Frequently Asked Questions About Fractional HR
1. What is Fractional HR?
Fractional HR is a service in which an HR professional (typically in a leadership role) provides direct, part-time support to an organization. A search firm that employs contract and interim employees typically provides Fractional HR leaders.
2. How long does a Fractional HR executive work for an organization?
The length of time is determined by the terms of the contract that are agreed upon before a partnership begins. Many fractional contracts specify minimums for the number of hours for the entire agreement, as well as per week/month.
3. When should I consider hiring a Fractional HR executive?
Most organizations utilize a Fractional HR executive (usually a Fractional CHRO) when specific HR guidance or support is needed, but the organization isn’t currently in a position to add a full-time HR executive. Fractional HR services can be especially valuable when companies are experiencing significant change such as organizational restructuring, rapid growth, and more.
