1. IT HAS BECOME ABSOLUTELY
VITAL FOR SMALL AND
MIDSIZED BUSINESSES TO
OUTSOURCE HR!
Outsourcing has been around for decades; it has picked up speed since the economic
downturn of 2008. In the 90’s we used outsourcing which referred to large corporations
that stationed jobs offshore. Today, outsourcing normally refers to subcontracting an
internal business function to an external provider that brings with them a wealth of
experience and expertise to complete a essential function. Most small to midsized
businesses outsource functions such as payroll; accounting; and similar tasks for the
reason of proficiency; expertise and costs. Business owners take pride in their existence;
they don’t rely on others to “get the job done”; achieve their aspirations and goals with
their own flair; that being said an increasing number of entrepreneurs’ are witnessing their
businesses (and their bank accounts)flourish as a result of strategic outsourcing.
HR Outsourcing saves money
Let’s look at the numbers…total yearly costs (salary; bonus; benefit and pension costs;
payroll, taxes, office space; laptop; software; mobile; and business expenses) for an
entrepreneur to employ an HR Generalist with 2 years’ experience for a small business
(50 employees or less) is between $65,000 to $75,000. To employ an HR manager with
over 5 years’ experience is a staggering $110,000 annually. Still not convinced?? Most
HR professionals with less than 5 years’ experience are not business savvy, they will
have difficulty relating to an entrepreneur whose subservience to purpose is to nurture
their business and watch it prosper.
Companies such as PriorityHR., a Grand Rapids based HR firm, allows small businesses
to outsource their entire HR resources requirements for annual cost as low as $3,000 for
a company with less than 6 employees, as low as $10,000 for company with less than 25
employees and as low as $20,000 for a company with under 50 employees. That’s a huge

HR Outsourcing allows you to focus on your greatest competitive advantage;
EMPLOYEES!
PriorityHR believes for companies to dominate and become a respected leader in their
market place, they must invest in their employees. For companies to become successful
they must first start with the “Who” (employees) prior to the “What” (strategies). You must
ensure you have the right talent in the correct seats within your organization. Once you
have the correct talent you must ensure they are aware of how they will contribute to your
company’s goals and values. Furthermore, this will permit you to merge a culture of
discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship and self-determination with a focus on results.
The biggest obstacle for entrepreneurs’ is locating the right talent they can trust to ensure
they are making the correct decisions for the company to prosper. Lack of trust slows
your company down, makes you inefficient and costs you money and time.

upon reputation and accessibility. Perhaps one of the prevalent benefits (and often the
most overlooked) of outsourcing your human resources requirements is that it will provide
your business with a professional and polished image. (Offering benefits on the level
which only the very large corporations once had access to.) It will also permit you time
and resources to focus on preserving your core. Lastly, outsourcing human resources will
aid in managing a temporary or permanent increase or decrease, in business and will
serve as a jumping off point big growth.
