Human Resources has evolved from the days of being referred to as Personnel.
While how we refer to HR may have changed, one thing that HASN’T changed is how critical it is for small businesses to have trusted HR professionals to partner with while building out their people function as their business grows. If anything, it’s gotten even more important as compliance, employment law, and best practices continue to evolve and become more complex.
Too often in growing businesses, HR responsibilities get added onto “someone’s” plate, with that “someone” not having the experience to execute successfully. We get it - especially in the early days, it can be hard to justify payroll spend on an area not directly tied to your mission. While those early payroll dollar savings may look good on a P&L, in the long run, not having strong (compliant) HR programs in place may cost you exponentially more through turnover, lost productivity, creating programs reactively, or - gulp - a lawsuit or discrimination claim. It’s a gamble…gambling is fun when it’s done in Vegas, not with the future of your business.
KEI Consulting can bridge that gap. Whether you’re just getting started, growing quickly, or realize you’re behind the 8-ball, working with us can be that compromise between having a full-time resource on payroll and still having access to the experienced HR resources needed to be successful.
Our HR philosophy is rooted in accountability, respect, partnership, clear communication, and a healthy dose of memes and 90’s pop culture.
