Human Resources Problems: When to hire an HR Manager [infographic]

Posted by TribeHR Staff on Thu, Sep 29, 2011
 

When you have more staffing issues than you're capable of dealing with, it can really hurt your organization's bottom line. But don't worry—HR can help!

For a growing business, hiring a Human Resources Generalist can be the cure for all of your management woes. Forget fretting over recruiting, employee relations, benefits packages, or policies and procedures. Hire an HR pro, and let the pain go away.

The big companies you compete with often have dozens of HR staff. When's the right time for small and medium businesses to hire an HR manager? Let our handy infographic guide you:

 

Overwhelmed? It might be time to hire HR. When is the right time to hire HR? Did you know: Companies with 50 or fewer employees rarely have a formal human resources department? The average ratio of HR rep to employee is approximately 1 for every 50 to 55 employees. That would mean an organization with 100 employees should have 2 HR reps; 1000 employees should have 20 HR reps; 10000 employees should have 200 HR reps. Checklist: When one or more of the following occur, you probably need to hire a HR manager. 1. You're opening a second location. 2. You're hiring new employees at an increasing rate. 3. Employee relations issues are on the rise. 4. Compensation and benefits programs are being re-engineered or have become disorganized. 5. You're worried about litigation or a lawsuit. 6. You believe you can run everything yourself. 7. You can no longer look around the office and call each employee by their name. 8. When the staff resources consumed by tasks that can be managed by a human-resources director exceed the cost of hiring one. Tips: How to hire an HR manager. Remember: You want an HR Manager who will be qualified to help you as you grow. If you are growing, it may make sense to hire an HR manager who has run a department for a company that is twice as large as your own—even if the cost will likely be higher. To get a better understanding of what the position you'll be offering will entail, don't be afraid to take the time necessary to carefully write out a job description. An HR job description may include: Design and administration of employee policies and employee compensation programs. Managing incentive pay and salary oversight. Administrating employee benefit programs. Overseeing the staffing process, including hiring and firing. Administering worker-training programs.
