• The growth of the HR advisory market is influenced by various macro and micro factors. For instance, Economic growth often leads to business expansions, increasing the demand for HR advisory services. Conversely, economic downturns drive demand as companies seek to optimize their workforce and reduce costs.
• Moreover, a heightened focus on talent management and retention in competitive labor markets raises the demand for HR advisory. The rise in remote work and the gig economy necessitates new HR strategies and policies. Changes in labor laws, such as minimum wage adjustments, healthcare mandates, and diversity requirements, also impact the market. Adopting HR technologies like AI, HR analytics, and automation tools requires specialized advisory services.
• An increase in employment rates directly drives demand for HR advisory services. For instance, as organizations expand their workforce, they require substantial talent management strategies to attract, retain, and nurture top talent. HR advisors specialize in performance management, career development, and succession planning.
• Moreover, as companies scale, they often require organizational restructuring or the creation of new frameworks to support their growing staff. In such scenarios, HR advisory services are pivotal, offering insights into organizational design, change management, and cultural integration.
• There are various technological trends that are expected to drive the market. For example, Data analysis assists HR in managing the entire talent lifecycle by looking into competitive benchmarking, competency gap analysis, learning opportunities, workforce patterns, talent demands, etc. The human resource function is expanding from both a technological and an analytics perspective.
• For instance, in May 2024, PeopleStrong, an HR and payroll tech company, teamed up with Google Cloud in a strategic move to drive HR transformation and innovation across Asian businesses. This partnership will see the integration of Google Cloud's advanced AI tools, such as Vertex AI and Gemini models, into PeopleStrong's already robust HR tech platform. PeopleStrong's HR Tech 4.0 platform stands out as India's pioneer HR tech solution, leveraging advanced Generative AI. Boasting over 2,200 open APIs, the platform fosters a seamless HR ecosystem, enhancing employee experiences and administrative efficiency.
• On the contrary, Market growth faces a challenge with the rising reliance on outsourcing agencies. This market involves companies delegating their HR functions to external service providers. Businesses can streamline HR tasks, cut costs, boost efficiency, and lighten their administrative load. Yet, entrusting agencies with critical functions like performance management and employee feedback risks ceding control and could spark employee discontent. While outsourcing HR can bring specialized skills and scalability, it's particularly beneficial for industries such as IT and hospitality.
