Business owners recognize that effective HR functions are a determining factor in the success of any company, large or small. Unfortunately, many managers find themselves personally investing too much time administering these functions, which can be frustrating and inefficient. 
Elemental HR offers HR Process Outsourcing (HRPO): a consulting practice designed to provide HR services on an ‘as-needed’ basis to your business. Senior-level HR experience is provided to small, medium, and large organizations on an hourly basis, without the overhead associated with a salaried position.
