Learn how you can get more out of your work week.

Break free from the burden of ad hoc HR.

2

Over the years, the HR role has evolved.

When you look at small businesses in particular, you’ll notice an interesting phenomenon.

3

It’s what happens to HR duties when they’re not actually written into anyone’s job description.

(Hint: The duties don’t just go away.)

4

We’re talking about the people who take care of HR tasks in addition to their primary roles in the company.

They’re called ad hoc HR managers (aHRMs).

20% of the workweek.

That’s how much aHRMs, those not dedicated to HR, spend on HR- related tasks.

All of which pulls them away from their day jobs. That’s a massive opportunity cost.

6

Who does the burden fall on?

CEOs, office managers, business owners. Maybe it’s you.

70%of businesses with

between 5 and 49 employees have

businesses in the United States.

That’s 1.5 million

It’s a necessity of growing businesses — but it can also be stressful and confusing.

81% of aHRMs lack confidence in handling their HR tasks.

8

So what kind of tasks are distracting aHRMs from their primary jobs?

9

Tasks like:• Hiring

• Compliance

• Performance and engagement

• Payroll and tax processing

• Medical and health benefits

• Employee development and training

• Retirement plan administration

10

Pretty much everything a dedicated HR manager does.

So what’s the big deal?

For thousands of small businesses, it makes sense to work this way.

So we’re not suggesting you need to hire a dedicated HR manager tomorrow.

11

But there are risks businesses need to be aware of when they entrust such important duties to someone who lacks the proper training and tools.

of aHRMs have no formal HR training.82%

12

And it could be bad for business. Businesses with aHRMs are far less likely to offer health and retirement benefits, which could impact their ability to attract and retain top talent.

And not everyone is happy being an aHRM —

only one in 10 really enjoys this stuff.

13

Not to mention the distraction from critical leadership tasks. If you’re a business owner, you could end up with the worst of both worlds:

• Key business tasks get neglected because you’re tied up in HR red tape

• You struggle to gain confidence in HR compliance

14

Ad hoc HR managers will continue to pick up HR duties in most small businesses, which can potentiallylead to:

• Higher incidences of significant HR-related issues

• Working longer hours to handle secondary HR tasks

• Difficulty dealing with headcount growth

• Challenges with navigating compliance rules associated with hiring, firing, and performance management processes
