"The administrative burden of HR requires an inordinate amount of time and paperwork, creating a need among businesses Ivho can't afford a staff to keep up — let alone recruit and screen new employees:' said Schwartz."Our HR Solutions Group guides companies to cost- effective alternatives. Outsourcing various HR functions can cut ben- efit costs by more than 10 percent and save valuable staff time. "For example, the savings can help offset rising health care costs" In a recent study by Hewitt Associates, an HR consulting firm in Lincolnshire, Ill., 94 percent of companies surveyed outsourced at least one HR function. One of the companies taking advantage of the new HR Solutions Group is Car Pack Manufacturing Co. of Troy, a 56-year-old firm with 23 employees. Car Pack makes products for the automotive indus- try: fasteners, nuts, bolts, washers, plastic clips and weather-stripping. "We don't have a human resources staff, so we're relying on HR Solutions to take care of our HR needs:' explained Jerry Levine of Birmingham, vice president of Car Pack. "When we first met with Teresa Schwartz and her colleagues, she noticed right away that we weren't providing certain benefits for our employees, so we took care of that right away',' said Levine, who also is a JVS board member. "We're relying on their expertise in these matters." JVS officials also view the new subsidiary as an additional source of revenue for the organization. It employs 350 people and relies on support from the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit, the Jewish Fund, Detroit Workforce Development Department, the Oakland and Macomb County Community Mental Health Authority, U.S. con- tracts, general fees and grants for vocational rehabilitation services and United Way Community Services. "With a struggling Michigan economy and reductions in grants and donations to JVS in general, we're always looking for additional sources of income," said Schwartz. E November 24 2005 St'N't
