How HR Handle More Than Just Payroll

• Human resources departments within most companies
  are responsible for much more than simply
  processing payroll or handling the open enrolment
  season every year. Whether a business is large or
  small, human resources can play a large and often
  essential role in developing company strategy and
  handling all aspects of the employee-centred
  activities of an organisation.
• Here are some of the ways in which HR handle more
  than just payroll
• Controlling the budget
• Human resources have developed methods for
  curbing more spending than is necessary, by
  ensuring that the management costs for the
  workforce are trimmed.

• They do this by negotiating good rates for
  benefits such as healthcare coverage, and when
  studying the labor market, employment trends and
  salaries both locally and nationally they
  make certain that the employees are paid
  competitively but realistically, for the roles
  they are expected to perform.
• Understanding the value of human capital
• Human capital has always been vital to any
  businesses bottom line, and especially for small
  businesses, human capital can be critical because
  they often have employees performing more than
  one, or cross functional, duties. All it takes is
  one employee to leave a small business, and the
  company are left with a large void to fill that
  can easily be a threat to their bottom line.

• Having an in-house human resources department can
  help stress the importance of this and give value
  to each employee.
• Training and development
• The current workforce of a company often under-go
  assessments conducted by human resources, to
  determine their skills sets and what further
  training they might need to better fulfil their
  role. In the early stages of a companys growth,
  this can be extremely beneficial, and the cost of
  training existing staff, far outweighs the cost
  of hiring a new team who may already be more
  qualified.

• Conflict resolution
• With so many different people working under one
  roof, conflicts in the workplace are not
  uncommon, but without a human resources
  department or individual trained to handle
  employee relations, situations can quickly
  escalate out of control. Positive working
  relationships are often the focus of a good HR
  department, and they can resolve disputes that
  may otherwise have turned into lawsuits or
  arguments at the very least.
• Employee satisfaction
• With employee surveys that have been meticulously
  designed, focus groups and exit interview
  strategies,

• HR can get to the root of any employee
  dissatisfaction and go on to address any issues
  leading from this. Hopefully, once addressed and
  tackled, employee motivation can then be
  restored.
• Saving money
• With HR to focus on a quality recruitment process
  and training and employee satisfaction, they can
  minimize the expenses related to advertising job
  postings, training new employees and enrolling
  them in benefits plans.

• Improving a companys performance
• Performance management systems are usually
  designed by human resources, enabling them to
  measure whether employees are meeting the demands
  of the job, and assess whether those employees
  whose performances are below par, can remain on
  the payroll.
• These are just a few of the ways in which HR
  handle a lot more than just payroll, and for some
  businesses, it proves easier and more profitable
  to outsource this function. To explore your human
  resource options, get in touch with your local
  payroll provider.
