Outsourced human resources

Build a better workplace

Creating — and keeping — a roster of high-performing, passionate people is far from simple. Time, training and technology all play a role in cultivating a qualified workforce but are difficult to balance against stringent regulations and budgetary requirements.

You don’t have to go it alone. With Wipfli, you can outsource executive-level roles and responsibilities or operational work, deciding where you need support.

  • On-demand expertise: Tap into our specialized knowledge and skills when you need them, without taking on the overhead costs of a fulltime team member.
  • Flexibility and scalability: Scale your HR team up or down to match demand.
  • Cost control: We help you minimize your fixed costs.
  • Objective insights: Our outside perspective can help you make unbiased assessments during sensitive situations.
