Most business owners don’t avoid HR on purpose. It’s just not the most urgent thing on any given day. There are clients to serve. Revenue to generate. Operations to manage. So, HR becomes something you’ll “get to later.” But here’s the reality: Avoiding HR doesn’t eliminate the cost. It just delays it. And when it shows up, it’s usually bigger than expected.
