Outsourcing the services of your business not only saves you money, but it also means that you have people working for you that are extremely specialised in what they do. But how do you go about choosing the right home builder for your business when there are so many offering their services? Here, we’ve got a great list of tips to help you choose the right person for the job. From information on identifying the need for a contractor to the possibility of engaging with a contractor management company to make the whole process more efficient, we’ve got the important facts you need to know:
Identify the need
Firstly you need to identify what services you need to outsource within your business. Really take the time to make a list of the important tasks of that role so that when you engage with contractors about what the job entails, you have a clear description which can outline to them. Outsourcing is a great way to minimise costs so you may have identified a few areas in which outsourcing could be a viable option.
Know your responsibilities
With any person under the employment of your company, you and your business are responsible to ensure that safe work practices are adhered to and that all employees (including contractors) have a healthy and safe working environment. While contractors need to comply with safety standards too, ultimately if anything were to happen whilst a contractor was on the job you could be facing steep fines.
The legal responsibilities of the contractor
Contractor Certification and OH&S requirements are an important part of engaging with any contractor. They need to be compliant with the Occupational Health & Safety Act and Regulations of the state in which you are located, and you need to be able to verify a number of important forms of information including things like: Contractor Registrations and ABN, Licences, WorkCover Insurance, Professional indemnity insurance and public liability insurance.
Getting assistance in contractor compliance
There are so many factors that need to be considered before selecting the right contractor to suit your needs. Fortunately there are companies out there that offer contractor compliance verification so you can have peace of mind that all of the appropriate checks are completed before they commence work, and you can feel safe in the knowledge that the contractor you have working for you meets the appropriate OH&S requirements and other important legal obligations. Getting assistance with this process means that you can save time looking for the right contractor by having someone else verify their skills and legal requirements.
Outsourcing is becoming increasingly popular. It really is a great way to get the right person for the job at a lower cost than that of a permanent employee. I hope you’ve found our list of tips helpful in assisting you to choose the right contractor for the job you have at hand.
