As a small or medium-sized business leader, managing human resources can be particularly challenging. For some, it’s about maintaining morale and meeting compliance requirements. For others, it’s about strategically growing your team and elevating performance standards. Recognising when and how to seek external HR consulting expertise can be important for your business. Let’s take a look at your HR consultancy options and things to consider when deciding what's best for you… Internal HR Department - Many SMBs prefer an internal HR professional for cost-effectiveness and swift decision-making. However, balancing administrative tasks and strategic initiatives can be overwhelming at times. Employment Relations Support - Providers like Employsure focus on compliance and workplace safety, offering 24/7 support. While valuable, businesses might need additional resources for broader HR functions. Independent HR Consultants/Freelancers - They offer specialised, flexible support. However, their availability can vary, and long-term commitment might be limited. Recruitment Companies - They excel in talent acquisition with extensive candidate networks and streamlined processes and focus primarily on recruitment. HR Companies like Inject - Inject offers comprehensive and tailored HR solutions aligned with business objectives, enhancing employee engagement and talent retention. This investment requires active collaboration but significantly reduces HR-related risks. Choosing the Right HR Consulting Solution - Consider budget, expertise, scalability, and strategic alignment with business goals. If Inject sounds like it could be the solution for your small to medium business, get in contact with a member of the Inject HR team or email Tommy at tommysim@inject.com.au You can read the full blog article here: https://lnkd.in/gGqBy3-9 #HRtips #MelbourneHRconsultants #HRguide #SMBs #smallbusinesses

The cost of retaining a toxic employee often outweighs their productivity benefits. While toxic employees may meet or exceed their performance targets, their toxic behaviour can have a huge impact on company culture. If you have a toxic employee in your business and need to let them go, here’s some things to consider.* 1. Identify Toxic Workers Identifying toxic employees means looking at their interactions, morale impact, and cultural alignment. Signs include negativity, undermining, resistance to feedback, and lack of cooperation or respect for norms. 2. Bring in an Expert to Manage Toxic Employees Outsourced HR assesses, mediates, and advises on termination if needed. 3. Considering the Decision to Terminate  To have grounds for firing a toxic employee you need records of their impact. Consider documentation, interventions, and response to feedback. If toxicity persists and harms the workplace, termination may be necessary. 4. Navigating the Termination Process Firing for toxic behaviour demands caution to mitigate legal risks. Clear communication, documentation, and legal compliance are crucial. HR consultants provide professional guidance for a compliant process. With Inject’s HR consulting services, businesses can navigate the challenging process of managing and, if necessary, firing toxic employees, ensuring a healthier, more productive workplace for everyone.

Does one bad apple spoil a company? Toxic employees can be a significant challenge in any work setting. Dealing with the employee might feel like a huge mountain to overcome. You may even find yourself rationalising or working around the person at the expense of your business’s health. Allowing toxic behaviours to fester affects overall productivity levels, potentially leading to the loss of top performers who may look for healthier work environments. By retaining a toxic employee, you’re also sending your team the message that this behaviour is okay. Here are 6 ways to counteract toxicity in the workplace… 1. The best approach to avoid toxic employees is to avoid hiring them in the first place. 2. Implement mechanisms for proactive performance reviews. 3. Work with an outsourced HR company that is proactive and can help you stay on top of it with the right plan, rather than having it all on your shoulders. 4. Equip managers with the skills to give feedback to their team in different ways. 5. Set clear expectations on the behaviours that are aligned to your desired culture. 6. Provide consistent feedback to allow for course corrections and improvements along the way, preventing major issues from arising. At Inject, our consultants are proactive in helping you minimise the impact of toxic employees—across the entire employee lifecycle, whether it’s during probation or navigating tricky situations among longstanding employees.
