The obvious reason is to start as you mean to go on….
As a start-up, HR is often over looked. The pandemic has changed the way we work, and has encouraged a different type of culture. People want flexibility, fun, without the heavy burden of policies and politics. A culture not dissimilar to what is often found in new start-ups, who want a more laid back, casual atmosphere without massive handbooks and an abundance of holiday request spreadsheets.
But what the pandemic has also shed a spotlight on is HR. We, perhaps sadly, have never been busier. That is because whatever industry, whatever size, whatever company culture, our clients have all faced problems and challenges.
Why engage just because there is a problem? Of course, some things are unforeseen and crop up, but there are lots of other issues you can mitigate by doing the right thing from the beginning.
Just because you want an informal dress code, only have 5 staff for now, or think HR will slow you down, does not mean you don’t need it. You really do…
We can help you start off on the right track, promote your desired culture, recruit the right staff (and keep them!), and take the boring (but legally required) administration burden off you.
HR is often the last thing on the list when starting out, but whatever is required in a large organisation is going to be needed in yours, perhaps just not as heavy.
If you would like any further information on our HR offering, or ways in which we can support your business, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the office on 01932 830664 or email hrservices@wardwilliams.co.uk.
