In an environment of constant change, many organizations are looking at new and innovative ways of improving the performance of their HR and controlling its cost at the same time. In the ideal company, HR professionals would help their company deliver growth by concentrating on strategy, planning and other ways of enhancing the business. Yet in reality, many large companies spend over half of their time on HR administrative duties. HRO can help companies stay ahead by overcoming the challenges of administrative overload and the multi-level complexities that face today’s HR departments.
Outsourcing of these key functions has generally been regarded as a method to streamline and reduce operating costs. At NorthgateArinso our outsourcing solutions also embrace this philosophy, but the strategic advantages gained through the use of our Integrated HR systems in an outsourced environment deliver far reaching business benefits.
Human resources outsourcing (HRO) takes traditional outsourcing one step further, with NorthgateArinso actually managing all of the administrative tasks of a company's HR, payroll and benefits departments. Whether you're seeking a global multi-process HR outsourcing solution or a local payroll outsourcing solution – or any combination in between – NorthgateArinso can help.

Consistent controls for HR excellence
NorthgateArinso constantly audits its HR outsourcing and payroll services following the SAS 70 audit methodology. The SAS 70 audit process helps NorthgateArinso in its strive for rendering high quality services efficiently to its clients.

Benefits of HRO with NorthgateArinso
-
Cost savings
Like all overhead costs, organizations will be keen to control overhead costs such as payroll as much as possible. If resources can be freed up they can be invested elsewhere - in areas that can deliver more added value.
-
Economies of scale
Economies of scale mean major service providers can deliver savings to you. In even the largest companies, it is hard to achieve economies of scale comparable to focused and specialized outsourcing providers.
-
Future-proof
Mergers and acquisitions, changing legislations, globalization and evolving financial and compliance regulations are just some of the challenges HR and payroll face. HR outsourcing allows you to hand over the responsibility for managing such risks to specialists with enough resources to monitor the situation and respond accordingly.
-
Greater flexibility
Because outsourcing providers invests heavily in training and process development, they are better placed to deliver flexible services.
-
Removal of risk
Through the outsourcing of HR processes, risks can be managed more effectively. NorthgateArinso takes over the administration of the process, taking on the responsibility for managing potentially damaging events.
-
Greater ability to achieve legislative compliance
Our solutions and services meet all legislation requirements in the geographies where we operate. Our people are qualified practitioners to ensure we deal with the implications on HR and payroll for all our outsourcing customers.
-
Guaranteed continuous staff expertise
HR and payroll departments are often relatively small so the exposure to risk should a staff member leave is great. Training, recruitment and staff retention is the service provider's responsibility, therefore levitating the worry of losing an internal team member.
-
Disaster recovery and data security
Our clients benefit from the contractual levels of security protecting data and stringent disaster recovery procedures in place.
NorthgateArinso's outsourced solutions remove the disadvantages created by disparate systems, ever-changing legislations, challenging compliance requirements, dynamic business environments, and the uncertainty of interfaces and data transfer. NorthgateArinso delivers functionally rich outsourced HR services that are supported by true HR and payroll professionals.
