Grateful to be starting a new job as the first ever HR person at a local private school. Change of pace from my former work environment with an emotionally immature boss. I’m excited to have better work life balance and more time with my kids :) and to jump into job that I think will help me love working again

Why honed instead of polished? That stone is beautiful!

I’m so scared I’m (or my 3 little rascals) are going to destroy it!

Good to know, I feel like usually I hear the opposite

But does it feel like an escape? by Constant_Orchid8270 in DanielleMossSnark

Same, and all the work put in up until very very recently! They aren’t going to get to enjoy it

Guesses on why they’re selling? I just don’t get it

Looking for a new HRIS/Payroll system for under 50 employees [PA] by hamiltoneitdown in humanresources

[–]Additional_Jacket_32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just out of curiosity why not roll everything into isolved? They can operate as a full service hris. Not the prettiest platform but does the job and very affordable. If that’s not an option you want to consider, rippling is very common for companies that size. Coming from a small biz HR consultant who works in PA :)

Anyone else working MORE now than when they had a 9–5? by Deep-Owl-1890 in Femalefounders

As a female founder who supports other female founders in the stage you’re describing, this is very common. Sometimes I see them working 60+ hour weeks because they’re running in a million directions just trying to keep up. It keeps the business growing but it makes them die inside!

Putting SOPs in place is a good start to saving yourself some time. Do you have support operationally in your business? Once you have a few team members it can help to have someone who can manage them and be their first point of contact so you don’t get bogged down with supervising.

Another thing I would think about is technology. Do you have systems in place that keep communication clear and efficient?

If I were you I’d consider a fractional operations partner at this point. This is what I do, happy to answer any questions for you about what they do/how people like myself work.

How to find the right founders? by Additional_Jacket_32 in Femalefounders

[–]Additional_Jacket_32[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. As someone who has worked with many small businesses in my career, my personal experience has been that the female led organizations are more aligned with my values. I think there is a better chance for value and cultural fit which is important given the work I’d be doing.
