SUPPORTING TEAM GROWTH

CANNABIS INDUSTRY HUMAN RESOURCE SERVICES

The landscape of the cannabis industry has shifted dramatically from its roots decades ago. What was once underground and highly illegal is now big business. And like businesses in any other sector, cannabis business HR challenges can benefit from a specialized touch. Whether you’re in the business of growing the crops or you serve the end user via online or brick and mortar dispensaries, our cannabis industry HR services can help you make the most of your revenues.

cannabis hr challenges

If you’ve already searched for cannabis HR companies, you’ve no doubt already run into one of the major challenges facing the industry: due to differing laws from state to state as well as federal limitations, many HR, payroll, and insurance vendors won’t work with cannabis businesses. HR outsourcing for cannabis companies can feel like running headfirst into an immovable brick wall.

In order to streamline your business, FIT HR offers comprehensive HR solutions to meet your business’s needs. Additionally, FIT HR is familiar with other unique challenges of cannabis HR jobs. Unlike in other industries, where workplace and employee drug use policies can be fairly simple and clear-cut, the nature of the cannabis industry means you have to navigate more complex questions. Presumably, it’s acceptable for your employees to occasionally use your products. But to what degree can they partake, and can they partake while on the clock?

Since the legal landscape of the cannabis industry is in constant flux, cannabis HR specialists must also stay on top of legal compliance requirements and be able to communicate them effectively to staff at all levels. FIT HR can provide ongoing compliance training and materials to keep your workforce on the right side of the law.

Of course, cannabis businesses also need standard HR services. FIT HR human resources specialists are ready to optimize your staff recruitment, hiring, and employee retention practices to keep your business on target for both the short and long term.

Hourly, as-needed consulting on strategy or execution
Project-based engagements, especially useful for building out internal policies and procedures
Fractional leadership, in which one of our leading HR consultants meets with your team regularly and takes on the role of HR director.
