Why Googling HR Issues Is A Bad Idea:
In a recent conversation with a client, we spoke of employees having access to the internet. We both agreed that this can be a blessing or a curse depending on the day of the week in the HR world. Prior to working with CorpStart HR, this client said their company handled information on employment laws and other topics one of two ways:
- Googling it themselves, or
- Calling an attorney.
Calling their attorney was often a good experience. As a trusted advisor with extensive knowledge of their business, they knew they could trust the information being provided. At times this became cost prohibitive so they would Google the issue. This resulted in a mixed bag of opinions with a sprinkle of the law depending on the subject.
This, in turn, led to confusion and frustration. With employment laws changing daily, why take the risk Googling for answers. Know who and where you are getting the information from before you trust what is being said.
HR solutions are rarely one-size fits all. Every business has a unique footprint and when googling for answers you can’t get into the weeds of the issue. Partnering with an HR Professional who is well-trained on a myriad of topics and can personalize solutions that fit a business needs in key HR areas such as employee relations, compliance, training and development, culture, and much more is essential.
