The small business HR professional has a unique work environment.
For one, HR departments in small businesses are typically quite
small, often consisting of only one or two employees. Because of
this, these HR professionals are usually expected to be generalists
able to answer all HR-related questions. But because there are only
one or two of them, they are also expected to be specialists in
those same areas. With so much responsibility, how do small
business HR professionals have time to focus on their own
professional development? And where to start? Surveys demonstrates
that building career-long business, interpersonal, and leadership
competencies should be the goal of every HR practitioner. Business
Acumen falls within the first category. An HR professional who
understands the business as a whole is better equipped to make
decisions that positively affect the entire business. HR
professionals in small businesses have more opportunities to do
this than in larger organizations simply because the smaller size
helps reduce the barriers to knowledge of various functions. The
purpose of Developing Business Acumen is to provide the small
business HR professional with a practical, hit-the-ground-running
guide to becoming a more effective business partner. The reader
will learn the elements of business acumen, such as: Reading and
understanding a company's P&L statement; Formulating and
tracking metrics that help implement HR programs; Communicating
more effectively with other departments and throughout the
organization; Developing mutually beneficial relationships with
sales and marketing; Conducting environmental scans that can lead
to positively influencing the organization; and Expanding an
entrepreneurial spirit to enhance corporate culture. This is the
first book in the Making an Impact in Small Business HR Series.
