the evolving needs of the organisation.
Business Partnering in Practise
HR Business partnering is one way that HR can move away from being a traditional back-office function, to become a business enabler or driver. It’s about developing and deploying expertise that helps shape positive change, translating the organisation’s goals into people-based solutions, as well as challenging and focusing on adaptive people practices that ensure alignment to the future objective.
While HR is a distinct function within the organisation it is also a true partnering with the business’s leaders and management, driving the organisational goals and then translating this into action on the ground. HR strategies are not simply created reactively, or out of legal necessity, butting antlers with those around them. Instead, the HR strategy is determined within the context of the business strategy – the two go hand in hand.
The Current Trend
HR business partnering is gaining popularity amongst organisations as their way of organising their HR function because it’s proving to add significant business value. Through business partnering, HR can be seen as the instigator of both balance and change, aligning different stakeholders to the overall organisational goals. On the ground, this means HR is there recruiting the right talent and motivating it in the here and now, without losing sight of the larger goals and performance in the long-term.
If you are interested in learning more or if you think that implementing the business partnering model can benefit your organisation contact us to arrange a consultation with our most senior specialists.

Benefits of Training Outsourcing
Making a decision of whether to leave your staff training programmes to an in-house team or outsource it can be critical when determining your long-term business development strategy. As a result, there is much to consider before you choose which route to go down – and understanding the benefits that each option can offer is certainly something you should research before deciding either way. So, what are the main reasons a company may choose to outsource its training?
-
Fewer Challenges – In-house learning programmes often come with their own set of issues that culminate in delays, time wastage, and inefficiency. Outsourcing training leverages the provider’s resources and expertise to deliver material in the quickest and most effective way. This frees up staff to continue doing what they do best: teams are more productive, learning is more efficient, and key stakeholders see the value returned.
-
Reinvest Cost Savings – Outsourcing training saves time, and, in a business, time is money. The time that would have been spent on developing expensive in-house training programmes can now be invested elsewhere in the business.
-
Flexible Contracts – Outsourcing by its very nature is flexible, allowing companies the option to exit a contract or change the terms without incurring crippling penalties should they not be satisfied with service delivery and outcomes.
Contact our dedicated team to help you find and implement the best training solutions for your organisation.
