Succeed

• Small businesses must deal with a lot of tasks
  related to HR, and without a department devoted
  entirely to it, or the help of a third party,
  they can become overwhelming, fast.
• Below are some of the most important HR tasks for
  small businesses, which only serves to highlight
  the great responsibility that comes with them,
  not to mention the time it takes to carry them
  all out effectively
• Policy communication every time a new employee
  is hired, its your companys responsibility to
  ensure that theyre formally introduced to the
  culture, processes and policies of the business.
  In order to limit liability and help employees to
  succeed, each policy related to behaviour and
  performance must be well-defined and effectively
  explained.

• Employee development plans a business is able
  to far more effectively plan its hiring and
  training needs if there is a detailed employee
  development plan in place.
• Employee positioning the only way for any small
  business to be a true success, is if it maximizes
  the skills and talents of its workforce, and this
  starts with a hiring process that targets
  high-potential employees.
• There are also a vast number of mistakes to avoid
  when conducting payroll, and if you work with a
  payroll provider, you wont have to worry too
  much about any of the following

• Not hiring well
• In general, its always worth investing time,
  energy, money and resources into recruiting the
  right candidates for the right positions within
  your business, and this includes conducting
  background checks and reference checks. Hiring
  the wrong person can sometimes have devastating
  consequences for the business as a whole.
• Failing to document everything
• Even smaller businesses must take note of, and
  document, any performance related issues and be
  ready to present them formally to the employee in
  questions, with a clear plan in place as to what
  the next course of action may be.

• Not creating clear and accurate job descriptions
• By giving employees an accurate representation of
  what the job entails, youre enabling them to get
  a positive start, and giving them the best chance
  of success.
• Be sure to include what skills, training and
  educational qualifications they should possess in
  order to fulfil the role to the best of their
  ability.
• Failing to understand and adhere to the law
• Employment laws must be adhered to at all times,
  and if they are broken, whether inadvertently or
  otherwise, the consequences can be extremely
  damaging for the business.

• Not properly classifying workers
• The U.S. Department of Labors guidelines are in
  place for a reason, and failing to adhere to them
  by misclassifying employees to save money, is
  never a smart move.
