Human resources, in some form or other, is an issue for businesses, organizations, and institutions of all sizes, industries, and practices. For small to medium sized businesses (SMBs), human resources elsewhere can be especially challenging on a number of levels – from hiring and benefits, to safety and compliance.

It’s easy to overlook the importance of human resources and compliance issues. In fact, SMBs face significant enforcement and compliance risks in areas such as labor laws, civil rights, and benefits management. Regardless of whether your organization is a retail, commercial, or professional services business or a non-profit firm, it’s critical to be knowledgeable about HR-specific laws and create appropriate policies and procedures. Once the policies are established, they must be effectively communicated and implemented. If you do not have human resources expertise within your organization, it’s crucial to receive third party human resources support from an outside source such as the Melody Beach Consulting Group which specializes in human resources and compliance services.
Human resources policies provide the framework in which workplace expectations and values are communicated. They allow for structure, consistency and transparency. In the US, companies are required by law to document certain policies and make them available to employees. Many companies choose to include additional policies in their employee handbooks that speak to workplace practices that are specific to them or their industry.
