Human Resources Services
Our human resource services are ideal for small- to medium-size businesses overwhelmed by, or simply not trained to carry out, the day-to-day tasks related to administering benefits, recruiting candidates, onboarding new hires, and managing HR-specific projects.
Our fee structure is based either on a recurring monthly basis or a project basis.
Here is a list of tasks we can take off your plate, so you have more time to focus on your core business.
Using ARI's HR consulting services allows our team to focus on its core business while having an expert at our disposal. As a result, we operate more efficiently on a day-to-day basis and I am comfortable that we are avoiding procedural and regulatory missteps due to a lack of HR expertise within our entrepreneurial firm.
No matter what size your company, you need HR expertise to effectively manage in today’s rapidly changing environment.
When you’re navigating various responsibilities like employee training, termination, hiring, and employee relations, you may not need a full-time person; a qualified, outsourced HR consultant can make CHRO- (chief human resources officer) level expertise affordable for your business.
What is the advantage of outsourcing my Human Resources function?
Many small- to mid-sized organizations typically have someone who is “handling” HR duties in addition to many other responsibilities. In some cases, this responsibility falls to the company owner or executive.
ARI can be a cost-effective resource to ensure your organization complies with state and federal laws and regulations, maintains ongoing communication with employees, and implements best practices around HR processes and procedures.
Outsourcing the HR function also provides consistency, which can reduce liability, improve company culture and employee morale, and enrich overall communication within your organization.
ARI will assume your organization’s administrative HR burden, thereby enabling owners and managers to focus on their core responsibilities.
How will you ensure my company is operating under best practices?
We will do a full review of your handbook, employee files, benefits, policies, and procedures, onboarding/offboarding, recruiting and compensation. We focus first on compliance and then make suggestions for best practices.
And, we stay up to date on constantly changing laws to ensure your organization remains in compliance. Having a seasoned HR professional on your side is a great way to reduce legal risk.
Here is a list of important things you need to know to ensure your organization is HR compliant.
How does ARI communicate with the employees, managers, and executives if you are not permanently on site?
We are accessible to our clients via phone, email, virtual meetings, or onsite visits whenever needed. We understand that situations arise in the workplace that require immediate attention, and we are ready to jump in. Harnessing today’s technology, it is easy to be present even if we are not physically in your facility.
How can ARI help me with my recruiting efforts?
Recruiting top talent with the correct skill set and fits your organization’s culture can be challenging and time consuming. In small-to mid-sized organizations, much of the recruiting process falls on the manager’s shoulders preventing them from doing the work they were hired to do. ARI will assist in evaluating your recruitment process every step of the way, from when your position is approved until your new hire walks in, recommending any improvements throughout the process.
Whether you are a business owner, Executive Director, CEO, or a manager, your time is not best utilized by posting job openings, reviewing resumes, scheduling phone screens/interviews, preparing interview questions, checking references, and conducting background checks. ARI will handle all of the details related to recruiting – leaving managers free to interview only the most qualified candidates. Check out Five Best Practices to Acquire Top Talent in 2024.
Our team can also help onboard new employees to ensure their first days, weeks and months are a positive experience, minimizing turnover expenses and positioning them to succeed in your organization. Read our blog to find best practices for onboarding and offboarding employees.
