It’s a win-win!

At a time when most businesses are under enormous pressure to cut costs, create new growth opportunities and restructure for survival, the key to success is often in the commitment and performance of your employees, as it is them who will help your business to thrive again.

The Employee Benefits Research 2020 published in May surveyed 269 HR decision-makers and found that just under half (47%) of employers say their budget is their biggest barrier for not improving employee engagement levels. A further 43% believed a lack of time and resource was another barrier for not putting employee experience at the forefront of their business structure.

Below, we outline exactly how we can help you transform your business by cutting your costs and streamlining your back-office functions as well as boosting your employee engagement offering with blue-chip benefits.

What is outsourcing?

Outsourcing is the practice of using another company to manage tasks that are traditionally handled in-house. For many businesses, this includes financial and HR services such as payroll, pension auto-enrolment, recruitment services and accounting.

Why outsource your payroll and employment administration to HIVE360?

You are experts in your chosen business not in payroll and employment administration, so why carry the internal overhead and compliance burden?

Partnering with HIVE360 allows you to hand over this often complex and time-intensive responsibility to an expert with a proven track record of compliance, efficiency and excellence.  But we will give you so much more than a reliable service, we will enhance your employment offering to your people.

By outsourcing through Hive360, you can focus on your business and leave HR admin, Payroll and other services to the experts. Here’s how we can help:

Offering a cost-neutral solution

Our total outsourced payroll solution and unique approach mean clients experience a ‘cost neutral’ impact on their operation and depending on current arrangements, can also see significant cost savings. By outsourcing, you can change fixed costs into variable costs depending on your business’s needs, which enables you to spend your capital on growing your business instead.

Working with HIVE360 will reduce the burden on your internal resources by lowering overhead costs. This is particularly useful for small to medium-sized businesses that require HR and payroll services but do not have the resources to hire an entire team to perform these. Finding and hiring a dedicated and trained team to handle these tasks can come at a premium, not just costing you money but also a valuable time when trying to find the right staff to fill these positions. This financial outlay can then be spent on more important areas of your business.

It is increasingly important to keep up with the ever-changing employment landscape, which can encompass risk management, payroll and pension auto-enrolment. If the continual legislative and compliance changes aren’t followed, then you could receive costly fines. By outsourcing to a team that is dedicated to staying up to date and ensuring you are always working to best practice, it will also prevent you from making any costly mistakes.
