Resources for Small and Growing Employers
Smaller organizations often need HR tools that are practical, accessible, and easy to implement without a large internal HR infrastructure.
Our HR compliance training and resources for small businesses guide provides additional ideas for building stronger workplace processes as an organization grows.
How to Choose the Right HR Resources
The right HR resource depends on the problem an employer is trying to solve. A new hire packet may be useful during onboarding, while a termination checklist may be more appropriate at the end of employment. Multi-state employers may need jurisdiction-specific tools, while organizations focused on workforce development may benefit more from training or leadership resources.
Before selecting a resource, consider:
- The HR process or workplace issue being addressed
- The employee's work location
- Whether federal, state, or local requirements may apply
- The size and structure of the organization
- Whether the need involves forms, guidance, training, or a combination
- Who will be responsible for implementing the resource internally
