Tami Parker had a long career in corporate HR, but 7 years ago, with a leap of faith and a supportive husband, she founded UNIcycle Business Consulting. As with most of us, her early years were spent staying alive financially and doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but her growing firm has found its sweet spot as an off-site HR department for our region's small business enterprises. It’s often expensive for small businesses to have an HR expert on the team, so the office manager or the owner or the bookkeeper do the best they can - which can sometimes also be expensive! Tami and her team help their clients do everything HR, from creating employee handbooks and onboarding processes, to placing ads and vetting candidates from Indeed and other platforms, all on a contract basis based on team size!
At present time, our employee handbook at LoCo Think Tank is a 3-page Google document - which is about 3 pages more robust than it was a year ago! As one of those small business owners who tries to do his best - but knows he’s got some gaps - this was a fun conversation ranging from the basics of a sound onboarding process to open discussion around recent DEI controversies to the biggest pitfalls that employers MUST avoid. Tami was recommended to the show by a couple of my favorite members - her clients - and I’m excited to share my conversation with Tami Parker, Founder and CEO of UNIcycle Business Consulting.
