In today’s competitive environment, every company is challenged to maximize profits and improve efficiencies. One of the key ways to accomplish these goals is through your workforce. With the evolving changes that the inland river transportation industry is now facing, many companies lack the time, resources, and knowledge to effectively manage their workforce. We can offer you the HR knowledge and experience to help you make the crucial decisions that will give your company the competitive edge.
Outsourcing your HR functions makes good business sense because it offers you:
- Cost savings – staffing a fully functional HR department is a fixed cost and can easily exceed over $100,000 a year. Outsourcing HR functions is a variable cost which provides more flexibility based on your business needs.
- Risk Management – not only do employment laws change regularly, but laws and regulations specific to the industry are sometimes difficult to interpret. Unless you hire an attorney, very few HR professionals will be familiar with these laws that impact the industry.
- Objectivity – there is value to your HR team being independent of your organization. Since we are outsourced, we can offer you objective guidance and support.
- Superior quality of service –you will always find us to be efficient, effective, and responsive to your needs.
