You’re a smaller company and you’ve been getting by without someone to handle HR. But as your business grows, you know there will come a point in time when you’ll need to hire a dedicated HR person. How can you tell when the time is right? Here are a few signs:
Sign #1: Your company is growing fast.
As one of South Florida’s leading staffing services firms, Future Force knows that rather than focusing your time and energy on HR related tasks, you should be focusing on managing that growth.
You can still remain the final decision maker. But when you have a skilled and experienced HR person to handle and coordinate job postings, interviewing, new hire training, skills testing, performance reviews, employee benefits information, etc., it will make your life a lot easier.
Sign #2: You need help managing employee-related issues.
You’re great at sales and customer service. But when it comes to boosting morale, managing employee conflicts and dealing with performance problems, you’d rather run the other way.
An experienced HR person can help guide, coach and counsel you in those often awkward and uncomfortable situations. They can also assist you when it comes to implementing policies and processes to avoid problems in the future.
Sign #3: You’re hiring more employees.
The bigger you get – and the more employees you have – the more laws you must comply with. It can get complicated when you consider that employer regulations are always evolving and changing.
For instance, for a company owner or an office manager with limited HR expertise, knowing what FMLA paperwork to give an employee and when can be a challenge. But when you have an expert HR person in house to stay updated and ensure your company is always in compliance, it’s one less thing you need to worry about handling.
Sign #4: Hiring is becoming harder.
As your company is growing, you have less time to focus on the all-important task of hiring. But your company’s success relies on your ability to find and hire the best people. So if you don’t have a reasonable amount of time to dedicate to hiring, then it’s time to bring in someone who can handle the process for you.
