Areas of Focus
HR DEPARTMENT BUILDOUT
Building out your HR department can be both a simple and complex process. There are some “musts”, many “shoulds” and some “maybes” in terms of what is needed in order to be legally compliant, protect the company, and have a system understood company-wide.
There are many variations and different needs for each company. I can help you to figure out where you are and where you need to be.
Examples of needs:
- Legal Compliance
- Filing system
- Policies
- Handbook
- Time Off parameters
- Benefits
- HRIS systems
PRE-RECRUITING
Recruiting can be challenging. The most challenging aspect can be figuring out how to get the talent you need in the door without spending countless hours pouring through resumes that don’t fit, or interviews that go no where.
Sure, these things happen to even the most prepared hiring authorities. However, there are steps you can take to make the process run more smoothly. By ensuring that all steps in the process are carefully reviewed and established in accordance with your immediate and long term needs, your hiring process can not only run more smoothly, but enable you to find a stellar employee who wants to stay.
How are you in these areas?:
- Job descriptions (yes, they ARE important)
- Who interviews and why?
- Interview plans (more than just a list of questions)
- Selection Process
EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
This is a term that is used quite a bit these days. Its frequency in the news and articles highlights the importance in the business world at large. Times have changed and employees generally don’t see their relationship with their employer as a lifetime commitment. They need reasons to stay, nuggets of motivation to continue to work with passion.
At the same time, as an employer, you know that your employees are critical to running a successful organization. There are a multitude of ways to maintain employee engagement even in the most hectic, chaotic times in your business life cycle. And the best part is- it doesn’t have to cost a lot of money.
