Like all processes, recruiting and putting on an employee, training them, running performance reviews, educating them on relevant policies and procedures, adhering to all the employer legislation (not just Fair Work), engaging with them to believe in your business and work with passion not just for the money, and finally to terminate the employee – that’s a lot of steps. Most small business owners don’t do them very often – how are you supposed to know if you are getting it right? And what are the consequences of getting it wrong?
Like employing an accountant or solicitor to help you with certain aspects of compliance in your business, an external HR consultant can act as a HR Manager for you, coming in and out to provide expertise when it is needed.
