The above statements might sound familiar to you; to many business owners and managers, the Human Resources Department can seem like an after-thought. After all, HR only matters when you have more than a certain number of employees, or when you need to hire a large number of people within a short period of time, right?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In this ever-changing global economy, the HR department (which consists of recruiters, administrative staff, payroll employees, and more) is an essential part of your profit-making machine.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This quote from Ray Dalio, the founder of Bridgewater Associates, illuminates how tricky it is to hire. Even though recruitment process automation (RPA)<\/a> tools have helped businesses to source and screen potential candidates quicker, there\u2019s still a need for an expert recruiter to manage the actual face-to-face interview. Only recruiters who have had the breath of expertise in hiring can differentiate between candidates that have the right fit for the company culture and those who will cost the company money in re-hiring.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After all, the costs of a bad hire are monumentally-larger than you might think. A <\/strong>2018 study <\/strong><\/a>showed that the average cost of hiring the wrong person was between $7,000 and $10,000 for an entry-level position!<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\u201cA bad hire is tremendously expensive for a company. The time and money managers spend on recruitment and training is lost, and they also have to fix under-performers\u2019 mistakes and deal with their effects on staff morale and productivity.\u201d\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In addition, there\u2019s also the cost of a bad hire affecting the rest of the workforce. Morale tends to drop when there is increased turnover; at the same time, a bad hire can lead to decreased productivity and reduced teamwork, when everyone has to spend extra time on managing the new addition to the team.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For business owners, the success of a company depends on the quality of its hires, and that depends on your recruiters and HR team.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At the same time, the HR department has to manage payroll, employee benefits, administrative matters, and more. While passion can drive employee growth, we cannot deny that giving them the adequate training and benefits will help too.<\/p>\n

The HR department is responsible for ensuring that<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. employees have a safe place to discuss tricky issues<\/li>\n
  2. all employees know about updates to employee benefits or events<\/li>\n
  3. staff members feel connected to other teams, keeping morale high<\/li>\n
  4. employees feel that the company is invested in their growth<\/li>\n
  5. employees are paid on time, with bonuses, CPF payments, and payslips disseminated on time (and accurately!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That doesn\u2019t only involve a single click; HR departments are always working on engaging training programmes and employee engagement programmes, which can be tough to execute amongst busy employees. New changes to pay or benefits also require the prompt attention of HR executives, who have the responsibility to fulfil management\u2019s promises to employees.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
