EORM and The Melita Group Partner to Deliver Professional Outsourcing Services
Clients benefit from single-source HR and Environmental, Health, and Safety professional staffing support
Sunnyvale, CA – December 13, 2006 -- Environmental and Occupational Risk Management Inc. (EORM®), a premier environmental, health and safety (EHS) management and technical consulting firm, announced today that they have entered into a strategic business alliance with The Melita Group of Santa Clara, CA, to cross-market each company’s outsourcing services. For clients of both companies, this agreement means the delivery of a broader range of services, especially for organizations that do not employ full time EHS or Human Resource (HR) professionals.
Currently, many companies employ professional outsourced staff to manage EHS and HR functions instead of hiring permanent or full-time employees. Outsourcing allows companies to proactively respond to changing workforce needs, provides professionals with focused expertise, and delivers on-demand staffing for specific job functions or the support of internal programs. Based on a recent survey conducted by Priority Press, an EORM-published quarterly newsletter, companies are continuing to increase the outsourcing of non-core functions as a strategic business solution. In support of this data, this year EORM has seen a 48% increase in the number of clients to which they provide EHS outsourcing services. These services range from environmental management to safety engineering, ergonomics, training, and industrial hygiene, as well as other EHS functions.
The Melita Group offers similar outsourcing functions in Human Resources. They offer complete end-to-end HR outsourcing and benefits brokerage services that help organizations reduce the administrative burden associated with managing HR activities. Services cover areas such as HR compliance and training, interim staffing services, benefits management, and self service technology.
"This partnership enhances our professional outsourcing services by giving EORM or The Melita Group clients the ability to contract for two different job specialties through one source," commented Glenn Fishler, EORM president and CEO. "Both EORM and The Melita Group have similar outsourcing clients-- companies who are looking for both flexible and cost-effective ways to manage their workforce. We have a solid track record of partnering on projects together. It’s a natural progression to further strengthen our alliance by offering their HR outsourcing services as an additional client benefit."
