I recently read an article about 5 Warning Signs You Need to Outsource Your HR where the author Skye Schooley wrote: “To say that HR carries responsibility for your company’s success is an understatement.” This begs the question: If HR carries such a great responsibility, is it worth it to outsource your HR department or rather keep it in-house?
The Human Resources (HR) function holds significant importance within any organisation as it is responsible for the well-being and engagement of employees in the workplace as well as the legal and compliance leg of managing the employees.
Nonetheless, managing both business operations and HR tasks can overwhelm some business owners.
If you are spending too much time managing HR problems, cannot afford a full-time resource, have unclear lines of accountability within the HR function or you simply can’t respond to changes as quickly as you need to - it might be a good idea to start considering outsourcing your HR department.
