A business can’t grow, attract and retain the best talent, and keep employees engaged without real HR professionals.
Here’s another reason: 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙃𝙍 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙠.
Take terminations. Some are straightforward. Employee performs poorly, spotty attendance, shows up stoned. Easy call.
But when #management wants to make a sudden change that will likely surprise the employee, you need experienced HR advice that walks through all potential risks.
𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗧𝗢 𝗔𝗦𝗞 𝗕𝗘𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

If you can’t hire a full-time HR pro right now, consider using a consultant like me to minimize your risks.
