HR Force

FAQs

1. Question 1

   In addition to the cost argument, are there any further grounds and advantages that speak in favour of HR outsourcing?
   Introducing outsourcing only because of the cost argument is a fatal error.
   It is essential that some of the following arguments are also present:

   Independence of the company from individual persons

   Protection from absences due to illness, maternity leave, holiday, etc.

   More flexible costs thanks to payment of the services that are claimed, e.g. payrolls implemented monthly

   Lower investment outlay for software and technology

   Greater data security thanks to a professional data centre

   Maintaining program expertise within the company is not required

   The obtainment of more time for important, strategic tasks

   Lower head count

   The realisation of changes in addition the payroll that would not be possible to realise internally

2. Question 2

   What should I pay attention to when choosing a service provider?
   The experience and professionalism of the service provider (references and completed outsourcing projects)

   The professionalism of the contracts (service level, response times, contract period and settlement arrangements)

   Investment security in HR systems
   (e.g. the scope for upgrading or ex­pan­ding the system when client require­ments change)

   Does the service provider offer support during the preliminary phase for out­sourcing?

   Does the service provider understand your requirements or do they try to sell you their standard services?

3. Question 3

   What distinguishes HR Force from other outsourcing service providers?
   HR Force is a 100% Austrian company. Its expertise has not been adapted to Austrian needs, but developed in Austria. Nevertheless, the people performing the work have international project expe­ri­ence.

   The expertise of HR Force as the leading provider of SAP ERP HCM imple­men­ta­tion forms an unmatched foundation for this area of activity. This makes it possible for any company to transfer
   their HR management requirements to an experienced partner and obtain the advantage of integrated SAP ERP HCM solutions at the same time.

   Companies that would like to switch to SAP ERP HCM will find a broad spectrum of professional services at HR Force.

4. Question 4

   When is the right time outsourcing my payroll and how much lead time do I need to allow for?
   Complex transfers (companies with over 1000 employees, complex collective agreements and large operating agree­ments that have increased over time,
   and possible resistance from staff) and com­plete system overhauls are best performed at the start of a new year. A lead time of at least six months must be taken into account.

   However, outsourcing often takes place due to an emergency situation such as the unexpected absence of HR staff due to maternity leave, illness, etc. In such cases, realisations during the year are also possible within two to three months.

   In general, the more active the client’s support and the more willing the client is to cooperate, the shorter the lead time will be.

   However, we do recommend outsourcing HR tasks proactively and not reactively.
