Risk Management
Labor costs account for one of the largest operating expenses in a business. Other costs can
include workers’ compensation insurance, recruiting fees, payroll processing and legal costs.
According to PriceWaterhouse Coopers, companies that manage payroll, workforce administration
and time and attendance in-house, spend an average of 18% more administering these functions
than organizations that outsource.*
*HR Affiliates
One subpar employee can throw an entire department into disarray. Outsourcing allows businesses
to convert fixed costs into variable costs, release capital for investment elsewhere, start new
projects quickly and avoid large expenditures in every stage of the business.
A bad hire could cost anywhere from $25,000 to $300,000, depending upon the position.
