To Hire Or Not to Hire: HR Issues Affecting Small Business in 2015

American small business employs the majority of the nation’s private workforce with 56.1 million people. Compared to the 51.6 million employees in the enterprise sector, these figures alone show how impactful small business employment is on our economy and people. According to ADP employment records, small businesses created 108,000 jobs in March 2015. As the year moves forward, so does small business hiring, albeit cautiously. As they look to slowly but surely add to their workforce, small businesses are tapping cloud-based tools to manage their staff and customer relationships. From a management perspective, the biggest concern small business owners are facing in the HR realm is the cost of the Affordable Care Act’s implementation. Though they are feeling more knowledgeable about the law’s requirements, they are still concerned with the hefty cost associated.
