Fractional human resources (HR) is sometimes referred to as part-time HR, outsourced HR or interim HR. The term “fractional” refers to getting all the benefits of a regular "head of HR" or team tailored to the needs of a small to medium-sized organization. The fractional model may be right for you if you are a small to mid-sized company that cannot always commit to a full-time resource, either from a cost or volume of work perspective. A fractional HR consultant is a readily available, flexible and seamless part of a leadership team, a driving force to the success of your business and directly available for employees. This is the new norm and trend since post pandemic has challenged businesses to pivot quickly with fewer resources and reduced headcount.
Tailored HR Support – Choose the level of HR involvement based on your business size and needs. Many smaller businesses do not need full-time support on a regular basis. That support many ebb and flow, fractional HR allows you that flexibility.
Support During Transitions – Ideal for companies scaling up, restructuring, or facing leadership changes.
On-Demand HR Expertise – Get guidance on specific HR challenges without long-term commitments
Ease of Severability - If the consulting business arrangement ends there are no added expenses typically incurred with full time employees such as severance, unemployment liability, etc.
Lower Costs – A fractional HR leader provides expertise at a fraction of the cost of a full-time HR executive.
No Overhead – No need to cover salaries, benefits, or office space.
Scalable Support – Pay for only the HR services you need, whether it's a few hours per week or project-based.
A quick example, a full-time HR leader including base salary and benefits can easily exceed $200,000 per year. The fractional model typically is 40% of that expense. Of course, that expense varies based on services necessary.
Consultants and contingent workers - can be accrued differently than regular full-time employees and as a result are not recorded as fixed overhead.
Streamlined HR Processes – Optimize onboarding, payroll, benefits administration, and performance management.
Culture & Employee Engagement – Develop policies that create a positive workplace culture and increase productivity.
HR Tech & Systems – Implement the best HR software for automation, analytics, and efficiency.
Strategic HR Leadership – Get the insights of an HR Director or CHRO without the full-time commitment.
Compliance & Risk Management – Ensure your business stays compliant with labor laws, reducing the risk of penalties and lawsuits.
Talent Acquisition & Retention – Build an effective hiring strategy and improve employee retention.
Stay Up-to-Date on Labor Laws – Compliance with state and federal regulations (e.g., FMLA, FLSA, EEOC, OSHA).
HR Documentation & Policies – Ensure employee handbooks, contracts, and workplace policies are legally sound.
Conflict Resolution – Mitigate employee disputes, terminations, and HR-related legal risks.
