Satisfied customers from around the globe
HR teams weren’t built to run operations at scale
Most HR functions are caught in a cycle: too much administration, not enough advisory capacity, and a widening gap between what leadership expects from HR and what the team can actually deliver. It is a structural problem, not a resourcing one.
56% of HR time lost to admin
Payroll queries, compliance checks, process maintenance, and system admin consume most of the week - leaving little capacity for work that moves the business.
New systems haven’t reduced the load
An HRIS delivers the technology, but not the operating model. Without the right people, processes, and accountability behind it, the operational strain continues.
Strategic capacity consumed by ops
When HR Business Partners spend their time on operational queries, the organisation loses the strategic counsel it hired them for.
Fragmented vendors across borders
Separate providers for payroll, HR admin, compliance, and advisory create inconsistency, duplicated cost, and accountability gaps - especially multi-country.

How HR as a Service differs from HR outsourcing, EOR platforms and HR consultancies
Every Zalaris managed service contract includes a structured governance cadence. You always know how your service is performing - and so do we.
Versus traditional HR outsourcing / BPO
Task-by-task transfer with your team left as integrator. HRaaS is one accountable operating model - HR admin, payroll, compliance and advisory under a single provider, one data model, one point of escalation.
Versus EOR / payroll platforms
Strong for hiring and point payroll, thin on managed HR operations and senior advisory. HRaaS runs the day-to-day and adds on-demand HRBP depth.
Versus HR consultancies
Advice without the run. HRaaS advises and operates - the model is delivered, not just designed.
Our goal is to create HR and payroll processes that are reliable, consistent and employee-friendly across countries. With Zalaris, we have chosen a partner that combines strong implementation expertise with a service mindset
