Absolutely we can! Our services can be delivered virtually or in person at your site. It is up to you how you decide to engage us. Wherever possible, we’d love to show our faces around your site, it’s great for transparency, and to let your teams get to know us too. Depending on our arrangement, your Outsourced team members could have regular, scheduled days to work from your location.

Our approach to Outsourcing is to support your company, wherever and however it needs it. We can operate as an additional resource, or better yet, ensure you have all hands on deck for a project launch or during change within the company. In most instances, outsourcing is a longer - term engagement, simply because this is how our clients choose to operate and this is how you will enjoy the biggest cost benefits with ongoing access to expertise and support from experienced HR Safety consultants.

It depends on your business needs, but for many employers, outsourcing HR and Safety is a more cost-effective and flexible option than hiring a full-time internal resource. When you outsource HR and Safety through a Canadian partner like HRA, you gain access to a full team of qualified professionals without the overhead of salaries, benefits, CPP, EI, Vacation pay, or STAT holiday entitlements.

You also avoid the costs of recruitment, training and management that come with building and internal department. Our team handles compliance, quality assurance, and day-to-day support across all core HR Safety functions.

Our team brings deep expertise across both Human Resources and Occupational Health & Safety. Each consultant has a strong generalist foundation, paired with specialized knowledge in areas like compliance, employee relations, and safety systems. We align industry-specific experience to each client’s environment — from construction and manufacturing to office-based teams, ensuring practical and relevant support. Most importantly, we work with clients our team is genuinely passionate about, so that our advice is informed, engaged, and aligned with your goals.

Outsourcing HR and Safety can accelerate results, reduce internal workload, and bring a fresh, objective perspective to complex people and compliance challenges. It gives business leaders access to experienced professionals who understand employment legislation, safety regulations, and best practices that may not exist in-house. With the right outsourced partner, you can reduce risk, improve compliance with employment standards and OH&S requirements, and strengthen your internal processes.

Most importantly, outsourcing HR and Safety should support your ability to meet strategic goals by building people systems that are practical, data-informed, and human-centred.

Yes — HR and Safety support can benefit organizations of any size, at any stage. One of the most common questions we hear at HR Advantage is, “How many employees do I need before bringing in outsourced HR or Safety support?” There is no set number, but there is a right approach — and that starts with asking the right questions.

At HRA, we work with businesses across Canada, from lean teams with under 10 staff to multi-site employers with hundreds. Our outsourced model allows you to access senior-level HR and OH&S expertise without the cost of building an internal department. Whether you're navigating growth, compliance requirements, or cultural change, we tailor scalable support that aligns with your business and your industry.
