In Sourcing, Recruitment

In-sourcing HR Expertise – Success Story

HR Footprints has successfully executed yet another BOT (Build – Operate – Transfer) assignment for a medium sized organization in India. This organization is headquartered in Europe and is having global presence including India. What started as a 6-month assignment continued for about 2 years with intense engagement in strengthening the HR system. Why did the organization decide to in-source HR expertise? This is an important question. Did they not have any HR expertise? What triggered the need to in-source? What benefits did they expect with this in-sourcing? The organization has been running the operations and managing the basic people matters with the available internal knowledge. With the emerging clarity on the future growth plans, the top leadership identified the people imperative and that is when they decided to quickly initiate a special thrust on HR. They wanted more transparency, professional management of people processes, communicating the performance expectations and bringing in more competency-based people decisions. All this meant a humungous transformation. The existing HR team was fully occupied with many operational aspects, and the organization needed a quick take-off on the bigger agenda. The leadership felt that in-sourcing HR expertise is a quicker way, instead of building an entire HR team internally. HR Footprints fitted their need with its ready-to-deploy knowledge base and long years of experience in organizational transformation. When HR Footprints team stepped in, the first action was to take stock of what was existing and what needs to be created. It was then we realized the agenda required more than 6-months engagement. With carefully crafted transition strategy, HR Footprints team rolled out key initiatives over the two year engagement. With this quick ramp up, now the organization is happy to get an HR leader to sustain and enhance these efforts. HR Footprints team happily facilitated the transfer of knowledge and will continue to be available for any hand-holding on a need basis. That is how HR Footprints team added another success story to its track record. Our Mantra: When you in-source HR expertise, you do not ‘outsource’ the activity. It is different. It brings in agility, expertise and professionalism to the change process. Structured transformation and more importantly making it sustainable has been our mantra at HR Footprints!

Temporary Staffing vs. Permanent Hiring: The Dilemma of Staffing Choices

In the ever-evolving realm of business, the question of whether to hire permanent employees or embrace the adaptability of temporary staffing solutions has become increasingly pertinent. Each avenue comes with its own set of merits and factors to consider. In this article, we’ll delve into the intricacies of this decision-making process, guiding you to recognize why, more often than not, temporary staffing emerges as the optimal choice over permanent hiring. Temporary Staffing: The Flexibility Advantage: Over time, temporary staffing has surged in popularity, and for a good reason—it offers a level of flexibility that can be a game-changer for your business. Whether your company encounters seasonal spikes in demand, embarks on short-term projects, or simply requires agile resources for a limited duration, temporary staffing stands as a dependable solution. Advantages of Temporary Staffing: Flexibility: Temporary staff can be swiftly brought on board when needed, enabling you to adjust your workforce in response to changing demands. Cost-Effectiveness: Temporary staffing helps mitigate overhead costs, such as benefits and training expenses, commonly associated with permanent hires. Specialized Skills: For projects necessitating specific expertise, temporary staff can provide the skills you require without committing to a long-term employment arrangement. Permanent Hiring: A Long-Term Endeavor Conversely, permanent hiring represents an investment in your company’s future. It involves identifying team members who will grow alongside your business and contribute to its sustained triumph. Advantages of Permanent Hiring: Company Culture: Permanent employees have the chance to deeply assimilate into your company culture, aligning themselves with your values and long-range objectives. Stability: Opting for permanent employees ensures a stable workforce, diminishing the need for repetitive recruitment and training cycles. Long-Term Loyalty: Employees who share a vested interest in your company’s expansion are more likely to remain committed and contribute over the years. When to Choose What? Key Considerations Project Duration: Assess the timeline of your project or business needs. Temporary staffing is tailor-made for brief-term initiatives with predefined conclusions, a stark contrast to the enduring commitment of permanent hiring Skill Requirements: Evaluate the specific skill set crucial for the role. Temporary staff shine when it comes to delivering specialized skills for a finite period, all without the extended commitment of permanent hires Budgetary Constraints: Keep your budget in mind. While temporary staffing may offer initial cost savings, permanent hires could offer superior ROI over time due to their enduring contribution to your company’s growth. Workload Fluctuations: Temporary staff is the answer when your business experiences regular shifts in workload. They provide the flexibility to address spikes in demand without overwhelming your permanent workforce. In the end, the choice between temporary staffing and permanent hiring hinges upon your individual circumstances and business aspirations. Temporary staffing excels in short-term projects, seasonal demands, and specialized roles, while permanent hiring offers stability and loyalty in key positions. Temporary staffing’s adaptability, cost-effectiveness, and skill-targeting make a compelling case, aligning seamlessly with dynamic business needs.

