Questions about this service
Can HR be outsourced by a small UK business?
Yes. An owner-managed business with no senior HR leader on the payroll can hand its HR to an outside specialist. With The HR Doctor, a senior HR consultant learns how your business works, delivers the work you choose, from contracts and policies to performance, absence and pay, and advises your managers day to day.
What are the steps to outsource HR to The HR Doctor?
There are three steps. The free HR Health Check gives a quick reading in under a minute. The paid HR Health Review then works through 56 questions, scores your HR and shows what to fix first. A Lite, Pro or Partnership Package delivers the work, with daily HR advice from a senior consultant, 12 months rolling.
What HR services can be outsourced?
Contracts, policies, redundancy, dismissal processes, harassment prevention, hiring, onboarding, absence, performance management and pay can all be outsourced to The HR Doctor. The work sits in three Offers: Compliance and Risk, Performance and People, and Reward. Day-to-day advice for your managers runs alongside whichever work you choose.
What is the difference between an HR helpline and done-for-you HR?
A helpline answers your question and leaves the work, and the risk, with you. Done-for-you HR means the consultant also does the work: drafting the contracts, building the framework and advising your managers on live cases. Every HR Doctor Package gives you both: daily advice from a senior consultant and defined outcomes delivered for you.
Is outsourced HR right for a business with 20 to 50 staff?
Often, yes. A business of 20 to 50 people is the likeliest to have no in-house HR and to have the owner doing the people work alongside running the company. Outsourced HR gives that business a senior consultant who knows its people, without adding a full-time HR post to the payroll.
What are HR managed services?
HR managed services mean an outside specialist runs your HR as an ongoing service, rather than answering one-off questions. The aim is to reduce operational costs, improve efficiency and give you strategic support towards your core business aims, without adding a full-time HR post.
