The Importance of HR Offloading in the Healthcare Industry

Last week we discussed the importance of talent management software and how much time and money it can save you by recruiting the right talent. Not to mention the advantages of being able to seamlessly manage that talent! But, we also touched upon the need for multiple HR-related solutions.

Too often we see the owners of growing medical practices trying to wear all of the hats, when in reality the only hat they should be wearing is the “doctor hat!” You know the importance of focusing on your patients and providing them with the utmost care, and we know the importance of being able to let go of the reigns and offload HR.

Here are just 3 reasons to “let go”…

Outsourcing HR is an important cost-cutting measure: If you need to cut back on costs or even staff, you certainly cannot let go your practice’s medical professionals – you need them to treat patients! Outsourcing HR is a great way to ensure business still runs smoothly, and your patients remain entirely satisfied. Even if you are not experiencing a staff cutback, outsourcing HR will permit many of the employees within the office (including the office manager) to operate more efficiently and redefine their roles – they can refocus their efforts on growing the practice and recruiting new patients.
Headache-Free Compliance: You’re an expert in medicine, not employment law! Many medical practice owners choose to engage a PEO or an HRO for the sole purpose of eliminating headaches and ensuring employer compliance. In addition to the many other benefits PEOs and HR companies provide, PEOs protect – against costly lawsuits, against compliance failure, and against preventable workplace mistakes/accidents.
Technology: Employee management has its fair share of technology. From source of hire metrics to compliance-smart time tracking systems and payroll – there’s a lot to utilize and a lot to manage.

Leaving these functions up to HR experts permits you to focus on your core competencies.
