With good policies and good people, you don't need "HR". I would argue he has HR just without a centralized department. Although either way, the only good HR is no HR. HR sucks.

I have never dealt with HR and came away happy or less stressed.

At this size u need HR just to deal with holiday requests and sick leave.

Or just delegate down to the employee's direct supervisor.

You need HR when someone has a harassment claim against a coworker, or their boss. Some third party not in their chain.
