5 Signs You’ve Outgrown DIY People Management

If your idea of HR is a couple of Google templates and a payroll system you hope keeps humming, trust me, you’re not the only one. Most small businesses start scrappy. But eventually, DIY HR doesn’t save you money… it quietly starts costing you growth.

Sabrina Baker, CEO of Acacia HR Solutions, breaks down the five signs your “we’ll figure it out later” approach is holding your business back, and why HR outsourcing becomes a game-changing move long before you ever need a full-time team.

Sabrina explains how HR is usually the most ignored function in small businesses… right up until chaos hits. And more importantly, how building a real, professional HR foundation doesn’t slow things down — it accelerates growth, protects your team, and strengthens your business from the inside out.

Using real-world examples, Sabrina walks through the four stages of HR maturity, compliance, consistency, culture, and strategy, and shows why true growth doesn’t happen until you invest in the people side of your business.
