Dive Insight:
HR consulting services, like technology, are helping employers carry out payroll, benefits administration, talent management and compliance-related HR functions. Besides saving employers time and money, HR consulting services allow them to focus on key objectives, such as planning strategies for hiring, recruiting, training and benefits.
Some smaller businesses and startups may opt for consulting services instead of complete, in-house HR services, which may also account for some growth.
As HR technology continues its march to the cloud, more HR leaders may be seeking guidance and assistance in adapting to new trends. A report like Technavio’s can be invaluable for organizations that are involved in, or learning how to, navigate procurement processes and procedures.
