Outsourcing the Entire HR Function Across a Growing International Business
A growing data analytics company with operations in Sri Lanka and offices in Australia and the United Kingdom was managing an increasingly complex workforce across multiple locations. As the company expanded, its HR requirements grew beyond recruitment and basic administration. It required a complete HR function capable of managing talent acquisition, payroll, employee administration, performance processes, HR documentation, and ongoing workforce support.
Rather than continuing to expand its internal HR department, the company partnered with Formix to outsource its entire HR function. Formix established a dedicated 10-person HR team to operate as an extension of the company’s organization and manage its day-to-day people operations.
The Challenge
The company’s international structure created a wide range of HR requirements. Recruitment needed to continue across different functions, employees required consistent HR support, payroll had to be managed accurately, and management needed greater visibility over workforce-related processes.
The company also wanted to avoid creating separate HR teams for different business functions and locations. Building a sufficiently large internal HR department would have required significant recruitment, management, infrastructure, and ongoing employment costs.
The objective was therefore to find an HR outsourcing partner capable of taking responsibility for the company’s wider HR operation rather than simply handling individual HR tasks.
