HR
Organisations often drastically underestimate the cost of bought-in HR services (which can be several times the cost of the internal HR department). Our in-depth reviews can be a real eye opener. The HR directors we work with usually quickly realise that our specialists can help them not only manage HR costs but also deliver a better service.
Whether we are resourcing staffing services, company cars, healthcare, training, pensions or benefits, a robust buying strategy can yield great benefits.
Temporary staff provision is a good illustration of the benefits of specialist knowledge. We help clients negotiate complex employment legislation, and ensure they hire high-quality people: a bad hire, even into a temporary role, can prove very costly.
We get under the skin of a client’s hiring practice, to understand their needs and objectives. This means that when we are putting deals together with agencies they are built on strong foundations.
Some of the key ways we deliver commercial benefits are by establishing:
- preferred supplier arrangements, with robust service level agreements and well-negotiated contracts
- cost transparency that reveals the true cost of agency services
- benchmarked rates to deliver quick wins.
buyingTeam helps clients avoid hidden fees or nasty surprises (such as high temp-to-perm fees). We support clients to evaluate strategic sourcing options, and help them navigate the ever-developing technological options.
