What is YHRA?

‘Your Human Resources Advisors’

YHRA is a service designed for growing businesses of about 30 to 100 people. It is of particular benefit when the owners of the business find themselves increasingly spending their time managing day to day people issues rather than more strategic issues related to the achievement of business excellence.

The usual solution is to create a Human Resources (HR) department by hiring a relatively inexperienced human resources officer which creates added costs to the infrastructure of the business.

The alternative is to embrace Cumberland’s “YHRA”. This is a fully integrated ‘in-sourcing’ solution. Cumberland becomes part of your management team and helps implement your business strategy. Our people have expertise in the broad spectrum of HR services to support your people and to ensure that they can be maximally productive.

Strategic HR planning and forecasting

Alignment of HR practices with business objectives
A Performance Management System linked to business improvement through a generic system (Shortlist)

Financial Benefits:

YHRA provides you with the opportunity to develop a solid foundation of sophisticated HR practices in your business. This foundation provides your business with a number of financial benefits. This is what some of the research tells us:

The work of Professor Mark Huselid of Rutgers University indicates that in a study of 968 firms, by increasing the sophistication of Human Resource practices by one standard deviation in the following areas:
- Recruitment/Selection
- Performance Management
- Remuneration
- Grievance Procedures
- Information Sharing
- Empowerment Strategies
- Assessment of Attitudes

Led to an increase in profit per employee of US$7,868 per annum and in the market value of the firm of US$33,250 per employee (Huselid, 1994). This equates to an increase in profit of A$10,500 per employee (April,2006 exchange rate).

Greater use of sophisticated HR practices leads to lower turnover and increased productivity as measured by revenue per employee (Huselid 2002).
Cumberland’s YHRA approaches underpin the development of strong company cultures. Companies with strong cultures outperform those with weaker cultures (Kotter & Heskett).

Measures	Strong Culture	Weak Culture
Increase Revenues	682% (av)	166%(av)
Expanded Workforce	282%	36%
Growth in Stock Price	901%	74%
Improved net incomes	756%	1%

The costs of replacing people can vary greatly. Business today is focused on retaining people to reduce the impact of these costs, maintain business momentum and reduce the loss of organisational knowledge. Cumberland’s YHRA focuses on improving retention through improving relationships between leaders and staff, developing people,assisting staff with career development, and assisting with the design of jobs to provide greater challenge. According to research more than 50% of staff view these areas as the major reasons why they stay in an organisation (SITORA).
Cumberland’s YHRA can focus on improving the sophistication of how you select people for your company. Improving your selection practices provides the foundation to select higher performing workers. Above average workers, compared to average workers can provide from 16% to 40% (conservatively) greater productivity for your company. So in a year, for a $40,000 job, the above average worker will produce from $6,400 to $16,000 more than the average worker.

Other Financial Benefits:

For the same cost of employing an inexperienced HR professional you can have your own HR Adviser backed by Cumberland’s professional team.
You can terminate the contract without the penalties such as dismissal claims, redundancy or notice in lieu, which would be required for an employed HR manager
Full year coverage with no ‘down time’ from holidays and other types of leave
Minimal overheads such as office space, computers or phone bills, which can add 30% to the cost of an employed HR manager

Questions to Consider if YOU Take no Action

Will your business’s full potential be realised if you can’t spend the time working ‘ON’ the business?

Will you be in a position to effectively and efficiently manage the growth of your business?

What impact will there be on your clients and the quality of your products and services if staff issues are not resolved?

If HR practices are not integrated into the business fully, what effect will it have on your capacity as a company to hold onto your best staff?

Will long term gains be jeopardised for short term returns?

If staff are spending time on issues that important to them how will it impact on your businesses productivity?

If management attention is drawn to day to day operational issues and away from strategic matters, what are the consequences for your business?
