FAQs About HR as a Service
What is HR as a Service?
HR as a Service is an umbrella model for accessing strategic HR expertise through a flexible project or retainer engagement. HRBx provides virtual HR leadership, organisation design, talent strategy, performance frameworks, compensation guidance and support for important people decisions.
What are virtual HR services?
Virtual HR services provide remote access to experienced HR professionals who advise and support your leadership team. At HRBx, virtual HR focuses on strategic systems and leadership guidance rather than routine payroll processing or statutory filing.
What are fractional HR services for startups?
Fractional HR services for startups provide structured access to senior HR capability on a part-time or defined engagement basis. This can help funded and growth-stage startups build performance, compensation, organisation, culture and talent systems before hiring a full-time CHRO.
How is HR as a Service different from a Fractional CHRO?
HR as a Service describes the broader category of flexible HR advisory and leadership support. A Fractional CHRO is a more embedded form of delivery in which a senior HR executive actively participates in strategic, executive and board-level people decisions.
What is included in a virtual HR engagement?
Depending on the mandate, the engagement may include organisation design, performance frameworks, workforce planning, compensation benchmarking, ESOP structuring, leadership alignment, HR policy guidance, retention audits and change strategy.
Do you provide payroll processing and statutory compliance filing?
No. The current HRBx offering is positioned as strategic and advisory rather than as a payroll-processing or statutory-filing service. Any compliance-related scope should be clarified during the initial consultation.
What is the minimum commitment?
Engagements currently start at ₹3 lakh per month and are structured as six-month retainers or project-based mandates. HRBx does not offer hourly support, low-value retainers or ad hoc engagements under this practice.
Can virtual HR work for a remote or multi-location team?
Yes. The virtual HR model is designed to provide strategic guidance to distributed and multi-location teams, regardless of where employees or leaders are based.
How do we know whether we need virtual HR or a Fractional CHRO?
Virtual HR is generally appropriate when you need frameworks, systems and senior advisory. A Fractional CHRO is more appropriate when you need an embedded executive leader to guide major organisational, leadership, board or transaction-related decisions.
