Why CHoose to outsource your HR Department
on-site and off-site support

HR department has in the past never been a priority in a company, and the day-to day HR tasks were given either to the Financial Manager or the Managing Director, it was never seen as important, but more of a hassle than a benefit.  In the past companies would've gotten away with not following the correct procedures or not implementing policies as per legislation. As we are aware, today the law is more on the side of the employee than of the employer, and that is why it is important to have HR as part of your business.

It is becoming more difficult for small to medium-sized business owners to find the time to handle the day-to-day HR tasks.  An HR Consultant can ease the burden and step in when no HR expertise exists to handle your continually needed HR functions and to give you more time to focus on growing your business and leaving the employee aspect to the HR consultant. Your business will benefit from the expertise and experience of a Human Resource Consultant without the cost of paying a full-time salary.


The starting point of an HR consultant is by analysing your company’s workforce management needs, and developing structures to support and improve the resources already in place. We make sure that you are legally compliant in all aspects of HR. A HR consultant should focus on maximizing worker productivity and that everyone is compliant with the company's policies and procedures. This requires developing job descriptions for each employee and an annual review process on performance and contribution to the company. We help you to get the best out of your workforce.


The best HR professionals truly care about both the employer and employee, that are committed to resolving issues in a way that maintains trust in relationships, and quite simply, be an example of the characteristics of good person.

 

We Believe it is essential that we focus on and care about the following:

1. To Always put people over policies and procedures.

2. To Take the reality into consideration and do not just focus on the theory.

3. To be a problem solver and to ensure that relationships are maintained and strengthened

4. To Simplify everything.

5. To Focus on what really matters to drive the business forward and not to get hung up on trivial details. 


You may feel that the time you spent on managing human resource responsibilities internally is not the best use of your time, and that you should rather be focusing on revenue generating activities than sorting out people problems, because you might not understand the complexities of human resources management, as it's not at the top of your priority list. A HR consultant is just what you need. Having the convenience of personalised HR experience that provides as little or as much HR support as you need.

our expertise & Services

Managing human resources has become a critical role in managing a business. Yet for some businesses, the various functions of the HR department are too comprehensive and complex to maintain in-house.

Monthly HR consulting

Some companies require monthly HR support, but the function is not large enough to warrant a full time employee. We offer monthly HR consulting on a retainer basis whereby a consultant can be on-site a few times per month, or once or twice a week (depending on your company’s needs) as well as be available off-site to assist telephonically & via email. 

AD-hoc hr consulting
