Why More Businesses Are Outsourcing HR

By Helen Burrowes

Senior HR Consultant

There are a number of reasons that businesses decide to outsource their HR function. 

Employers are required to proactively understand employment legislation to avoid any costly tribunal claims. This can be challenging for employers, and can take them away from focusing on core business activities. Outsourcing HR allows the employer to have a flexible approach, the employer can outsource their general HR guidance and further activities and strategic projects these can be added when required.

The main reasons that businesses outsourced their HR is to:

  • Ensure legal compliance
  • Provide access to expertise in qualified HR professionals
  • Frees up managers / internal HR teams to focus on core business activities

Where the company employs people, providing policies and procedures that are fully compliant with employment legislation, is essential.  Good practice HR ensures that employees are engaged at work, and employers meet the legal requirements of employing people.
