Frequently Asked Questions
Why would my business outsource HR?
By focusing your time and energy on the "business of business" and not on the "business of employment," your time and energy is spent on areas that will have the highest impact on driving revenue. Expenses are reduced as you outsource non-core functions to an organization that specializes in managing employment costs. Employees benefit from the services of a professional human resources department and expanded benefits package. It's truly a win for everyone!
Outsourcing HR has many benefits for a business. Hiring outside experts to handle non-revenue-generating activities such as payroll and payroll administration, benefits administration, tax administration, risk management, unemployment administration and workers' compensation enables a business to focus more time and energy on core competencies. HR Outsourcing is also cost-effective for any business. Many companies prefer to hire a single resource for the management of HR functions, a simpler, more efficient solution than managing many different service provider relationships. Odyssey OneSource clients receive further support from outsourcing by accessing and leveraging deep HR management expertise, on issues from tax and legal compliance to risk management and on-demand consulting.
