The small business is particularly vulnerable to lost productivity due
to employees' having problems with their aging parents, teenagers or
children, marital issues, divorce, drug or alcohol problems, legal/financial
problems, child care and a host of other stressors such as chronic illnesses.
In addition, small business owners or their managers are asked to lead their teams,
set up HR policies, develop succession and exit strategies, mediate conflicts among
employees, do strategic planning, minimize behavior risk such as theft, fraud,
violence in the workplace, hostile work environments due to sexual harassment
and contend with EEOC, ADA and other personnel concerns.
The SBA program from MINES provides the resources the small business owner
needs to effectively manage his/her business. Never before have these services
been so affordable for the small business owner.
