Here are some of the many resources we provide to clients and companies.

EMPLOYEE HANDBOOKS

The employee handbook is one of the most important tools used for communicating with employees. The employee handbook sets the tone and expectations of the organization and it is a tool for employers and employees to use to ensure consistent adherence to policies and procedures. By increasing consistency, the organization can reduce its risk for costly litigation and the perception of unfair treatment. In addition, it describes what employees can expect from the organization and its leaders. By providing a handbook, employers are providing a very important tool for employees to reference at their convenience. 

HR AUDIT SERVICES

A very important HR best practice is an HR audit.  An annual HR audit will assist with the continuous improvement of the services provided to your most important asset, your employees.  A well-run HR department can increase morale; reduce employee turnover and help the business run efficiently.  To ensure that an HR department is operating to its potential, it is important to periodically audit the HR department.  


The HR audit will include the review of all HR documents and the completion of a checklist that will address areas of compliance concern and make recommendations for best practices.  

 

HR DEPARTMENT START-UP SERVICES

Many small or newly started companies start out with the owner or another member of the leadership team handling HR related issues.  As organizations grow, department managers may be able to handle general employee issues, while accounting or finance handles the payroll function. Having strong HR policies and procedures in place help to ensure that the HR functions are handled according to applicable laws.  

    Start-up services will include:

  • Employee handbook/Code of Conduct creation

  • Employee records guidelines

  • Creation of basic HR processes

  • Ensure compliance with state and federal laws

  • Creation of an on-boarding process.


If there are needs specific to your company or industry, they will be incorporated during the start-up process.  Our goal is to provide you with the tools necessary to meet the needs of your organization.
