Description

• As you begin your startup, you are concerned
  about getting the idea, getting the funding
  getting the customers. But at some point, you
  want to start thinking about getting a Human
  Resources specialist on board as well. It is no
  fun to have to use the restricted funds to
  someone in the cost center role, but making
  someone onboard at the right time will save you
  money in the long run. Here are 4 signs to
  understand why HR is important in an
  Organization.

1. You are growing fast

• Need to hire new people is always a good sign for
  your business. But are you capable of handling
  recruitment process at the cost of devoting your
  time on what you are good at? Or is it feasible
  for your team managers to start screening
  candidates to fill the positions? Having a HR
  specialist to take care of sourcing the profiles,
  coordinate with teams, organise interviews, write
  offer letters, maintaining the background
  checks and onboarding process can make the office
  run much more smoothly.

2. You are having a culture crisis

• As the owner or CEO of the company you have set
  the culture to begin with, but as the company
  grows, it is sometimes hard to hold onto that
  culture, as every employee will have different
  expectations from the company. Additionally,
  there is a question of whether to hold on to
  previously set culture or bring the change. When
  some employees start to feel disenfranchised, you
  may lose a good employee. It is a good idea to
  have a specialist in organizational development
  to help out.

3. When you want to set better policies in
organisation

• While creating the new business, you were not
  much keen on setting the policies, but as
  employee size grows, it is time to bring some
  formalities as well. Mostly for making
  significant policies, HRs are capable of helping
  you explain why those policies are important, how
  to design and implement them and how well to
  convey the message to the employees. At the end,
  you also need someone who can stand up to you
  say, No, that is unethical illegal.

4. You require help with the people side of things

• You are an expert in the product or service, but
  are you a specialist on the People as well? A
  good HR professional can aid to determine what
  will make employees the comfortable most
  productive. HRs can decrease the amount of
  paperwork on the desk, develop processes that
  can streamline personnel matters. HRs can also
  counsel, coach, advise employees help smooth
  over ruffled feathers. This skill does not come
  naturally to every startup founder, so it is
  worth looking.

5. You are struggling with manual recruitment
process

• Because the primary purpose of HR is to support
  the business success, having an effective
  recruitment process is of utmost importance. HR
  professionals, not only have the right skills and
  knowledge, but also they can share the vision of
  the company with the targeted candidates. HRs
  carry expertise in implementing online
  recruitment management tools to bring quick
  closures for fast growing companies.
