I’ve seen many small companies struggle with HR policies, compliance, and employee engagement. We’re currently debating if working with an HR partner would make things smoother for us. In one of my searches, I noticed The HR Boutique, but I’m unsure how effective these kinds of boutique HR services really are compared to larger firms. For those of you who have partnered with external HR consultants, what best practices should we follow to get the most value? I’d really like to avoid mistakes others may have made and hear about what worked well.
