Scaling With People Partnering With Guide To HR | Skyler Mattson
Keeping HR at a basic level can limit the potential of your organization to scale. While performing essential tasks such as payroll, training, and support are necessary, HR executives can bring much more to the table. By involving them in decision-making processes and having them weigh in on important decisions, organizations can benefit from their expertise in areas such as talent management, employee engagement, and organizational culture. Hiring a full-time or part-time HR executive can be a wise investment that pays off in the long run, as they can provide strategic insight that can help propel the business forward. By taking a more proactive approach to HR, you can foster a culture of growth and development that benefits both the business and its employees.
