Outsourcing HR yields substantial cost savings. 

For many small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), managing human resources in-house can be a daunting and costly task. From recruitment to compliance, HR responsibilities can stretch internal resources and distract from core business functions. Outsourcing HR functions offers a cost-effective solution, providing professional expertise that not only alleviates these challenges but also has the potential to transform and propel your business forward.

One of the primary reasons SMBs choose to outsource HR is the substantial cost savings. Employing a full in-house team requires salaries, benefits, training, and providing workspace. The cost of hiring a full-time, in-house HR team in the United States can be costly. For example, an HR manager’s salary averages $80,000 annually, with an HR assistant and recruiter adding $50,000 and $60,000, respectively. Benefits typically add 30% to 40% of the base salary, and although the cost of office space varies widely, on average, it can be around $5,000 to $10,000 per employee per year. Altogether, a small HR team of three could cost between $250,000 and $300,000 annually. 

Outsourcing to a specialized HR partner like SovranHR, allows businesses to access top-tier talent without the overhead costs. This means no salaries, benefits, or office space costs. Instead, you pay for the services you need, when you need them. This is particularly beneficial for smaller businesses that don’t require extensive HR services. Outsourcing also allows you to scale your HR services up or down based on your business needs. This flexibility ensures you only pay for what you use, making it a cost-effective solution.

Tip: Consider the annual costs of hiring full-time HR staff versus outsourcing. Most SMBs save between 20-30% annually by outsourcing their HR needs.

 

Simplify the complexity of labor laws and regulations.

Staying compliant with labor laws and regulations can be costly and time-consuming – it’s a headache for many SMBs. Whether it’s staying up to date with the latest compliance changes or ensuring your company is protected from potential legal issues, the stakes are high. Outsourcing HR ensures you have experts who keep you compliant, reducing the risk of costly fines and legal issues. SovranHR partners with Mineral, leading experts in HR compliance, to ensure our clients stay ahead of changing regulations and never miss a critical HR or compliance requirement.

According to a recent survey, small businesses face these HR and compliance challenges:

Cutting-edge technology is non-negotiable.

SMBs frequently struggle to keep pace with technological advancements in HR operations. Many still depend on manual data entry and processing via spreadsheets, a method that is both time-consuming and inefficient. This manual approach significantly heightens the risk of errors and delays, diverting valuable time and resources from other essential HR tasks – ultimately affecting the overall operational efficiency of the organization.

SovranHR transforms HR, elevating efficiency and productivity through streamlined processes. We provide access to cutting-edge HR technologies, including automation tools that streamline payroll, time tracking, recruitment, and more. With these advanced solutions, your organization can operate more efficiently and maintain a competitive edge.
