3Sixty Insights Research Note: The Hidden Costs of Being the HR Hero

Analyst Report

Many small and mid-sized businesses don’t have the resources for a full-time HR professional. When HR responsibilities fall to finance leaders or administrators, it can leave HR reactive, stretched thin and disconnected from larger business goals.

This research note from 3Sixty Insights shares insights from three isolved partners who work alongside clients facing these challenges. Their stories highlight how outsourcing HR and payroll and partnering with isolved People Cloudâ„¢ can reduce compliance risk, streamline processes and create more space for growth.

"Accounting isn't just about accounting anymore," says Steve Stacey, senior vice president of corporate treasury management at Zions Bank. "We started hearing from clients who were overwhelmed. They'd say, 'I'm spending more time managing systems and compliance than I am growing the business.’"

See how advisors are helping clients:

  • Reduce compliance risk and payroll errors

  • Gain insight into labor costs, turnover and performance

  • Improve employee experience with easier access to pay and benefits

  • Free business leaders to focus on strategy instead of administration
