To HR or Not to HR? |
|
Businesses are faced with the question of how much to invest in Human Resources (HR), starting with "Do I need to have a dedicated HR department. But in today's competitive business world, does it pay to invest in a human resources (HR) department? |
|
Why do companies have an HR department? A good HR department will address the following: |
|
Workforce planning and employment |
|
Development of human capital |
|
Total rewards for human capital |
|
Employee and labour relations |
|
Risk management |
|
 |
Larger businesses will usually choose a dedicated HR department. Large developed organisations, especially those with wide ethnic, racial, generational, socio-economic, educational and professional diversity of employees population, need a department focused solely on people, human–capital professionals intimately familiar with the day-to-day inner workings of operations, and the capacity to be proactive to challenges and changing requirements." |
|
|
But for many SME's HR is a secondary responsibility for the Managing Director's PA or the CFO. A company with only 10 people, little to no attrition, struggling for financial solubility and depending primarily on a CFO might be better off outsourcing the employment of Staff, and payroll administration to a Company like Gemini and delegating the talent management and employee-relations responsibilities to an office manager. |
|
Outsourcing staff and payroll |
|
Gemini's Outsourcing and Temporary Division are able to provide a range of choices to employers. |
|
Many of our clients need additional staff but are faced with a headcount freeze. Outsourcing the employment of staff to Gemini provides them with a low risk source of manpower, and no committed increase in headcount. Additional benefits of this approach include the automatic replacement of staff who decide to move on. |
|
By using Gemini's payroll services, companies are saved the administration associated with preparing employee tax returns, generating weekly or monthly payslips, management of a Mandatory Provident Fund. Even the hiring and firing process can be delegated to Gemini. |
|
Gemini also assists Companies who are setting up in Hong Kong, or which do not have an entity in Hong Kong. For example one US based client with a sizeable manufacturing business in China, employs a regional sales manager who is based in Hong Kong. He is legally employed by Gemini, who manage payment of wages, travel expenses and MPF contribution, while he performs his duties for the manufacturing business. This arrangement has been operating successfully for some years and has saved the client company from the expense and inconvenience of setting up another Company in Hong Kong solely to employ one individual. |
|
There is no one size fits all solution. Only this week Gemini has signed arrangement with a major sourcing company for simultaneous recruitment of in house managers, and to avoid further increase in headcount outsourced employment of production staff using Gemini's recruitment and payroll service. |
|
Gemini acts as the employer and handle all the human resources function including contract preparation, payroll, MPF, tax returns, employee compensation insurance and leave coverage in compliance with the employment ordinance. |
