10 Strategies For Minimizing Worker Protection Risks During Lean Business Growth

During times of growth, many businesses focus their energy—and money—on areas that are absolutely necessary to company survival. That means that plenty of small businesses and new companies may eschew traditional HR while trying to remain lean and focused on keeping the vital organs running.

While this method may generally work, sometimes the lack of HR can cause massive internal damage. One example is a situation where worker protections are questioned, sometimes without clear answers.
