The Human Resources Function

Within large organizations, both public and private, a Human Resources department deals with the myriad of tasks involved in managing the organization’s human component to maximize productivity and minimize labour costs at all levels. This department is ideally staffed by individuals with specialized education in business administration, organizational sociology, industrial psychology, education, etc.  In addition, these individuals often have significant experience in the Human Resources field and have acquired special expertise in one or more Human Resource functions. It is that kind of training and experience that we would bring to your organization.

The Problem

As the owner of manager or manager of a small to mid-size business you are probably forced to wear many hats: Executive, Sales Manager, Production Manager, Account and Finance Manager, Human Resources Manager.

Your time is fragmented and your workday seems a little too full. You and your management staff would like to be able to concentrate on the core of your operations without distraction. At the same time, you understand the importance of effective Human Resource management in meeting the goals and objectives in your organization.

Or, you are currently facing and immediate human resource issue and you need advice or assistance in getting the matter resolved.

Or, your organization is changing rapidly and there is a need to develop new approaches to human resources management – new directions, new policies, new procedures and programs.

Or, you may already have a Human Resources staff. a manager, a Specialist or administrative staff that are overloaded or lack the training and experience to handle the new challenges of the organization.

The Virtual HR Option

A Virtual Human Resources Department can provide you with the support you need, when you need it.

Depending on your organization’s requirements, a support plan can be designed that:

• Covers only as many of the Human Resources functions as you need.
• Will be available as needed at your location to attend staff and management meetings, answer employee questions, and perform any necessary on site work
• Identifies Human Resources management issues before they become problems
• Performs all the administrative support required on a daily, weekly, monthly or annual basis
• Will complete and file all the necessary government reports
• Can produce any reports or analysis you may require to effectively manage your business
• Will be available as needed at your location to attend staff and management meetings, answer employee questions, and perform any necessary on site work
• Can provide a variable billing arrangement that can follow your organization’s revenue cycle.
• Can look after payroll, benefits and pension plans, and required record-keeping.

In short -- we can operate just like an in-house
Human Resources Department.

Except that: 

• The function is not taking up valuable office space at your location
• Requires no computer equipment, office furniture, phones, faxes, or office supplies.
• Does not add to your employee head count
• Does not add to your fixed costs of your organization
