Are you keeping your finger on the pulse?

HR processes and legislation are evolving quickly. When your business grows and your internal landscape evolves, will you know how to look after your HR needs?

You can’t be an expert in everything. The benefit that an outsourced HR provider offers is that experience and knowledge is shared across a team of professionals. This combined expertise cannot be compared to a stand-alone HR Manager, who is often confronted with situations that fall outside of their area of expertise. This can be stressful for the HR Manager, but also a risk to your business.

Whether you’re looking to ensure your HR procedures are compliant, or you’re seeking an HR solutions expert for all facets of your business, our HR partners can offer you the security of an extended HR team. They can tap into a huge network of other HR Partners, payroll software specialists and Employment Lawyers to provide whole-of-business focused HR solutions.

Sharing ideas and strategies with an outsourced HR partner means you can access additional resources and assistance with industrial relations, whilst at the same time feeling supported and confident in any business decisions made.

Find out how we can offer an added layer of support to your existing infrastructure with our HR solutions.

Lean HR, what we believe

Our Lean HR model recognises that line managers can absorb many HR responsibilities and play a key role in talent management when given access to the right tools, training and expertise. Here are the eight principles that both we and our clients are applying proactively to deliver innovative HR to more Australian businesses.

Simplifying HR management and administration through cloud HR software.

Giving managers access to HR expertise for better and faster decision making.

Aligning HR goals with company objectives.

Promoting genuine coaching and conversations between managers and employees.

Providing HR tools to ensure role clarity, drive the right behaviours, manage performance and develop employees.

Measuring and improving employee engagement by collecting and acting on regular feedback.

Reasonably predicting turnover to reduce time to hire

Continuously improving the health of HR in the business.

How does it work?

Step 01.

Depending on the level of service required, you will receive a dedicated HR consultant or an advisory team, who will work with you to assist with human resources in your business.

Step 03.

Your HR service can include help to maintain and administer Employment Hero, your HR software which taps into all key HR metrics, employee files, HR workflows and HR documents.

Step 02.

Your business gains access to outsourced HR expertise, coaching and workplace advice via your consultant or team, including help managing investigations, under-performance, grievance and misconduct issues. Advice is backed by representation in the event of any complex workplace claim (at no extra cost) through our partner EI Legal.

Step 04.

On-site HR support can be provided on-demand. Depending on your package, your outsourced HR service may also include a certain number of on-site hours per annum.
