Client Background
A company owner launched a business with the vision of growing rapidly. Believing in trust and familiarity, he initially hired family members and their references. While this seemed like a safe and reliable approach, it soon turned into a major roadblock for growth.
Challenges Faced
As the business started growing, the owner faced unexpected challenges:
- Lack of Performance & Accountability: Family members and close references became complacent, treating the company as a comfort zone rather than a professional workplace.
- Toxic Work Culture: These employees started dominating new hires, discouraging them, and creating an unhealthy work environment.
- High Attrition & Rising Costs: New hires, unable to work in the toxic atmosphere, resigned frequently, leading to high attrition and increasing recruitment costs.
- Emotional Struggles: The business owner wanted to enforce discipline but felt emotionally trapped, unable to take tough decisions against family members.
- No HR System: With no proper HR structure, performance management, or reporting lines, the company lacked clarity in roles and responsibilities

After a consultation with the business owner, we implemented a structured HR framework:
- Defined Roles & Responsibilities: Clearly outlined job descriptions, key result areas (KRAs), and reporting structures to bring accountability.
- Performance Monitoring: Established a data-driven performance tracking system to evaluate employees objectively.
- Company-Wide HR Policies: Introduced policies that applied to all employees equally, removing favoritism and setting clear expectations.

📌 Better Decision-Making for the Owner – With structured HR policies, the owner could make professional decisions without emotional burden.
