Why fractional

Full-time HR leadership is a fixed cost most growing teams can't yet justify.

A full-time in-house HR Manager costs far more than the base salary alone — employer CPF, medical benefits and annual bonus all add to the true monthly cost, and a larger team multiplies it further. Amberwood works differently: senior judgement and hands-on delivery, for a flat fee and none of the fixed headcount cost.

Typical In-House HR
Base Salary
Just the starting point — before CPF, benefits and bonus are added on top.
Typical In-House HR
+ CPF, Benefits & Bonus
Employer CPF contributions, medical benefits and annual bonus all add to the true monthly cost of a full-time hire.
One Flat Fee
Amberwood's fractional service fee — no CPF, benefits or bonus to fund, across 9 HR domains.
