Cisso Bean & Dutch HR Consultants

Many companies, particularly small start-ups, find it challenging to manage the human aspect of their operations. You are focused on developing your brand, refining your products and services, and controlling operating expenses to achieve profitability. Consequently, HR matters often get sidelined until you can address them or are compelled to deal with them. In a prior blog titled “Is Do It Yourself HR Really Worth It?”, we examined the numerous advantages that a human resources consultant or partner can bring to your organization. This is particularly relevant for small to medium-sized businesses that do not have a dedicated HR Specialist or Manager on their team. It may not seem financially viable to you at this moment, but engaging an HR consultant will ultimately save you both time and money in the future.

Check out a few reasons you should get some help in your HR department:

YOU NEED HELP ATTRACTING SKILLED TALENT.

With a volatile job market, highly selective candidates, people going into business for themselves, the work-life balance priority of candidates, and the still prevalent gig economy, finding highly-qualified and available talent can be a challenge.

Developing a targeted strategy to find and attract qualified individuals can take a lot of time and effort for many businesses. By using the human resources consulting services of Cisso Bean & Dutch, LLC as your dedicated partner, we can manage end-to-end recruiting for you. Our team of associates has over 25 years in the field of recruiting at all levels and at a fraction of the cost of traditional executive search firms and temp-to-perm employment agencies.

YOU NEED HELP WITH MULTIPLE HR-RELATED PROJECTS.

Our firm can build onboarding and new professional assimilation programs, develop internship programs, implement employee pulse surveys, conduct HR Audits, enhance website content with a people focus, generate employee engagement activities and retention enhancers, and tackle the daunting task of updating (or even constructing) an employee handbook, plus more.

One approach that has worked for some of our clients is to consider a retainer arrangement. We’ve found over the last few years that this is a great approach when you have several HR projects in need of completion but competing priorities seem to move them to the back burner.

YOU WANT HELP WITH BUILDING “OPEN DOOR” COMMUNICATION PROCESSES.

It’s important to have someone in place to bridge communication gaps between company management and employees. Your employees need somewhere to turn to voice frustrations with the company and report any wrongdoings. A lack of human resources help or a process in place to effectively listen to concerns, communicate change, or establish basic work protocols can result in unhappy employees, which will most likely result in a drop in productivity, higher attrition rates, and an impact on company revenue.

YOU NEED TIME TO FOCUS ELSEWHERE.

As a manager or business owner, your time and effort is more than likely stretched across different areas. A quality HR representative can relieve you from the stress of HR responsibilities. He or she can reduce the amount of paperwork on your desk, develop essential processes to streamline employee issues, and train and develop employees which will allow you more time to devote to other key business priorities.

If you’re a business owner, manager, or executive who often finds yourself doubling as an HR manager, seek out the services of a dedicated Human Resources consultant. Outsourcing your HR priorities can lessen your workload and improve employer-employee interactions. Here at Cisso Bean & Dutch, we’d love to help you make more time for your business.
