One of the biggest challenges any new business has to face is getting the right payroll and HRis System installed and working from the onset. It’s not an easy thing to do especially when you have no idea what needs to be done or where to start. As a business owner or manager you are very welcome to self-study and do your research but that may not be a good bet.

It could be seen as intense game of poker, a high stakes game of poker where the winner takes all. To be able to win this round and all the subsequent rounds in this game, you really need to make a strong start. For businesses and companies that would mean you need to have all the cards in your hand as early as possible. Going back to the real world, that would mean that all the parts that makes a business run smoothly needs to be either accomplished or address. That would obviously include dealing with the HR and payroll issues.

There are several things you can do however when it comes to dealing with your company’s HR or human resources. One is to delegate somebody to do the initial work for you. He or she can work of getting the right people into the company as well as finding the right candidates who can better play the role of HR manager or a member of the Human Resources department.

That’s all good and all but you also have to realize that this may not be the best way to win the game. The best bet of course is to go and get the assistance of a good HR solutions company. These types of companies come prepared to meet any and all types of requirements by their clients. They are what they are described too, they provide specific solutions to a number of different challenges presented when it comes to human resources.

Here are some of the things that makes the HR solutions agencies work best compared to international agencies, especially in cases where the business has a strong foothold in the Philippine territory.

1. They have a lot of contacts. Betting between a company that has a lot of contacts and another that has little network is like betting on a sure winner and a loser. The agency or company that has a bigger network tends to draw in top talents and connects with people who are talented enough to get the ball rolling. These agencies also know where to look for and tap places or people that they could get them the right applicants and candidates.
2. They know the language. Another great thing working with a company based locally is they know the mother tongue and use it to their advantage. Even if English is the second language used by Filipinos, there is still a large number of locals who have a hard time speaking the language. This will make it worse for Internationally-based HR agencies because they don’t have a strong grasp of the language.
