People Operations

What do People Operations teams do?

If you want to keep that loving tone in an employee’s voice when they speak about your company, then you need to make a few key tasks as easy as possible for them, including: 

1. Having the right device, like a laptop, with all of the right software from Day 1
2. Getting answers to requests for software or hardware when they need them
3. Making logistical tasks super easy, like returning devices when they leave the company

How do People Operations handle these things?

Because some of these tasks involve IT support, People Operations teams have a few different options to make these experiences magical for employees:

1. Hiring a full-time IT specialist, which starts at $110K
2. Outsourcing to a managed service provider, or MSP, which start at around $50K annually for a 25-person company
3. Switching to payroll solutions, like Rippling, that have robust IT management features built into them

Every solution comes with a downside

Not all of these options are reasonable for early-stage companies or small businesses. Most companies hold off on hiring full-time IT resources until they’ve raised Series A funding. IT resources only become an established practice around their Series C round.

MSPs can be cheaper than a full-time IT hire early on, but outsourcing such a critical piece of the business comes with risk. The MSP may have a pricing structure and goals that aren’t directly aligned with your business. 

Payroll solutions with IT management components, such as Rippling, require you to completely change your payroll system. That can take a lot of time and money to switch over, in addition to the long-term costs of managing the system.

That’s why we built Talisman.
