I am an HR Manager for a small company. I handle every aspect of human resources, from recruiting, performance management, coaching the directors, revising the employee handbook, payroll, benefits, training, 401k compliance, wellness champion, and much more. I really need help - I am stressed and I feel like I am drowning.
Any suggestions on how to put together a spreadsheet or business case for additional help (like an HR Assistant)?
Thanks!

My suggestion would be to ask for HR software support instead. Compared to hiring an additional HR resource, which carries a recurring cost that is likely to increase every year. Software systems like 'EmpXtrack' are being preferred across the world by small and mid-size companies. The primary reason for this preference is managing within your budgets by investing in phases, yet automating all HR processes.
Choosing a technology solution over an HR person is an option that caters to the turnover of HR staff. Regardless of who comes and goes, the system provides the desired continuity in managing HR. Additionally, no additional HR resources are required even at a later date as the company employs more manpower.
Just visit the EmpXtrack website to have a better understanding of using technology as a preferred option.

Dear sage59,
If you handle Performance Management, why are you facing the problem in manpower planning? To deliver "X" quantum of performance, "Y" quantum of manpower is required. This is the simple rule of assessing the manpower requirement.
What is your product or service? How many departments do you have? Have you mapped the processes of each department? Have you identified each department's KPI? Have you identified the direct and indirect costs associated with each department? To keep the cost at a certain level, what is the optimum manpower? Have you done this exercise?
You need to provide sufficient information. Without this information, it will not be feasible to give any suggestions.

During my tenure with L&T, at one point in time, I managed more than 400 folders of supervisors and executives of our Business Unit. Instances were very few where my services to my colleagues, management, and other stakeholders were found wanting. I utilized all that is possible with the help of modern-day tools, by using the PC most effectively. In one Excel workbook, each spreadsheet is dedicated to one aspect of my activity. As and when an activity takes place, it is immediately recorded in the respective worksheet. Activities may relate to new employees joining, or releasing offer letters, or appointment letters, providing mobile phone expense eligibility, etc.
Whenever a report needs to be submitted, I go through the workbook and extract the information. Similarly, the calendar is used effectively, which can trigger reminders for actions to take place.
Nothing is impossible if there is a will to do it. Think calmly, find ways and means of resolving the problem at hand instead of thinking of 'drowning'!!!!
Best wishes
