Call to Learn About the Benefits of Fractional HR

What is a Fractional HR Officer?

When you hire a fractional HR officer, you get a part-time contractor who comes in to fulfill HR duties on an as-needed basis. The terms of that depend on your specific business and what makes the most sense for you.

Fractional HR officers can handle any HR needs a full-time one would, such as:

  • Conflict management
  • Hiring
  • Management trainings
  • Salary negotiations

Fractional HR Officers, like all HR services, can be utilized as often as necessary. If you need ongoing HR support, HR, etc. provides that.

If you just need occasional HR supplementation, you can contract a fractional HR officer for specific and one-off needs, like a single job search or specific risk management training.

Why Would You Want a Fractional HR Officer?

Many smaller businesses don’t have the budget for a full-time HR officer. This leads to HR duties being split among other employees, who oftentimes don’t have adequate HR training.

A fractional HR officer has the training necessary to complete HR duties as well as train your employees on HR best practices.

Fractional HR services in East Texas offer you all the benefits of an HR professional without the financial burden of a full-time human resources officer.

Fractional HR Officers Help Mitigate Risk

How detailed is your employee handbook? Do your employees understand your office's best practices? Have you even communicated best practices to your employees?

Fractional HR officers can analyze your potential liabilities and work with you to mitigate risk. HR, etc. will help you communicate your office policies clearly to your employees while suggesting ways to improve the policies currently in place.

Even if you have an employee handling HR, how well-trained are they? Unless you have a full-time, experienced HR professional, chances are your HR team needs more training.

HR, etc. can optimize your current setup and train your employees on the HR best practices that make sense for your organization.

You may be opening yourself up to potential liability and litigation without even knowing it. Let HR, etc. analyze your policies and offer solutions to safeguard your business.

Fractional HR vs. HR Consultant

HR Consultants are Temporary

HR consultants tend to come in for one visit. In that one visit, they’ll assess your company, make recommendations, and then leave. Whether you agree with their assessment or not, you’ve already paid them, and they’ve already left.

A fractional HR officer can build relationships with clients, visiting as often as the client’s needs dictate. You can’t assess a company’s culture properly in one visit, which is why fractional HR in East Texas is so appealing.

Fractional HR Takes the Time to Understand Your Business

HR consultants aren’t meant to work with you long-term. You see them once, but you may never see them again. They aren’t around your company long enough to understand the nuances of your work and your culture.

A fractional HR officer can be around as often as you like, which allows them to understand your company instead of trying to offer a blanket set of proposed changes after spending a day or two in your office.

How Does HR, etc. Work?

We operate on a hybrid model. This means we can work in your office or remotely.

When we’re analyzing your handbook and policies, you may not need us in the office.

When you want us to give a presentation on workplace conflict or HR best practices, though, we can come to you. Your employees probably don’t want to hear another presentation over Zoom, anyway.

If you need in-person HR services in Tyler, Longview, Athens, or anywhere in greater East Texas, we can come to you.

If you prefer a little more flexibility, we can operate completely remotely or combine occasional in-person visits with calls and virtual services.
