Growing a successful business takes time and dedication, and when you start hiring people you can suddenly find yourself with a whole host of new responsibilities and paperwork.
Human Resources is an essential aspect of any business. It covers everything from hiring the right people to dealing with all the regulations that come with being an employer. When done right, HR can even help steer an organisation towards its goals.
Whatever stage your business is at, outsourcing some or even all of your HR can help free up your precious time so you can focus on your passion – your business – and remove the stress of having to do it all yourself.
As well as having a breadth of expertise, the fact that our experience comes from different industries is extremely helpful.
Essentially, we’re armed with a wider scope of knowledge and comparative information. As a client, you benefit from the most up-to-date practises, insights and trends from across the profession.
Here are some of the reasons why you should consider outsourcing.
1. You’ll have access to specialist knowledge, whenever you need it
There are lots of different aspects to HR, and it’s almost impossible for a small in-house HR team to have the experience and expertise needed to deal with every issue that might arise.
One of the greatest benefits of outsourcing is that you will have access to an entire team of HR professionals with expertise in different areas.
At Pace HR, our team specialise in different aspects of HR. So whatever problem you might be having, a friendly and experienced HR professional will just be a phone call or email away.
2. You’ll get the very best, strategic advice
As well as being on-hand to give advice and support, outsourcing to a team of professionals will help you create a more strategic long-term HR plan for your business. This isn’t something that’s easy to do alone.

All this leads to more innovative ideas and methods for helping you achieve your goals.
3. You’ll have peace of mind that your business is legally compliant
When you’re busy running a business it can be difficult to keep up with ever-changing statutory employment law and legislation changes.
But it’s important to get things right for both your employees and for your business. The risk of facing large fines, penalties or even a criminal record for non-compliance is high, not to mention the reputational damage it could cause.
Your compliance policies need to adapt to your growing business, and just some areas that need policies are:
Equal opportunities
Employee relations
Health and safety
Equality and diversity
Data Protection
Anti-bribery & Money Laundering
At Pace, we take ownership for ensuring that your business is doing all the right things when it comes to your role as an employer, supporting you to deal with potential issues before they escalate into serious problems.
We will also be at the other end of the phone and email, to answer any compliance questions – to give you that peace of mind.
Another benefit is that we don’t charge the same as an employment lawyer, the clock isn’t ticking – it’s therefore much more cost-effective to work with a dedicated HR consultancy, who knows your business.
4. You’ll free up time to spend on your business
Managing HR can be time consuming, and even small businesses can have a lot of administrative work to deal with. Things like recruiting staff, managing payroll and developing policies in-line with legislation take a lot of time that most business owners simply don’t have.
It can even be difficult for an in-house HR department to juggle all the different tasks and responsibilities that can be involved in a growing organisation – no matter how talented they are.
Outsourcing helps you win back the time you would otherwise spend trying to figure these things out, allowing you to focus on the things that you do best!
5. You’ll save money
When you hire an in-house HR team you need to pay for individual salaries, along with the office space, equipment and the software required for them to do the job effectively. And the bigger your business grows, the more HR staff you will need to employ.
Outsourcing means that you will only pay for what you need.
At Pace, we create bespoke packages to suit every business – whether you’re a small start-up or a larger, established organisation.
Some clients choose to outsource their day-to-day HR administration, freeing time to focus on more strategic aspects of their business. Others get us on board to help with specific projects. There is a solution for everyone.
Cost savings also come from the fact that your HR department is running smoothly and efficiently – we’re here to help you avoid any costly delays or mistakes!
