In the past 10 years of talking with business owners about their Human Resources, I have found that most of them practice some form of Do It Yourself HR. When a problem comes up with an employee, they go online and search for a solution. They waste hours and sometimes days of prime business production time in research and development of a solution.
If a pipe breaks in our house we call a plumber, we don’t search for a solution ourselves while the water floods our basement. If the server in our business gets a virus, we call an IT company to fix it; we don’t try to teach ourselves to be IT pros. So why do business owners do this when it comes to Human Resources issues?
Reason #1: They don’t know that on-demand HR is available. (You do now)
Reason #2: The perception that it is not a cost effective solution. (Let us surprise you)
Why not develop a relationship with an HR professional that becomes a strategic part of your business – someone who can solve and potentially prevent issues while helping you to be proactive with HR/employees for the benefit of your business.
