HR consulting experts
for small businesses

THE SMALL BUSINESS CHALLENGE
Who is handling your HR?
Most businesses with fewer than 50 employees have no dedicated HR department. HR work usually falls to the director or an admin staff member on top of their other duties. Mistakes often only surface once they have become risks.
Contracts and work rules copied from old templates
Not aligned with the 2019 Labour Code or the reality of the business. Salaries in contracts don't match the insurance contribution base.
Pay, bonuses and hiring based on gut feeling
No salary scale and no evaluation tools, making it hard to retain good people and to grow.
Caught off guard when issues arise
When disciplinary action, contract termination or a workplace accident occurs, the business lacks supporting records and doesn't know the correct procedure.
WHAT LỘC DU HR DELIVERS
Understand it right, do it right
and build a system for growth
Know your obligations
Know what your business must do, when, and under which rules on labour, social insurance and occupational safety.
Reduce risk
Spot non-compliance early, with a remediation roadmap and a well-founded procedure for handling cases.
Save costs

Pay, rewards, evaluation and training designed around your business goals at each stage.
Insurance benefits
Backed by insurance experts: advice on group health and accident insurance as employee benefits.
