Andrea Herran, an experienced Human Resources consultant, shares tips on things for startups and small businesses to consider before hiring their first employees.
Some of the most common mistakes are:
- Forgetting about or delaying some of the benefit and employee policy decisions,
- Hiring a salesperson in the belief that they will justify their expense by bringing in lots more revenue,
- Hiring someone who thinks too much like the founder(s), and
- Failing to focus on employee development as the company grows.
Andrea’s company, Focus HR, provides not only question- and project-specific H.R. assistance, but is also the outsourced H.R. department for several small companies.
She brings a wealth of practical insights to help startups and small businesses successfully hire their first employees and arm the company for future growth.
