Attention: Small Business Owners...Stop Guessing! Here’s How You Can
|

Rich Lukesh |
Dear Business Owner,
What's the most precious resource in your business? Your time! Time that should be spent on the things only you can do... NOT burning your valuable minutes on things that are easily delegated.
Take HR or Human Resources... it's an important part of every business that should be delegated by the owner. Unfortunately, many times there isn't someone already on staff who you can delegate HR related things to.
So, what do you do then?
Hi, Rich Lukesh here. My clients call me the "HR Contrarian" because I have the unique ability to take non-traditional methods and customize them to work in any traditional business environment.
In a few moments, I’m going to introduce you to one of my “outside the box” ideas that will dramatically improve your business!
But for now, let's take something as simple as finding an answer to a Human Resource related problem. If you have an HR Department, then all it takes is one phone call and you're done.
The problem is, many small businesses don't have a dedicated HR Department in-house. If they’re lucky, they have a person on their staff who does “HR activities”... along with a bunch of other tasks.
AND hardly ever is this person an HR Professional who eats, sleeps, and breathes HR.
AND hardly ever is this person a member of any professional association of HR Managers such as the national Society for Human Resource Managers (SHRM).
Sure this person can answer simple payroll and benefit questions, but what about more complex issues like…
- Preventing wrongful termination suits.
- Talking a supervisor through a tricky disciplinary action meeting.
- And many more…
So what do you do with these complex issues?
Like all good business executives, you hop on the internet and surf the information superhighway for the next 3 hours. Eventually, you find something resembling the answer you were looking for and decide to use it.
Let me ask you something really important...
Did you save a few bucks looking up the answer yourself instead using an outside consultant?
Maybe.
The bigger question is, what's your time worth?
If you're a business owner, the simple answer is that your time is probably worth $150 per hour or more. So you wasted $450 worth of time to save yourself $25. Puts things in a different perspective, huh?
Is the answer you found online (a) 100% accurate and (b) up-to-date?
You better hope so.
Because if it's not, you just opened the legal version of Pandora's Box by following that inaccurate advice.
These are the 2 biggest problems that my clients are faced with when they finally call me for help.
So what are your alternatives? (1) Hire your own full-time HR Manager with salary and benefits for $60k per year or (2) Bring-in an HR consultant for a minimum fee to answer a simple question.
Both answers are like using a bazooka to kill a fly: It's 100% effective but a touch of overkill for the size of the problem.
The truth is that 80% of HR questions from small businesses can be answered in less than 10 minutes.
Here is a sample of some small business questions that I regularly hear:
- I’m hiring a new employee as a foreman. Can I place him on a salary and make him exempt from overtime?
- I don’t have a Drug Policy but I suspect an employee’s work is declining because she is on drugs. What can I do?
- I have an EEO protected employee who is not meeting performance expectations. Can I terminate the person?
- I’m holding a staff meeting on the weekend when everyone is off. Do I have to pay people to attend?
- I have a female employee who is claiming sexual harassment by a male supervisor. Can the company get sued now that she has advised us of the situation?
FACT: You need fast and accurate answers to questions such as these without worrying about a consultant’s billable hours!
And, you need that depth of HR Experience for those more complicated legal and employee relations issues that can have a negative financial impact on your company.
That’s where having access to an HR Professional is the “Ace in the Hole” that you need to have!
