Should a Small Business Hire HR Staff

During the initial stages of any business, not much staff is needed to get it started however as it expands a business owner needs to take important steps in the decision making process in order to accelerate the growth.

At this point, it can be at times extremely difficult to make a decision on whether a business needs support staff including the HR manager or not. In order to make the correct decision in this regard, here are few questions that a business owner needs to ask himself before starting the hiring process:

a. Is there in actuality a serious need of a human resource person?

b. If yes, will it be a full time or part time job?

c. What an HR person would be responsible to do?

If a small business owner successfully manages to answer all these questions, then he/she will be able to make a correct decision regarding the need of an HR person for his organization in the end.

A major confusion while deciding an HR person that comes in the owner’s mind quite often is that if they do not need to hire any new staff than what’s the use of an HR person? However, in reality, an HR person has a lot more to do than just simply hiring and firing the staff.

In reality, a professional and intelligent HR manager during slow times can focus on a lot of other things that may be related to the discipline of our organization. In this regard, he/she can also contribute in making a useful handbook highlighting all the necessary information about his/her organization from orientation to basic disciplinary procedures. Moreover, he can also write job description for each worker, can play the role of a moderator between the employees and the management and so on.

So, this is how a sound and professional HR manager can actually prove beneficial for the growth of a company.
