Access experienced HR support for operational and strategic priorities without the cost or commitment of another permanent internal role.

AugmentHR can act as your outsourced HR function, supplement an internal HR team, or provide specialist support for a defined project.

Instead of coordinating separate providers for compliance, compensation, payroll, training, employee relations, and outplacement, businesses can access broader HR expertise through one relationship.

AugmentHR can help implement policies, processes, training, documentation, and manager tools, not just provide advice.

Use project-based support, a Bank of Hours, or ongoing fractional HR depending on your business stage and needs.

Employment legislation is ever changing and so are your company’s HR needs. AugmentHR provides your company with more flexible and professional HR support. From smaller admin support to a larger team vision, our HR consultants have the expertise, experience and up-to-date know-how to help you get the day-to-day done more efficiently while helping you grow year-to-year.

Two factors when considering out-sourcing your HR: On one hand, you can get stuck tied down to expensive retainers or, conversely, pay a subscription fee that only gets you call centre-level support that doesn't get to know your business. On the other hand, under-spending on your HR with internal team members who have limited HR experience, can cost your company by failing to comply with ever-changing legislation. And additional headcount. AugmentHR has flexible HR service packages to fit every budget - all the while providing senior HR consultants with no commitment to retainers.

When HR outsourcing comes in the form of call centre, frankly it can’t. But AugmentHR’s team of dedicated, senior HR experts have worked in sectors ranging from veterinary businesses to pharmaceutical cannabis and every in between. So chances are, we know your sector and, better yet, we have the cross-learning experience to find the work-arounds so HR is more of a help than a hassle.

• Cost savings: If you only need HR 10% of the time, why pay the salary of an HR manager 100% of the time?
• Increased flexibility: Whether you have to fuel a growth phase or a seasonal business, HR outsourcing lets you get the HR help you need only when needed.
• Improved compliance: Helps you lower the risk of legal disputes or financial penalties through HR services like compliance audits.
• Access to expertise: Get access to senior consulting help and specialized knowledge such as the most benefits management programs or what compliance risks to worry about.
• Focus on core business: Letting you do what you do best while offloading the rest.

It depends on what stage your company is at (startups may want to outsource every HR function) but the most common HR functions outsourced to HR consulting firms aren’t a core activity of the company such as:

• Payroll processing
• Benefits administration
• Recruitment and onboarding
• Employee relations
• Training and development
• Compliance(e.g., labour law, safety)
• HR record keeping

Pricing models for HR outsourcing companies vary greatly. Some HR service providers provide payroll and basic HR services on a per-employee per-month basis. Other HR consulting firms offer monthly subscriptions call centre-level service or monthly retainer fees that can run into the tens of thousands. The downside of those is you get tied down to an expensive commitment. We recommend companies looking at HR outsourcing, purchase a package of hours with our Flexible HR Services Bundles that are offered in 10, 25 and 50-hour increments. There’s no timeframe to use the hours and you can pick any of our HR services as needed.

From payroll & talent acquisition experts to nationally recognized HR leaders and talent coaches, we have the team to augment your company with the custom HR expertise you need.
