HR Guy Featured on the Ryan & Nate Business Podcast
Check out "HR Guy" Ian Schotanus on Another Business Podcast!
Ian Schotanus is at his best when he's playing "Stump the HR Guy" and responding to whatever topics get thrown at him. And his discussion on the Ryan & Nate Business Podcast is no exception!
Here are a few topics that are discussed in the podcast, which is worth a listen to get all the details.
When should I get HR help? BEFORE you hire your first employee, not after you have a full team and a handful of issues.
How do you know it's past the time to let someone go? Well, if you have a company policy that you can tie to a specific person, you definitely kept that person on too long.
Is your advice always to fire the problem employee? No... but typically by the time a company reaches out to us, they've let the problem continue so long that there aren't any other options. It's better to call for advice before it gets to that point.
Why's a personalized employee handbook important? A personalized handbook allows you to work ON your business instead of IN it. To quote the podcast hosts: creating an employee handbook "can take you months, or it can take you one hour with the H.R. Guy."
Do you offer a free sample of HR advice? We get a lot of "longtime listener, first time callers" and Ian is always willing to give a free sample of our services to help people off the ledge. It's not about making a quick sale but about helping business owners succeed.
How does the HR Guy help a business? Everything I do is about minimizing the risk.
What happens when employers ignore the advice you give? What do you think of non-compete agreements for technicians? Do you ever let employees directly contact you and your team? How did your business change since Covid? What are some goofy HR situations that have crossed your desk? Listen to the podcast to find out the answers to these questions, and more!
