HR Outsourcing and HRAssess

Client with a need to outsource their entire HR function.

Issue

Our client, a financial services firm with over $500mm in annual revenues and over forty employees and growing, determined that the Human Resources function was not being handled completely or with the necessary levels of expertise to insure legal compliance, liability limitation, and overall support for the employee population. The job at the time was being handled by a member of their organization whose primary role and expertise was not HR, had become too cumbersome.

Solution

Using our proprietary HR AssessSM methodology, we conducted a full scale HR audit, reviewing all the present infrastructure including employee files, their contents, documents in use, processes in use, other HR vendors and their corresponding performance, and the present makeup of the employee population. Meetings with management followed, seeking their input on the needs, the culture, the issues, and the priorities, all with the goal of serving the success of the business. Thereafter, a foundation for the HR function was reestablished, with compliance and liability limitation as the key focus areas, and simple and easy-to-follow processes were deployed for the HR function. The new HR representative was introduced to the employee population. All new methodologies were clearly communicated. Lastly, OperationsInc managed the HR function going forward.

Results

Our client saw a significant improvement in the HR support provided to their management and staff. There was a marked reduction in non-compliant behavior, and an exponential reduction in liability. The presence of structure and process, without bureaucracy served as a vehicle for both enhanced recruiting and improved retention. The individual who previously was straddled with managing the HR function was left free to handle their core function, without the burden of HR.

"To be blunt, our OI resource has done a great job helping us.  I really have no complaints, but I realize we are small and the priority should be less for someone like us, but she has never made us feel that way.  Very responsive and is here when we need her."

"Our OI Resource has been great to work with.  Through my interactions with her, she seems very knowledgeable in her area and able to answer any of my questions.  If we do come across something she doesn’t know off hand, she does a great job of doing the research or asking others at OI, and then getting back to me quickly with a thorough response.  She’s also always available if we need to schedule a call or meeting."

"I have found our OI resource to be extremely easy to work with.  She is very professional, and responds quickly to all communication.  When we have worked together on lengthier projects (i.e. Handbook and Salary Grids) she has completed the work on a timely basis.  I have found that she does have a wealth of knowledge, but if unsure of an answer, she will do the research and get me the correct answer.  She is very thorough and I feel very confident in her ability and quality of work.  I would feel very comfortable recommending her services to my peers."
