HR Consulting
Retained HR Services
Our HR Certified staff offers organizations information, support, advice, and resources. It is ideal for organizations that do not have a full-time HR person, or where the HR staff may need technical support on compliance or complex issues. Contact us to discuss a personalized package for you.
Project Services
If you are running out of time or need specialized expertise, we are here to help. Project Services can be used, as needed, without a continued commitment. Our staff are experts at learning where you are and where you want to be, then defining a practical path to success.
Change Management
Do you see the need for change or are you hearing “that needs to change” frequently, and all you can see is a big blank monitor screen with a tiny blinking cursor that hasn’t moved? Change is not always easy and one step that might help is to categorize your thoughts into the logical steps needed to accomplish change. Following Kotter’s 8-step model we can help identify the process and steps needed for your best success.
Coaching & Mentoring
Executives, senior managers, teams, or individuals can always benefit from an outside perspective. Regardless of the need, a specific concern, or next steps in a career, we help individuals identify the gap between where they are now, where they want to be, and how to get there.
Compensation
Salary surveys, base pay programs, incentive systems, salary structures, policy and philosophy development, performance appraisal and merit pay systems, job evaluation, job ranking or grading programs, pay equity, and determination of exempt vs. non-exempt status are parts of compensation that need continued attention. We can provide expertise in design, refinement, and implementation of total compensation systems or segments.
Compliance
Digesting the mountain of federal, state, and local regulations is time-consuming and just about the time you think you have it figured out, something changes. The potential costs of response to claims, lawsuits, and loss of credibility with employees and customers make this a top priority in most organizations. Our team is up to date and can work with you to find the practical path to compliant management.
Employee
Surveys
Do you actually know what your employees are thinking? Have you shared your thoughts with them? Employee surveys provide a road map for problem solving, facilitate communication in organizations, address employee relations concerns, and provide a baseline from which change can be made. We can help you develop questions and answers, reports, the roadmap to make change, and the communication necessary for achievements that balance organization capability with employee interests.
Did an employee just leave your office or have they sent you an email outlining a complaint or a concern about a work situation that makes them uncomfortable and now you are wondering what to do? We can discuss the situation and help you determine the next steps. If an objective investigation is needed, we can complete a thorough workplace investigation, on any topic, including an assessment of the situation, questions for the parties involved, and documentation and presentation of the findings.
Are you feeling a little, or a lot, out of your depth? Do you just need a quick sounding board to confirm you are headed in the right direction? We have the HR answers including compliance and practical application in every aspect of HR including strategic planning, recruitment, employee engagement, employee retention, learning and development, total rewards, the structure of your HR department, organizational effectiveness and development, workforce management, employee and labor relations, diversity and inclusion, health and safety, and the laws and rules that govern it all.
How long has the creation or revising of that human resource policy, procedure, or guideline been sitting on your “to-do” list? Wouldn’t it be nice to check it off the list? Contact one of our consultants for an estimate; we can create customized applications, handbooks, ADA, leave policies and forms, performance management, separation, and much more.
