Summary
DIY HR gets the job done, until it doesn’t. In this episode, Sabrina and Marie break down the difference between reactive HR and intentional HR, share six common mistakes they see with real clients every day, and explain why small businesses actually carry more risk per employee, not less. You’ll leave with a clear picture of what intentional HR looks like in practice and one question to help you figure out where to start.
