Aberdeen’s recently published The 2011 HR Executive’s Agenda benchmark report (December 2010) revealed that the top barrier hindering HR’s ability to be strategic to business objectives is ‘too much time spent on day to day tactical activities.’ This was cited by 52% of the HR and business executives surveyed. Previously in Aberdeen’s annual core HR report (August 2010), the third highest ranked pressure driving investment in core HR is ‘regulation forcing tighter compliance’. Aberdeen also found that more than half the companies in that study outsource some HR processes (such as payroll, benefits, etc.) without sacrificing employee service or business outcomes. This Research Report will examine data from nearly 170 companies in the small and mid-size segment (up to 250 in headcount) to determine whether working with a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) is a valid alternative to managing HR processes in-house.
