Build an Infrastructure for Human Resources (9/9)

Neglecting to build a Human Resources infrastructure, despite not having enough employees to justify hiring a full-time HR person is a common mistake that most startups make. By the time startups reach critical mass with headcount, founders often have made potentially litigious mistakes in benefits, offer letters and other hiring matters. The cost-effective alternative to either outsourcing HR to a PEO or to hiring a full-time HR generalist is to bring in a consultant to build the infrastructure and train an office manager or administrative assistant to handle transactional details.
