HR Outsourcing Services in Malaysia

Building and maintaining an in-house HR department is expensive. Hiring a senior HR Manager costs RM7,000–RM12,000 per month in Klang Valley, before benefits, training, and turnover risk. For most Malaysian SMEs, that's a headcount they can't afford to get wrong.

6HRS HR outsourcing gives you a full HR department without the overhead. You get the expertise of experienced HR professionals, the compliance rigour of a specialist firm, and a dedicated account manager, at a fraction of the cost of building it yourself.

Definition

What Is HR Outsourcing?

HR outsourcing means transferring the management of some or all of your HR functions to an external specialist. This can range from a single function (such as payroll) to your entire people operation, hiring, compliance, employee relations, policy management, and more.

6HRS acts as your outsourced HR department: we manage the day-to-day work, stay on top of compliance requirements, and escalate decisions that need your input.
