In contrast, franchisees handle the day-to-day management of their teams, including hiring and payroll, along with fostering a positive work environment.

Franchisees who create a culture that encourages curiosity and open communication tend to see higher employee satisfaction and retention.The complexities of HR increase with global franchising, where franchisors must navigate local labor laws, cultural differences and communication barriers. Hamilton highlights the importance of adaptable HR frameworks that can be applied internationally while maintaining the brand's core values. Ultimately, a strong HR foundation is critical to franchise success, ensuring compliance, consistent brand representation and motivated employees who contribute to the growth and stability of the franchise.Read the original article&nbsp;<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/dianehamilton/2024/11/03/whos-responsible-the-hr-split-in-franchising-and-why-it-matters/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=franchise-hr-divide-2727876" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>.Every great franchisee had help buying a franchise.
