We are proud to advise that in July 2013 Dave Beattie, our Tax Manager, completed his Masters in Business Administration (MBA).
Dave received a distinction for his dissertation titled ‘Human Resources Outsourcing: A study of KwaZulu-Natal companies’ use of outsourced human resources services, reasons and benefits’. This dissertation provides a unique insight into the rationale followed by SMME owners in dealing with the lack of skills in the human resources field, the cost of acquiring such skills, the time commitment required by managers / owners when dealing with HR issues and the level of respect for HR legislative compliance.
Importantly, the approach used to roll out an outsourcing strategy and the evaluation of the success or failure of such a strategy is researched to identify whether KZN SMMEs measure up to their counterparts elsewhere in South Africa and overseas. WELL DONE DAVE!
