OUTSOURCED HR MANAGEMENT

It is obvious to suggest that HR is the crux of any organization.  Ineffective service delivery by internal HR departments can materially affect organizational performance.  As a result, outsourcing of the HR function has, in recent years, become commonplace worldwide, as more and more companies of all sizes have realised the benefits of utilizing specialists in this critical and often under-resourced area.  Outsourcing places the responsibility for the continuous improvement of a company's enablement strategies and support functions in the hands of a provider, whose core competence is human capital management.

Saraswati is geared to manage the entire HR function on behalf of the client, or any component of the client’s organisation.  Having managed the HR Departments for organisations like ELB Engineering, Rubric Consulting, A-Z Engineering, inter alia, some of the specific services are:

• Complete Payroll Management

• Competency Profiling and Assessment
• Performance Management and Appraisal
• Employment Equity Policy Drafting and Implementation

• Specialized Recruitment.