Today, we’re thrilled to share a story illuminating how short-term staffing can blossom into lasting achievements. Let’s take a journey through the steps that demonstrate how our approach transforms short-term collaborations into enduring victories. A Glimpse of Our Client and Their Requirement We partnered with a reputed skincare product manufacturer with a keen eye for innovation and a commitment to quality. They faced a unique challenge – requiring experienced sales representatives for a specialized project set in the scenic landscapes of Jammu & Kashmir. However, the project had a fixed duration of 12 months, making traditional long-term hiring impractical. Our mission was clear: to help them navigate their staffing requirements efficiently while keeping options open for future commitments. Step 1: Deploying Representatives at Client Site: We took on the project and deployed dedicated 4-member team at the location. Each individual demonstrated their expertise and effortlessly integrated into the project, showcasing their professionalism and commitment Step 2: Seamless Onboarding & HR Documentation: Our strategy? We embarked on a seamless onboarding journey. We meticulously managed HR formalities, including issuing short-term contracts and setting up the Employee Self-Service portal. We also verified all necessary documents, ensuring a smooth transition for both our contractual staff and our client. Step 3: Comprehensive Employee Life Cycle Management & Statutory Compliance: As the project unfolded, our commitment extended to managing the entire employee life cycle. From performance monitoring to adhering to statutory compliance, we ensured that our contractual staff was well-supported throughout their engagement. Step 4: Timely Salaries, Payslips, and Health Insurances: We provided more than just professional growth. Our temporary staff received consistent salaries, timely payslips, and comprehensive health insurance benefits. This fostered a sense of security and well-being among our associates. Step 5: Smooth Exit Process Before Transitioning to Contract-to-Hire: As the project’s culmination drew near, we had garnered invaluable insights. Our client had experienced firsthand the commitment and capabilities of our contractual staff. Now, the stage was set for the next step. Step 6: Transitioning from Short-Term to Long-Term: Building on the trust developed during the short-term engagement, our client made a strategic decision. Those who had been part of the short-term project seamlessly transitioned into permanent roles within their organization. And there you have it – a temporary project that blossomed into a stepping stone for enduring success. Our client could evaluate potential hires deeply before making commitments, while our temporary staff embarked on a promising career trajectory.

Sourcing without Borders

Weren’t things simpler and easier in sourcing, before the Covid-19 pandemic? Maybe. But it was even never that simple to find and source the right talent with the restrictions of locations, work timings, and many more. The pandemic and work from home have enabled us to break the barriers and find the right talent across states and countries.  The pandemic has changed the way we look for people and source them. Let’s see how: Adapted workforce planning needs:  Agility and transformation are two of the biggest factors for success moving forward –a trend that certainly expects to remain as we come out of Covid-19.  Contingent talent pool:  We fully expect to see firms focus on “Sourcing without borders” where key skills are valued over location or travel abilities. Barrier breaking move: The shift towards flexible working practices from a rigid structure can see a focus on purely skill-based sourcing across a wide range of offices, professionals, and technical portions where management focuses on getting the resources on board to do the job necessary for the result.  StaffOn, our staffing services company has been helping organizations to find the right talent and maintain 100% compliance.  For more details or collaboration, please do write to bhupesh@staffon.in Visit our staffing services Site: Click here
