Zalaris expands HR as a Service (HRaaS), turning HR into a strategic growth engine

Zalaris, a leading provider of HR and payroll solutions, has announced an expanded HR as a Service (HRaaS) offering that provides organisations a smarter, more strategic alternative to traditional HR outsourcing. The service combines scalable daily operations, expert strategic consulting and integrated technology to help HR leaders reduce complexity, stay compliant and drive more value through HR.

HR teams continue to face rising expectations around employee experience, complex regulatory requirements, fragmented systems and cost pressure. According to Gartner, 76% of HR leaders report their operations are at or over capacity and 72% cite that their HR processes are not developed in a user-friendly way - a gap HRaaS is designed to close. 

HR as a Service is designed to eliminate manual processes, fragmented systems and compliance errors, helping organisations lower costs, access senior HR expertise on demand and simplify complexity.

Outcomes customers can expect include: 

• Lower cost-to serve through standardised processes and shared services. 
• Faster, more reliable payroll & HR case resolution with clear SLAs. 
• Improved compliance posture via consistent policy, controls and documentation. 
• Better employee experience with intuitive, consumer-grade processes. 
• Greater agility to scale services as business needs change. 
• More strategic HR - time back for workforce, talent and transformation priorities. 

Powered by smart services & technology, HRaaS delivers an end-to-end model that covers operational functions and consulting expertise under one integrated service.

Operational excellence is achieved through two powerful functions: 

HR Operations: A centralised, multi-location hub for high volume HR and payroll, case management and talent-related transactions built for precision, consistency and the right execution from day one. 

HR Partner Plus: Flexible access to experienced HR Business Partners (HRBPs) for strategic support - without adding permanent headcount. Use on-demand expertise for organisational design, workforce planning, employee relations and change initiatives. 

Consulting services help HR leaders accelerate transformation and drive strategic change: 

HR Processes: A virtual bench of HR experts to design and maintain policies, compliant processes and pragmatic governance - ready for the future of work. 

HR Transformation: Structured change support to align people, process and technology—minimising disruption and accelerating value realisation. 

“HR should be a strategic driver of business goals, not merely an administrative function,” said Hans Petter Mellerud, Founder and CEO of Zalaris. “With HR as a Service, we give organisations the flexibility, expertise and dependable operations they need to elevate HR’s impact - reducing complexity today and building capability for tomorrow.” 

As organisations look to future-proof their HR, Zalaris’ expanded HRaaS provides a pragmatic path forward - combining expert led processes with a flexible, scalable service model. The result: deeper customer partnerships, sustained business impact and HR that leads, not just supports.
