Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a fractional CHRO cost compared to hiring full-time?
A full-time CHRO in Singapore typically costs $180,000-$300,000 annually (plus benefits, CPF, bonus). A fractional CHRO at 2 days per week costs approximately $72,000-$96,000 annually, saving 50-70% while providing the strategic expertise you need. This is ideal for companies not yet requiring full-time C-level HR leadership.
What is the typical time commitment for a fractional CHRO?
Most engagements range from 1-3 days per week (8-24 hours). The exact commitment depends on company size, complexity, and current needs. During intensive projects like organizational restructuring, commitment may temporarily increase. Engagements are flexible and can be adjusted as your needs evolve.
How quickly can a fractional CHRO start?
After an initial consultation and scope alignment, most fractional CHROs can start within 1-2 weeks. The onboarding process includes stakeholder interviews, current state assessment, and priority setting. You'll see immediate value as they bring fresh perspectives and proven frameworks.
Do I need existing HR staff to work with a fractional CHRO?
Not necessarily. Fractional CHROs can work independently for strategy and guidance, but they're most effective when paired with an HR coordinator or generalist for day-to-day execution. For smaller companies (under 50 employees), they can operate independently. For larger companies, having some HR support maximizes their strategic impact.
What deliverables can I expect from a fractional CHRO engagement?
Typical deliverables include: HR strategy roadmap, organizational structure designs, compensation frameworks, performance management systems, policy documentation, talent acquisition strategies, leadership development programs, and change management plans. All deliverables are practical, actionable, and tailored to your specific business needs and stage.
