HR is not anymore a pure support and back office role in companies. Effective HR management at any organization determines the level of success the company gains. Big organizations understand that the role of HR has evolved from just handling recruitment and payroll to being responsible for employee development, satisfaction, company growth, and maintaining a healthy company culture. Therefore they have invested resources into having the right HR team and software that facilitate the business growth.
As a small business that can’t afford to break the bank for the HR department alone, here are 5 ways you can effectively manage your HR operations.
ESTABLISH A SOLID HR FOUNDATION
Laying a strong HR foundation is the first and foremost step to effective HR management. Start by making sure that your business is in compliance with local, state and federal laws. Employment contracts, compensation plans, payroll, insurance and taxes are the things you need to get in place, strictly.
Next, setting up company policies from employee handbook, overtime rules or code of conduct to protect the sake of both company and employees. Be consistent in the implementation and keep the policies accessible and up-to-date to ensure all employees are well-aware and act on the mutual benefits.
RECRUIT SMARTLY AND ONBOARD SMOOTHLY
One thing you can’t afford as a small business is to make unnecessary hires. When it comes to bringing in new talent, the onus is placed on bringing in quality talents that are dynamic enough to fit into multiple roles.
As a small business, your team can determine the success of the company. It is advisable to hire a candidate who is a good fit culturally and professionally. However, be prepared for competition with larger organizations over talents. Impress your candidates with professional job descriptions, a well-structured careers page and an efficient hiring and post-hiring process.
That’s where the importance of onboarding comes in.
After selecting the perfect hires, the HR team needs to prepare them ahead of their first day at work. By using an onboarding checklist, you can easily set the new hire up for success by organizing and following onboarding tasks like giving them a tour of the office, providing the new hire with necessary tools and materials, and introducing them to the team.

Amazing WorkplaceSuppose you want to design the best company to work for.
What would it be like?After researching various parameters we came to the conclusion that underlying the differences of circumstance, industry, and individual ambition, an organization that operates at its fullest potential by allowing people to do their best work has six common imperatives.These parameters help you create an “Amazing Workplace.” In a nutshell, it’s a company where individual differences are nurtured; information is not suppressed or spun; the company adds value to employees, rather than merely extracting it from them; the organization stands for something meaningful; the work itself is intrinsically rewarding, and there are no illogical rules.Features of an Amazing WorkplaceLET PEOPLE BE THEMSELVESThe ideal organization is aware of dominant currents in its culture, work habits, dress code, traditions, and governing assumptions but, makes explicit efforts to transcend them.
We are talking not just about the buttoned-down financial services company that embraces the IT guys in shorts and sandals, but also the hipster organization that doesn’t look surprised when someone wears a suit.
Or the place where nearly everyone comes in at odd hours but that accommodates the one or two people who prefer a 9-to-5 schedule.UNLEASH THE FLOW OF INFORMATIONThe organization of your dreams recognizes that in the age of Facebook, WikiLeaks, and Twitter, you’re better off telling people the truth before someone else does.
It respects its employees’ need to know what’s really going on so that they can do their jobs, particularly in volatile environments.
Radical honesty is not easy to implement.
