One tiny business called "Green Garden Supplies", had a small but dedicated team of employees, including an HR person who managed all the HR-related tasks.
The business sold gardening equipment and supplies.
One day, the HR person unexpectedly resigned, leaving the business without any HR support. The business owners were shocked and worried about how they would manage all the HR tasks that needed to be done.
They were concerned about recruiting and hiring new employees, handling payroll and benefits, and ensuring compliance with labor laws.
The owners tried to manage the HR tasks themselves, but it quickly became overwhelming. They were spending all their time dealing with HR issues instead of focusing on growing the business.
They also realized that they didn't have the expertise or knowledge to handle all the HR tasks effectively.
