HR Outsourcing Services

Our HR outsourcing service provides a tailored HR solution where we position ourselves within your business for designated hours every week.  This setup provides your team with direct, on-site access to expert guidance and assistance regarding all aspects of people and culture.

By being physically present on-site, we can proactively address issues, offer strategic insights, and facilitate effective communication, ultimately contributing to a more cohesive and productive work environment.

In the initial phase of our collaboration, we carry out a client discovery session. This allows us to gather essential insights into the current HR dynamics and understand your priorities. The outcomes from these discovery phases allows us to craft a bespoke HR strategy that aligns with your business goals and prioritise key focus areas.

Our partnership approach ensures the HR strategy we develop addresses both the immediate and long-term needs of your business.

We collaborate with you to refine your remuneration and benefits approach, ensuring they're competitive and reflect your company's mission. By leveraging market insights, we craft strategies that attract and retain talent while maintaining financial viability.

Our role extends to effectively communicating these benefits to your people, emphasising their value in supporting both professional and personal growth. This approach boosts employee satisfaction and positions your company as a preferred employer.

Our employee engagement survey process starts with a custom-designed survey to gather meaningful feedback from your staff.  We then analyse this data to identify the levels of engagement and satisfaction, leading to a strategic action plan developed in collaborative workshops with your key stakeholders. This plan is focused on addressing the insights gained and creating an action plan based on areas of priority from your survey.

In the second phase, we support the design and implementation of HR initiatives identified in the action plan to enhance engagement further. Continuous feedback is gained through ongoing Pulse Surveys, allowing us to monitor engagement metrics closely and make timely adjustments.

We partner with our clients to identify key talent needs and develop strategies to attract, retain, and develop the right people. Our approach includes performance management, leadership development, and succession planning, all tailored to enhance your team's capabilities and readiness for future challenges.

Our human resources outsourcing services extend beyond strategy development; we also provide practical tools and guidance for implementing effective talent management practices. This includes creating engaging employee development programs and establishing clear career paths that motivate and retain high performers.

As your human resources outsourcing partner, we assist in crafting and implementing comprehensive wellbeing initiatives that address the physical, mental, and emotional health of your workforce. By conducting thorough needs assessments, we identify specific areas where support is most needed, creating tailored programs that promote a healthy work-life balance, stress management, and overall employee wellness.

Our services range from developing wellness workshops and fitness challenges to offering resources for mental health support. We aim to foster a supportive environment where your people feel valued and have access to the tools they need to maintain their wellbeing.

Our recruitment support services are designed to streamline the hiring process for you, ensuring you are positioned to attract and retain the best talent for your business.

We offer a comprehensive suite of services, including job description development, writing & placing job adverts, screening candidates, conducting initial interviews, and facilitating the final hiring steps.  We then support your onboarding process to integrate your new employee into your business.

HR outsourcing services involve hiring external specialists to handle various human resource functions that would typically be managed in-house. These services can range from payroll processing, recruitment, and employee benefits management to compliance with employment laws, training and development, and employee relations. By outsourcing these tasks, businesses can access expert support, streamline operations, and focus on their core activities while ensuring their HR needs are effectively managed.

The cost of HR outsourcing in New Zealand can vary widely depending on the scope of services required, the size of the business, and the specific needs of the organisation. Some HR outsourcing providers charge a flat monthly fee, which can range from a few hundred to several thousand New Zealand dollars (NZD), depending on the services offered. Alternatively, some providers may charge based on the number of employees or specific tasks performed and some, like us at People & Culture, have different tier levels that work based on the level of support you require each month and each tier has different hourly rates.

It's important to get a customised quote that reflects your business's unique needs. You can book a free consultation with People & Culture to get a customised quote that works within your budget.

Outsourcing HR can be a very good idea for many businesses, especially those that lack the resources to manage HR functions in-house. It allows companies to access specialised expertise, ensure compliance with ever-changing employment laws, and free up time to focus on core business activities. Outsourcing can also be more cost-effective than maintaining an in-house HR team, particularly for small to medium-sized businesses. However, it’s essential to choose the right HR outsourcing provider to ensure they align with your company culture and business goals.

Payroll processing is the most commonly outsourced HR function. Managing payroll can be complex and time-consuming, and errors can have significant legal and financial consequences. By outsourcing payroll, businesses can ensure accuracy, compliance with tax regulations, and timely payments, all while freeing up internal resources to focus on other strategic HR activities.
