The most valuable asset in your organization is your staff. Beyond providing products or services to your customers, employees represent the personality and culture of your brand. They are your link to customers, productivity and profitability. Hiring and retaining great employees directly impacts the long-term success of your business.

Employees deserve to understand their role and want to be confident they are making a difference in helping you achieve your company's mission. Do your employees have a clear understanding of your expectations? Do they receive regular feedback to know if they are accomplishing their daily and long-term goals? Implementing a structured human resources plan facilitates better communication and generates a happier, more effective, and more sustainable workforce.

When is it right to have a full-time human resources professional on your staff? The general standard is one HR professional to every 100 employees. However, federal and state employment laws affect employers of every size, even an employer of one. Oftentimes, owners or managers of small businesses simply don't have the time or acumen to learn and address HR compliance matters. As state and federal employment laws are updated, an HR professional helps employers understand how to operate legally while aligning company policies with employer and employee rights. Employment Law compliance is not only mandatory, it results in a structured workplace with clearly established parameters for employers and their employees.
