Hiring people shouldn't feel like walking through a legal minefield - but for most founders, that's exactly what it is.

In this episode of Creating the Curve, Anna Bravington chats with HR consultant Reyhana Jano about how to build, manage, and retain a small team without the stress (or ending up in tribunal).

Reyhana shares over 30 years of HR experience, from corporate to small business consulting, and breaks down what founders really need to know when it comes to contracts, culture, and compliance.

Together, Anna and Reyhana talk about:

• Why hiring someone "just like you" is a terrible idea (and what to do instead)

• How to build trust, culture, and clarity in your growing team

• Why muddling through HR can cost you more than getting it right upfront

• The simple steps to get compliant without the jargon

• How to reward and retain great people when budgets are tight

Whether you're about to make your first hire or already managing a team, this episode will help you see HR not as red tape - but as one of your biggest tools for growth.
