HR headcount to employee ratio

Hello

Are you able to share the ratio of HR to employees for your company?  There are a few generic reports online but most are a couple of years old.  

Medium to large UK employers would be most helpful, as would multi-sited operations.

thank you

  • Although David is absolutely correct and YMMV and all that, I have found, historically, that starting from an assumption of 1.0 FTE per 100 employees is a useful rule of thumb and you can then move that number left and right, depending on the nature of the organization and skill level of the HR staff and support systems you're prepared to pay for.

    Generally, mo' staff, mo' problems. But also mo' staff, mo' budget, so you get better HRIS and higher skill staff that offsets the growth in workload that comes from larger organisations.
