Overwhelmed by heavy HR duties? Try leaving inner-office issues to outside experts.
Kim Dushinski had had enough. A partner in MarketAbility Inc., a
Golden, Colorado, book publicity firm, she had spent too many hours
struggling to fill out personnel forms for the company's four
employees. "Human resources isn't what I want to do or
know how to do, and it's not how we bring in revenues,"
she says.
Then she heard about outsourced human resources, where specialty
consulting firms take over the HR duties of a business. So the
33-year-old entrepreneur contracted with an outside firm to handle
MarketAbility's human resources needs--from payroll to
administering a health insurance program and a 401K plan. The
monthly fee Dushinski pays to have this company handle all the HR
chores is less than $50 per employee. Although she'd initially
hesitated to spend that money, nowadays Dushinski says, "I
feel relieved of a burden and our business is doing
great!"
