Hi, I have been asked by my manager to justify the number of people in my HR team. I can do this by giving him details of the workload and who does what in the team, however I was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions about how to support this information. I was thinking about if there was maybe any factual which stated that to run a business with x amount of employees you need x amount of HR support. Perhaps point me in the right direction?

We have 272 employees who are located not just in the UK but also US, Germany, Singapore, Japan and Australia. There are currently 3 HR personnel.

Thanks
