10 HR Tips For Small Business1. Manage "growing pains."
Employees hired when you have 30 employees have different expectations than the employees with you since Day 1. New employee's have expectations gained from prior jobs that include training, job descriptions, performance management, and polices. Employees with you since Day 1 likely enjoyed having no such constraints. 2. Conduct annual workplace harassment training. Training is the first line of defense in harassment claims. Maybe Title VII doesn't cover your business but State law likely does. Small businesses by their nature tend to be relaxed environments. Regardless the day will come when you, as do all businesses, will have such a complaint and you'll be glad you had training. 3. Take complaints seriously. When a business ignores or fails to adequately address employee complaints, what happens is that a situation that may have been easily handled instead festers into a serious and/or hard to manage problem. 4. Compensation administration is more than monitoring your competitors. You need compensation structure and good data. Your job’s internal equity ranked, jobs priced and fresh data every year, pushed to you for easy budgeting. Software does that for less than the price of losing one person. 5. Have an employee handbook. You don't have to write the Iliad. You do want basic policies to set expectations so both you and your employees have an understanding of your obligations. |
