Outsourced HR processes typically cover tasks like payroll, leave tracking, and the administration involved in onboarding or offboarding employees. These activities often require significant effort and ongoing attention. But the biggest challenge is that they take up your internal HR team’s time, leaving them with less capacity for strategic initiatives, soft HR activities, or building your employer brand.
In other words, they prevent your business from focusing on what matters most: growing with the best-qualified, most talented employees.
Why outsource your HR processes?
If your HR team is short on staff but heavy on admin tasks, outsourcing can provide the equivalent of a full-time colleague to handle these responsibilities. It also ensures compliance with labor regulations, which can otherwise be time-consuming to track and manage.
What tasks are best suited for outsourcing?
- Keeping up with labor law requirements and ensuring compliance
- Managing employee files and e-HR tools
- Drafting and managing employee contracts
- Organizing and tracking employee medical checks
- Assisting with visas, work permits, and residency permits for employees and executives
- Providing guidance on local European regulations and practices
- Administering payroll benefits
- Managing onboarding and offboarding processes
- Overseeing contract renewals
- Tracking leave, sick days, and parental leave
- Supporting termination processes
- Preparing HR management reports
- Helping with HR audits
- Providing on-site HR administrative services
- Operating an HR employee helpdesk
Hybrid, On-Site, and Remote Work Models
Many companies, perhaps yours included, have adopted business models where tasks can often be completed remotely. Hybrid solutions have become common, and the HR administration needed to support these models has evolved rapidly in recent years. In most cases, our experts can handle all HR admin tasks remotely, provided the client’s systems allow for it.
Still, there are situations where on-site HR services are necessary. For example, managing employee documentation or operating an HR helpdesk can often benefit from having a dedicated person in the office who’s ready to answer questions about contracts, pay slips, absence tracking, or leave policies.
Comprehensive Company Support
Outsourcing HR administration also brings a less obvious but valuable benefit: access to a wealth of expertise. When a company with a proven service model, like BPiON, handles your HR processes, you gain the collective knowledge of their entire team.
Imagine you encounter labor law or tax-related challenges that require specific expertise. Your dedicated HR specialist can consult with in-house labor lawyers and tax experts, or even scale up to include full-service support if needed.
The Benefits of Outsourcing HR Admin for Foreign Companies
When foreign businesses establish operations in Hungary, they often focus primaril on meeting financial and tax obligations. This approach, however, comes with a high risk of errors: HR-related tasks and reporting requirements may only be realized at the last minute. In such cases, outsourcing HR admin is an excellent solution. It ensures there’s at least one expert on your team who understands the Hungarian landscape, requirements, and opportunities. They’ll be familiar with local labor laws and practices, can draft legally compliant employment contracts, and assist in obtaining permits for relocating your employees.
