With fewer than 10 employees, Southeast Financial Group has little need for a human resources department. To help answer questions when an HR expert isn’t around, David Innis, co-owner of the Nashville, Tenn.-based financial planning business, turns to http://HR.com.HR.com offers free information on topics like labor relations, compensation and benefits, labor laws, organizational development and more. Updated daily, it also offers the latest news that would affect your employees, like new OSHA regulations or proposed changes to the minimum wage.
Perfect for the small business that can’t afford an HR expert, this is an excellent and inexpensive way to find the information you need to help manage your people, Innis says.
“Some employers resort to paying large fees to HR consulting firms, when all they really want is to do is have a grasp that they are on track and know that they aren’t doing anything illegal or in violation of any labor law,” says Innis. “HR.com is a great online resource to answer all those HR questions that small-business owners don’t have the answers to at their fingertips.”
Free registration on HR.com gives you access to all areas of the Web site, broken down into sections like staffing, HR management, training and legal. The site also allows users to find a vendor or consultant, sign up for training courses, join online discussions and browse or purchase related books or manuals.
