PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT

SETUP, SYSTEMS AND PROCESSES IN HR, INCLUDING SALARY CALCULATION
A brand-new business has few staff, and every employee must take on much more responsibility with many more tasks. At the same time the Personnel Department of a startup must run better and more effectively than a big company!
 
The Personnel Department must be so arranged, that it makes sense in every way, including being designed for the growth of a startup. Many startup founders shy away from the hard work necessary to establish the necessary structures for a Personnel Department, given the time and cost involved. But it's exactly here, where the investment must be made.
 
The HR staff should not be overworked with stress and high pressure, but rather be able to work in a  motivated and structured way. Workers in startups should feel comfortable visiting the Personnel Department, to be met with a smile.
The Personnel Department: a place where employees feel respected and secure, and where every need is dealt with quickly, professionally and with confidentiality.

A SELECTION OF QUOTES FROM OUR CLIENTS BEFORE THEIR CONSULTATION WITH KICKSTART-HR
  • Sadly our HR Department is a mess and totally overworked! Up till now the HR Department has just grown, but we've somehow got to pull it together.
  •  The constant micro-management gets on my nerves, it's constantly causing conflict, and we're worried about resignations!
  • Our HR personnel have no experience with resignations, but they are about to happen, and HR will have to take part in the Exit interviews.
  • Help! Our tax adviser wants us to stop, because we're taking on too many employeees. Should we outsource salary calculations, or rather do it ourselves?
  • How does one do salary calculations and payments?
  • Somehow we've got a whole variety of salaries for people doing the same kinds of work; no structure in our salary system.
  • Once again an HR manager resigned because of overwork, but we can't take on more employees in HR!
