Answering your startup business HR questions

Investing in HR early on in the development of your business will ensure strong foundations are in place as your business grows. Utilising outsourced HR will mean you can focus on growing your business, and let the professionals take care of HR matters.

Not only can you utilise professional HR services to recruit the best team, but ongoing HR investment will also ensure important processes such as absence management, payroll, and health and safety compliance are all being carefully managed. This can help to create a healthy company culture and employee engagement, leading to better staff retention, productivity, and creativity.

The best HR software for startups will be flexible and streamlined, helping to make HR processes much more efficient. This will mean that even with a small team, you can ensure HR matters are properly managed without wasting time or resources.

Vero HR provides a range of cloud-based tech solutions that can be tailored to your specific needs. Our tools will do the work for you, maintaining accuracy and compliance with a cost-effective solution.

Finding the right talent can be a big challenge for startups. When the business is still making a name for itself, it can be difficult to ensure job postings are seen by the right people. Without top talent, a startup may struggle to develop properly or grow as quickly as planned.

Another common challenge for startups is establishing a company culture and expectations for employees. In the early stages, the focus will primarily be on increasing sales, potentially at the expense of company culture. Without a coherent and positive culture, the team could become divided and confused, resulting in lower engagement and in turn, under-performance.

Vero HR can help your startup overcome these and more common HR challenges. From recruiting the right people to writing HR policies and employee handbooks, we can help to create an engaged, dedicated team and a strong company culture for your business.

Payroll can be a complicated process. Whilst it’s imperative for your employees that it’s done accurately, doing so without the necessary skills can take up a lot of time. Even using payroll software can be tricky if the individual doesn’t have any experience.

Instead, some startups prefer to outsource their payroll to a professional payroll team as a cost-effective solution to keeping payroll running correctly and on time, without using up valuable resources. Vero HR can manage your payroll for you, ensuring tax, National Insurance, and other statutory deductions are taken care of along with managing pensions.

Recruiting talent can be a challenge for startups. You’ll need to find the best talent but won’t be able to rely on brand reputation to attract people. Instead, you’ll need to ensure your job posting has the right wording and is put in the right places, so the best possible candidates apply for your vacancies.

A professional recruitment team, like our in-house recruitment experts at Vero HR, can manage the entire recruitment process for you, from producing copy for your job advert through to interviewing candidates. We’ll work with you to ensure we have intimate knowledge of the role and your startup, so we can guarantee the right fit for your team.

As a business owner, you are responsible for the health and safety of your staff, customers, and visitors. Having a health and safety policy in place from the start will ensure your business creates a safe working environment so you can avoid hazards, risks, and accidents. 

Vero HR can help you draft and distribute detailed health and safety policies and handbooks for your startup, keeping your business compliant and your employees safe.

Keeping your team productive with clear goals and a positive work environment is crucial for startups. Vero HR can help you reward your staff with a range of specialist pay and benefits services, including incentive and bonus schemes such as sales incentives and share options. We’ll help your startup to show your employees they’re valued, keeping them motivated and productive.
