In this episode, I’m thrilled to be joined by Sarah Ropek, the Founder of People Management Partners, an HR consultancy committed to delivering HR solutions to start-up, small and medium sized businesses.

In this conversation, Sarah and I explore the world of HR for Small Businesses – and how small business owners can best approach the people side of their businesses.

🌟 Some of my favourite parts were:

✅ Developing your team’s skills and using competency frameworks to do so;

✅ Hiring for shared values amongst your management team as you scale;

✅ Forecasting for staff fluctuations and seasonality in your business;

✅ Rules of thumb around hiring full time vs. fractional staff;

✅ The benefits of virtual co-working for hybrid teams.
