Is it Time to Build Internal HR? Check out this guide for growing businesses from our Member Beacham HR Consulting 👇 Consulting an HR expert like Elizabeth Beacham can help in assessing your organisation's specific situation and suggest the best path forward. Get in contact with [email protected] today.
𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐚 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐑 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬? As businesses grow, managing human resources becomes increasingly complex. There are some key considerations that might drive your approach. · Number of employees – as a guide when your employee count approaches 50, managing payroll, benefits can become more complex. · Compliance Requirements - growth generally brings a broader and deeper regulatory landscape to navigate. · Employee experience – from recruitment and on-boarding to employee development engagement, all become more complex and benefit from strategy and streamlined processes as your business grows. · People strategy that supports business’ goals – strategic workforce planning, culture, organisation design, reward, performance become higher priorities and require expertise that most business leaders can’t expect to have nor the time to dedicate. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡? Of course, you can outsource the development and delivery of your HR requirements. This approach has potential cost benefits over bringing HR expertise in-house, provides the necessary expertise to meet compliance requirements, and supports scalability, allowing business leaders to focus on the core business. I advocate for a hybrid approach if your business is at this decision point. Businesses vary in their needs and complexity, so it is essential to seek expertise to assess these needs and propose the best approach moving forward. This could involve external work to set up the internal HR capability, ensuring that people risks are mitigated and providing a platform for internal support as the business scales. Alternatively, a combination of some internal HR capabilities and some outsourced services can offer a balanced solution. My concluding comment is that you should not wait to consider your approach. Aligning your people strategy with your business plans early is critical, and implementation can happen over time. If you would like to discuss what is the right approach for your business, please contact me at [email protected] #HR #SME #HRcapabilities #HRSTRATEGY
