We have one HR Director to handle all the functions of the department and I was curious to see what other areas businesses outsource to make the time and efficiency of the position operate at its full potential. Communication appears to be a component that cannot be outsourced. An effective department of one in the HR arena has to keep their communication skills at the top of the list of priorities "communication is essential in a one-person HR department because no one is there to back you up if you do not or cannot communicate effectively. During change efforts, poor communication can lead to loss of confidence from the leadership team (particularly as to HR's effectiveness and value), loss of trust from employees, and mistakes in the change process affecting time, cost and effectiveness" (Jones, 2016).

Lori,
I cut my HR teeth on the Employers' Association. I
used them more for consultation on specific projects, and they have a good
hotline. I haven't used them for too many outsourced functions, although
if I get to that point they would be my first choice.
AIM seems to be more involved on the legislative level,
advocating for employer issues in the Commonwealth. They are a good
resource for information and I've be satisfied with the training sessions I've
attended, but I've never outsourced to them.
Good luck. Let me know if you have any other questions,
Kathleen
