Welcome back to The HR Connection Podcast! In this episode, host Sabrina Baker—CEO and founder of Acacia HR Solutions—dives into what makes managing HR in a small business (think 1 to 500 employees) so vastly different from doing it in a large organization.
From the “wild, wild west” of HR structures in startups to the deeply personal, small-town feel of close-knit teams, Sabrina shares why small employers operate on a completely different playing field. She unpacks key differences around priorities, budgets, resources, structure, and flexibility—while also highlighting the unique opportunities that come with managing HR in this space.
Whether you're a team of 20 where the marketing guy suddenly becomes HR, or a founder wearing every C-suite hat imaginable, this episode is for you. Tune in to hear why small business HR isn’t just challenging—it can also be a whole lot of fun.
