Empowering Smes

Welcome to Empowering SMEs. An awareness of human resources laws and best practices is an important component of a company director’s and committee member’s knowledge base. Whilst it is true that directors should authorise a company’s human resources system and that it is management’s role to implement that system, directors have an ongoing responsibility to regularly enquire as to the effectiveness of the system. Many directors of small/medium enterprise companies will also be management team members and they, therefore, have two key responsibilities – as a director, signing off on the human resources policy and monitoring the effectiveness of the system and as a management team member, implementing the human resources’ system.
