Investing in Human Resources for Long-Term Growth

by on Sep.30, 2010, under employment, Hiring, HR, Human Resources, interview, interviewing applicants, outsourcing, Small Businesses, Talent Acquistion

It’s usually very clear why a company would invest in hiring an excellent law or accounting firm to represent their interests.  These two industries offer services that save their clients countless amounts of money annually. Business owners easily see the intrinsic value of investing in these firms, yet often have a hard time seeing the benefits of investing in their company’s human resources.

Recruitment Services: Attract Better Talent

It is necessary for a firm to identify the skill set that they are seeking in a potential employee in order to target their search appropriately.  An empowered Human Resources team is able to clearly identify their firm’s hiring needs and is less limited in the tools available when seeking out the best ways to fill those positions.  In the long run, better hiring practices will bring better employees.

Employee/Labor Relations: Minimize Employee Turnover

Maintaining high levels of job satisfaction amongst staff is the key to keeping long-term employees, especially in this tumultuous economy.  By investing in Human Resources, companies are able to stay on the leading edge of benefits; employees can trust that their employer cares about their health and happiness, adding to their overall opinion of their workplace.

Human Resources Management: Increase Productivity

By identifying and targeting productivity goals, firms are able to set realistic expectations for growth and monitor progress over time.  Additionally, maintaining long-term staff allows for growth and development within a position, allowing employees to bring more beneficial skill sets to the table and positively impact their work environment.

By putting these ideas into practice with Human Resources Outsourcing, companies are able to focus directly on the task at hand and become more productive and thus, more profitable. What would your company be capable of accomplishing if you streamlined your operations through HR Outsourcing?

Human Resources Outsourcing VS. Job Fairs: How Are Companies Finding Talent?

by on Sep.28, 2010, under employment, Hiring, HR, Human Resources, outsourcing, Talent Acquistion

Companies invest a lot of time, money and energy sending recruiters to job fairs conducted all over the world. However many employers are finding they are leaving empty handed, frustrated and without the qualified employees they were seeking.

Although job fairs are not completely unsuccessful, many companies realize that the resumes they collect at such events are far below the standards they were originally searching for. The fact remains that most employers are just not willing to settle, especially in an economy ripe with individuals seeking employment.

Top Reasons Why Job Fairs Fail to Find Talent:

• Low Caliber of Attendees
• Poor Turnout
• Disorganization
• Lack of Strong Candidates
• Insufficient Promotional Efforts

The failure of companies to effectively find strong candidates at job fairs is one of the major reasons they are turning to professional employment organizations as an alternative. By utilizing the staffing and recruiting services of human resourcing outsourcing specialists companies are finding talented employees when they need them. A PEO will provide the expertise to handle recruiting, pre-screening, position placement, training and even HR management.

Top Reasons Why Human Resources Outsourcing Works To Find Talent:

• Large Inventory of Candidates
• Thorough Pre-Screening Procedures
• Highly Skilled
• Invaluable Referrals
• Flexibility

By choosing human resources outsourcing over a job fair for finding talented employees companies can rely on the expert recruitment services of a professional team of HR specialists to assess each candidate ensuring the right fit for employers while saving them both time and money.

Companies are Bringing Outsourced Call Centers Back to American Soil

by on Sep.27, 2010, under benefits, Customer Service, Government Compliance, HR, outsourcing

To the relief of consumers, a large percentage of United States companies are bringing their call centers back to American shores. Many have found it difficult to interact with call center operators, as the operators often find themselves easily confused by slang and vernacular used by native English speakers.  Because of this disconnect in communication between caller and operator, callers are becoming less likely to use information or help hotlines and often ending their phone calls more bewildered than they began­– without the help, clarification, or instructions they were seeking in the first place.

In response to the widespread disappointment from American consumers, companies are bringing their call centers back home meaning ease in communication as well as an increase in jobs available across America.  While companies have previously found it very profitable to outsource jobs, the payoffs are now nowhere near as high as they used to be.  Inflation, as well as a rise in the pay expected in foreign countries, has pushed the cost of outsourcing to popular “call center countries” such as India and the Philippines through the roof.  Once companies began to take the cost and quality of service provided through their call centers into consideration, many began to bring their business back home to the States.

Another bonus for American firms seeking a solution to their call-center dilemma: they are now able to contribute further to strengthening the American economy.  Experts currently estimate that hiring someone in Nebraska to work at a call center costs only 15% more than hiring an employee in India.  Take into account any potential tax-breaks the company may receive for hiring new (American) employees, as well as the impact that employee could have on their local economy, and the benefits of an American-run call center begin stacking up.

American consumers are voicing their opinion about their feelings about outsourcing customer service overseas. Reports have been conducted that have found customers expressed more favorable feedback when they perceived a call center in the U.S.

A few facts about American Call Centers:

  • Consumer satisfaction is 1/5 higher when calls are (or are perceived) to be handled within the United States.
  • Consumers are more likely to have their problems solved when the person handling their call can understand the issue and properly articulate the solution.
  • The opportunity cost of employing operators in other countries is beginning to far outweigh the benefit.
  • U.S. companies are looking for cost-effective, economy-building labor solutions across the board.  Housing their call centers at home, rather than abroad, brings more employment opportunities for unskilled laborers and strengthens the lower classes.

While outsourcing call centers may have not been a viable option in the long run, companies are still looking for cost-effective options for their businesses.  Human resource outsourcing, such as benefits outsourcing, employee and labor relations, employee leasing, government compliance, HR audits, HR consulting, HR management, payroll services, and recruitment services, are becoming popular ways for companies to save time and money, allowing them to bring you better products and services for less.

Advancing Technologies Critical for Business and #1 Reason for Human Resources Outsourcing

by on Jul.16, 2010, under HR

Keeping up with all of the technological advances is a major reason businesses are choosing human resources outsourcing as a viable solution to meet the growing demands of a sophisticated and unparalleled techno-savvy marketplace.

With all the innovations in communications as well as the increasing world-wide thirst for technology-driven company intelligence, it is required that businesses who want to compete in earnest must supply a workforce which has a clear understanding of all the multi-layered tech advances that are redefining today’s marketplace.

HR outsourcing provides the management companies are coming to rely on to supply the intelligence commodity that would otherwise not be available to them. Employees who are highly qualified in IT are an invaluable HR tool and allow businesses to enhance their output and productivity, ultimately raising their profit margins.

Having an integrated HR outsourcing system is the most efficient way to create and manage a qualified employee pool of IT experts without the worry and expense of an in-house infrastructure that not only drains a business’ resources but also may limit a company’s options and their ability to compete.

This is why current business strategies have evolved to include HR outsourcing. A Professional Employer Organization or (PEO) will provide a company with well-managed human resources services that will competently execute all the required HR functions from hiring and benefits programs to legal issues and termination.

With over 100 years of experience, Global Human Resources Outsourcing is an administrative service organization that will provide management to lower cost and raise profits by mitigating employee/labor relations, HR management, HR consulting, employee benefits, government compliance, employees leasing, payroll services, recruitment services, safety and worker’s compensation and much more.
