No, but it helps. A business can survive without HR, as many do, however a lack of HR structure can be evident to new employees, customers and important business partners. Employee interactions, communications and morale are big indicators. One reason smaller companies might not focus on improving HR is because they first need to keep their business profitable and just haven't the time to stop and understand the advantages of what a solid HR program offers. In reality, fundamental HR standards can be implimented at a worksite by a professional with just a small investment of time and effort. Unfortunately due to management's lack of time and experience, these basic Human Resource initiatives continue to be ranked at the bottom of the daily priority list. For example, consider how much money is wasted by companies when they have to replace a new hire who wasn't the best fit for the position. This is just ONE of many areas where better HR standards and training would save time, money and employee morale. When do we establish a Human Resource department? Your business may not need a full time or part time HR person right away - or ever. Many businesses have the capacity to handle HR responsibilities by delegating in-house. This is a great way to spread out the responsibility of HR so long as the people handling the responsibility are not putting the business at risk through their rules, actions, comments, techniques, etc. At the same time, it's fair to say many managers could use a level of HR training including policy and procedure updates in order to learn better ways to accomplish their goals. For businesses without on-site HR help, chances are things keep clicking along; until that day something happens and there's a realization that HR help was needed months before. At some point, the way managers are trained to handle employment issues yesterday will not apply to the way things need to happen tomorrow. Most businesses will never be large enough to require teams of HR people with specializations in information systems, payroll, interviewing, recruiting, training, safety, insurance, compliance, legal and more. So, when delegating those duties, think about "whats the experience of the person picking up the load" and "when is it time to take HR to the next level" ? What is best for the business?
