Small Business

LUXA Enterprises - Human Resource Services

We live in a rapidly changing world. These changes include how we manage and lead

employees. Recent studies by Human Resources professionals identified a number of

challenges facing employers of all sizes.

Retaining and developing top performers

As the workforce gets older, finding ways to attract younger employees will be

important. Developing new nontraditional compensation formulas and work hour

flexibility will help attract and retain top performers.

Employee training

An employee development plan will move your organization closer to its long term

strategic goals.

Technology

Keeping your organizations technology up to date (hardware & software) will be

critical in your future success.

Understanding compliance issues

There are increasing federal, state, and even local statutes, laws, and rules that

every business must follow. Developing an understanding of these mandates will help

keep your business out of trouble.

Failure to have written job descriptions

Every job should have a specific job description outlining the tasks necessary to complete the job. This should include

skills and training needed by the employee.

Lack of a formal hiring process

Every business should have a hiring process that includes:1. Detailed application2. Background checks3. Past employer reference checks4. Drug testing, if needed5. An interview process that includes more than one person6. Personality testing if appropriate
