Human Resources

 

Human Resources may be the most misunderstood of all corporate departments, but it's also the most necessary. Those who work in Human Resources are not only responsible for hiring and firing, they also handle contacting job references and administering employee benefits.
Human Resources may have gotten a bum rap, but it's clearly among the most important departments in any corporation. The next time you have to meet with someone from Human Resources, remember that without him or her, your company might not be running so efficiently.
 Whenever Human Resource Consultations are Needed?:

• Are employee conflicts, performance issues and/or attitudes “eating up” your valuable time?
• Do you find yourself spending the majority of your day dealing with compliance issues or employee complaints?
• Is employee turnover or absenteeism creating havoc to your bottom line?
• Are you confident that new employees are receiving required paperwork?
• Are your supervisors and managers documenting employee issues? And recognizing employees who perform well?
• Are your leaves of absences documented and in compliance with applicable state and federal mandated leaves?
• Need forms? Staying in compliance with state and federal regulations is a challenge for every business due to court decisions and the many new laws created every year.  It can be helped by

• Conducting on site personnel/payroll file, policies and practices audits and recommending actions necessary to be in compliance with wage and hour laws, leaves of absence regulations, and other important policies such as COBRA, performance management, absenteeism, harassment and discrimination prevention, at-will employment and more.
• Reviewing the employee handbook for appropriate language, necessary policies, and for compliance with current regulations.
• Providing forms, policies and updates necessary for compliance.
• Training managers regarding compliance issues and their responsibilities.

Employee Handbooks and Supervisor Manuals
Tailor employee handbooks to meet your needs based on size of company, industry and your philosophy. 

The Supervisor’s Manual defines “how” to apply Company policy.  This is important in helping to ensure equality and consistency in personnel decisions.

Workplace Assessments
Confidential interviews and summary reports of what your employees are thinking about the workplace, designed to confirm what is going right and uncover areas of potential exposure.

Exit Interviews
Collect important feedback from employees as they leave your company regarding:  benefits, compensation, harassment, on-the-job injuries, environment, supervision and more.
