What's the difference between consulting and outsourcing?

Most often, "consulting,” indicates a time-limited partnership focused on creating appropriate solutions for specific needs or challenges. "Outsourcing," on the other hand, usually refers to an ongoing relationship, in which the provider assumes some or all of a client's HR function on a long-term basis.  (Back to Top)

At what point should a company consider hiring a full time HR manager?

Companies with less than 150 employees generally do not require a full-time HR Manager. However, for companies that have 25-35 employees, the workload becomes too much for the owner /CEO and the responsibility is often shifted to an office manager, controller, or another key employee. By not utilizing trained HR professionals, a company may be creating a great risk that can cause tremendous damage to the company's long-term financial health. These key employees can no longer focus on their dedicated tasks because employee administration can quickly become all-encompassing. The frustration often causes key management to become overwhelmed.  (Back to Top)

How much will it cost me to hire an HR manager versus hiring the services of Team HR?

The national average salary for an HR manager is around $55,000.  To that figure you will have employer mandated costs of around $4,500 for FICA/FUTA/SUTA.  Figure at least $2,400 for annual health/dental.  Retirement contribution of $1,500. And let's not forget about turnover costs, unemployment, workers' compensation, sick and vacation costs.  With Team HR, you can eliminate ALL of these costs.  Your company will be provided a trained, professional HR Department -- responsible for handling all human resource issues for a per-employee/per year cost.  Generally, this can lead to a savings of from 50% to 75% of your total HR manager expense, depending on your services needs.  (Back to Top)
