NorthgateArinso signs five-year payroll outsourcing contract with RAC
20 September 2012: NorthgateArinso (NGA), a leading provider of HR solutions, is today announcing a five-year contract with RAC to provide payroll and HR services; an announcement which further builds on NGA’s reputation as a market-leading HR outsourci
One of the UK's most progressive motoring organisations, RAC has been serving motorists since 1897 and deals with more than two million breakdowns a year on behalf of some seven million members. NGA is providing RAC with a full outsourced payroll service and hosted HR platform using ResourceLink Aurora to underpin its in-house HR operation for 4,000 staff.
RAC was working to short timescales and explored two options for the provision of HR and payroll services, in-house and outsourced. NGA presented options for both delivery models and worked with RAC to create a solution with the flexibility and scalability to move with its business. The decision to outsource its payroll reduced risk and enabled the focus to be on RAC’s core objectives. The single platform solution provided by NGA, which is already used by 500 organisations in the UK, helped RAC to reduce time-consuming administrative processes, providing significant cost and time savings for the business on a day-to-day basis. Experience of working with companies that had added payroll complexity from splitting with parent companies - like Gatwick Airport - was also a key consideration.
Vicky Smith, HR Services Manager at RAC, said: “We were looking for a ‘safe pair of hands’ with a proven track record to provide the quality of service we required on time and in budget. I had worked with NGA before and knew its credentials, which included working on similar contracts where the subsidiary had split from its parent company, coupled with outstanding analyst rankings and a wealth of service options available, positioned them as the ideal partner for us to work with. We have every confidence that the service will adapt to not only the changing needs of RAC but also any changes in legislation that may occur.”
NGA Business Development Director James Ronksley said: “We are delighted that RAC, a leading motoring services organisation in the UK, has chosen a combination of NGA technology and outsourcing services to for HR and payroll. It’s a great example of two successful British brands working closely together. This contract is testament to the quality of our solution and we look forward to working with RAC to underpin its people strategy.”
