How To Win Business With A "Certified TPA" Seal

How To Address Employer Concerns Of Using A TPA

Using a Third-Party Administrator (TPA) for Human Resources (HR) administration can bring several benefits, such as cost savings, expertise, and efficiency.

However, some employers may have concerns associated with outsourcing HR functions to a TPA, including loss of control, data and privacy security, quality of service, and dependency on the external provider that makes the organization vulnerable to disruptions in service, changes in pricing or terms, or difficulties in transitioning to a different provider if needed.

Third-party administrators (TPAs) can address concerns related to using their services for human resources administration by highlighting any or all of the following:

Transparency

TPAs should prioritize transparency in their operations, providing clear explanations of their processes, fees, and responsibilities. This transparency builds trust and reassures clients about the TPA's intentions and capabilities.

Client References/Testimonials

Sharing success stories, client testimonials, and references from satisfied clients can instill confidence in potential clients considering TPA services. Positive feedback from existing clients serves as social proof of the TPA's reliability and competence.

Data Security

TPAs should implement robust data security measures to safeguard sensitive employee information. Demonstrating compliance with industry standards and investing in cybersecurity technologies can alleviate concerns about data breaches and identity theft.

Proactive Communication

Maintaining open lines of communication with clients and promptly addressing their concerns or inquiries can foster a sense of partnership and collaboration. Regular updates on the status of HR processes and proactive problem-solving can enhance client satisfaction and trust.

Performance Metrics

Providing clients with transparent performance metrics and reports can demonstrate the effectiveness of the TPA's services. Metrics such as accuracy rates, turnaround times, and customer satisfaction scores help clients evaluate the value proposition of outsourcing HR administration.

Closing The Sale: The Benefits Of Using A TPA For Human Resources Administration

Using a Third-Party Administrator (TPA) for human resources administration offers several benefits to organizations. Use any of the following reasons to help you win the business:

Expertise and Specialization

TPAs typically specialize in HR administration, bringing a depth of knowledge and expertise to managing various HR functions such as payroll, benefits administration, compliance, and employee relations. This specialization ensures that HR tasks are handled efficiently and accurately.

Cost-Effectiveness

Outsourcing HR functions to a TPA can often be more cost-effective than maintaining an in-house HR department. TPAs can leverage economies of scale and advanced technology to streamline processes and reduce administrative costs.

Focus on Core Business Activities

By outsourcing HR functions to a TPA, organizations can free up valuable time and resources to focus on their core business activities. This allows businesses to concentrate on strategic initiatives and growth opportunities rather than getting bogged down in administrative tasks.

Access to Advanced Technology

TPAs often utilize advanced HR software and technology platforms to manage various HR functions. By partnering with a TPA, organizations can gain access to these technologies without having to invest in expensive software licenses or infrastructure upgrades.

Compliance and Risk Management

HR regulations and compliance requirements are constantly evolving, and non-compliance can result in significant penalties and legal issues for organizations. TPAs stay abreast of regulatory changes and ensure that HR processes and practices are compliant, helping to mitigate the risk of legal exposure for their clients.

Flexibility and Scalability

TPAs offer flexibility and scalability to accommodate the changing needs of businesses. Whether it's managing seasonal fluctuations in staffing levels or scaling HR services to support business growth, TPAs can adjust their services accordingly to meet the needs of their clients.

Enhanced Employee Experience

By outsourcing HR functions to a TPA, organizations can often provide employees with access to better benefits packages, improved payroll services, and enhanced HR support. This can lead to higher levels of employee satisfaction and engagement.

Overall, using a TPA for human resources administration can help organizations streamline operations, reduce costs, ensure compliance, and enhance the overall employee experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do the online Training & Certification Programs work?

Our online courses follow Instructional Design requirements, meaning the course is broken into multiple Lessons. Each Lesson has a 'Lesson Goals' page showing the two or three key points to learn from that Lesson. It then provides training - in English, not legalese - with lots of Tips, Examples, and Procedural Recommendations, then concludes with "End Of Lesson Quizzes" that are multiple-choice question that state a potential situation that you, as the administrator, must handle.

Do I have to attend a seminar in person?

Our seminars are available in both in-person and virtual options. Both options contain the same training; the only difference is that you attend the virtual sessions from the comfort of your home or office.

What is the difference between an HR Generalist and an HR Specialist?

These titles are interchangeable. Bottom line, the job entitles working with any number of HR functions, including benefits, payroll, compensation, workers' comp, compliance, and more.

What does your investigation class cover?

While many people think investigations primarily cover fraud or theft, in reality the majority of workplace investigations are based upon employee and management behavior, and handling these situations correctly can mean a happy workforce or a lawsuit. For instance, how would your organization respond to claims of bullying, negligence, or retaliation? How does it identify whether there is a complaint that should he handled by a supervisor or actually investigated? Does your organization have a process for interviewing witnesses or writing reports? The key here is to get trained on how to do an investigation before you actually have to do one! [View Course Agenda]

Do your courses provide updates whenever the laws change?

Absolutely - and we do it for free! In essence, we notify you with both an overview of any changes and directions as to where and what changed in your courseware.

What is the difference between HRcertification.com courses and HRCI or SHRM courses?

While HRCI and SHRM provide "soft skills" training and theory for the HR Department in general, HRcertification.com provides "hard skills" training for actually administrating the government-required rules for FMLA, ADA, COBRA, Payroll, etc.
