Put Your Money Where Your Focus Is

Consider outsourcing those costly back-office responsibilities

Business owners are always looking for ways to maximize their investment. One area that they sometimes over look is outsourcing human resources. For most businesses, that isn’t your core competency, and it has a potential for big and costly mistakes, so why not turn it over to an expert and get that headache out of your hair?

The benefits of outsourcing HR
For starters, outsourcing HR will likely save you money as it helps reduce the cost of maintaining non-revenue-generating back-office expenses. A fully-functional human resources department requires additional office space and highly-trained and experienced HR staff.

You need to ask yourself if you can afford an experienced enough HR professional (salary, benefits, and perks) who not only can handle the day-to-day but can also stay on top of increasingly complicated federal, state, local employment laws and compliance-related issues, such as:

• Healthcare mandates
• State and local minimum wage changes
• Labor law compliance
• Worker’s comp
• Sexual harassment
• Leave time
• Tax implication strategies by employee classes
• Penalties for improper training
• Employee handbook updates

While every business owner wants to focus on delivering that product or service the business was founded on, they unavoidably begin spending more and more of their time on back-office tasks. The owner of nearly every company will beam with pride when talking about his or her products and services; however, that enthusiasm quickly fades when the conversation turns to back office activities. I recommend outsourcing HR so you can not only efficiently and effectively stay up to date, you can stay focused on what made you want to start a business in the first place: creating first-rate goods and services for your customers.
