Outsourced HR Department For Rent

Until recently, the reality was that small business owners had only one choice regarding HR: build their own department. These HR departments are often heavy in administration, short on hours, and lacking in know-how. The business is left wanting more.

HRX provides a higher-quality, more affordable HR solution compared to establishing an in-house HR department. Simply put, HRX is an HR department for rent. We are people-operations experts with resources that are varied in tenure and background. This allows us to provide our clients with the right solutions for their needs.

Trusted Client Relationships Drive HR Success

It is said that you build really close relationships with those in the proverbial “foxhole” with you. Dealing with people issues in small companies is like being in that foxhole, and we’re right there by your side. We are very proud of our relationships with company owners, executives, and management teams. These relationships form the cornerstone of our success.

Our effectiveness is directly related to the level of trust these folks have in our abilities and advice. That’s why we take the time to get to know the people we support, and we strive to truly understand their business. The net effect is personalized service that impacts your company’s culture, which in turn drives results.

HR Should Add Value To Your Business

Project-based HR. HRX believes this term describes how HR can add value to a business. HR performs many of the essential day-to-day tasks, but where HR can really add value to a company is in developing and executing programs and projects. The key is to only deliver projects that make sense to the business – to steer clear, for example, of “best practices” that hold no meaning to the company. At HRX we believe HR must have the ability to deeply know a business and be on the lookout to solve issues through people, programs, and projects that move the business toward its goals.

Scalable, and Visible HR Outsourcing Solution

First, we have the ability to scale our services to the needs of the company. Some days a company needs considerable HR. Other days, their needs are much less substantial. Our ability to ebb and flow and deliver the right level of expertise allows us to be the right tool for any HR job.

Second, we make our presence known within a company. Whether it is attending a weekly staff meeting or rolling out new programs, we want to be on-site as much as we can. We aim to be part of the team, not merely a vendor. This presence makes us proactive in the business. We’re never waiting for the next crisis; we’re managing in front to prevent all types of crises.

Finally, we respect your culture. There is no single, cookie-cutter solution to HR. Our experience tells us that Human Resources is approximately 80% the same from company to company. The remaining 20% is the effect of culture on the company. And that significant 20% has teeth.

Objective, Practical HR Advice

Have an opinion. Our clients seek our advice because our opinions are based on experience and the overarching intention of doing what is right for the client. This objective point of view helps our clients make better decisions.

Look to Build a Better Mouse Trap. Actively propose ideas and insights in order to prompt new thinking. However, look for the simplest solution. Sometimes pencil-and-paper offers an easier and more effective remedy than massive spreadsheets.

Strategic HR To Meet Business Needs

HRX professionals are people-operations experts. That means we monitor the company culture and ensure the manager and the team are aligned with strategy. When you get down to it, strategy often fails because of people: Someone does or doesn’t do something, politics intervene, or resource management is imbalanced. Since the HRX professional maintains an objective stance, they can keep an eye on the big picture, looking for gaps between where the company is today and where it needs to be tomorrow. Strategy.

We Plug In Where You Need Us

Too often, companies feel like they are not getting enough out of HR. Initially, HR is responsible for administrative work and basic HR duties like recruiting. But as the business becomes more complicated, HR is often left behind to figure things out by themselves. Until now.

If your current business scenario is that you don’t have Human Resources, HRX is more than capable of becoming your HR department. We are set up to bring the right level of HR to your company for overall business success. We never overwhelm with HR policy and procedure.

If your company has an HR person but needs to scale up to a department, we can help. In many businesses the HR individual has grown into the role. These people are key employees who possess the company’s tribal knowledge but lack the HR expertise to drive the requisite level of impact HR needs to have. We regularly work with this type of arrangement, augmenting the HR department while working side-by-side with the long-term company HR employee.

If your company has been forced to choose between experience and education and has hired someone straight out of school, we can fill in the gaps. We train and mentor these new professionals and bring the experiences needed to round out the department. One-third of our client base comprises this type of arrangement.

Outsourced HR Department For Rent

Since its release in the early 90’s, Good to Great by Jim Collins has been a roadmap for success in business. One of the most widely used analogies from the book is the principle of getting the right people on the bus.

It is often said that a company obtains the results they are designed to get. HRX helps make sure that the company design meets the company’s goals. Unfortunately, there may be some individual in a company who cannot or will not align with the company’s goals. A core competency of HRX is helping companies manage through difficult employee decisions.

Hiring the right people is one of the most impactful ways to change the direction and culture of a company. The right influx of talent establishes the vision of the company while moving the company toward success. HRX can assist in finding the right people, with the right skills and the right attitude.

Sometimes a company can have the right people, but they are in the wrong position. HRX can help move people into the right job – the job that is best for the employee and for the company.

When the bus is functioning at its best, the company’s performance will be at its highest. At HRX we perform HR services so that businesses can build and manage their bus. HRX is Human Resources with Purpose.

Fractional Approach Results In Cost-Savings and Greater Expertise

To make sure we best serve our clients, we capitalize on their fluctuating needs. This fractionalized approach allows us to offer big cost-savings to each of our clients.

We have found that a retainer billing process works best for this arrangement. With the retainer, you get unlimited access. We know that you are not in business to do HR. Our approach is to offer you all the help you need, without overstaying our welcome.

Our initial agreement is for 90 days. After that, the agreement is month to month. We want to have the feel of an employee. If an employee is not pulling their weight, they are not protected by a long-term contract. Neither should we be.
