Here’s how to build HR foundations that scale:
Start with the Basics:
- Employment contracts
- Onboarding checklist
- Leave management system (even a spreadsheet at first)
- Core HR policies
Add As You Grow:
- Role descriptions and KPIs
- Simple performance review process
- Payroll system or provider
- Document management & governance
Eventually:
- Leadership capability training
- Engagement surveys
- HR software
Tip: Don’t over-engineer it. Keep it practical and fit for your current stage.
