Our Approach To Human Resource Consulting & Management
Prioritization & Collaboration
We believe that company owners, leaders and employees are the experts in their business. We work alongside them to expand their capacity and capabilities. Because companies have limited resources to devote to developing the “people side of their business,” our approach is to collaborate together to identify and tackle their highest priorities.
Practical & Aligned
We believe that human resources and organizational development projects should be treated as part of the company’s business plan and must be aligned with its strategic goals. Having the input of leaders and employees ensures that new or revised company policies, processes and procedures are actually used and useful in daily operations.
What Is Human Resources & Organizational Development?
Human resources and organizational development create the framework for “the people side of your business.” This framework includes all aspects of an employee’s life cycle with a company, including:
- How the employee is recruited and selected.
- How the company is organized in structure.
- How roles and responsibilities are assigned.
- How policies, processes and procedures are established and implemented.
- How leadership communicates with the employee.
- How the employee is trained for his/her current and future positions.
- How leaders manage employee performance.
- How the employee experiences the company’s culture.
- How the employee exits the company.
Our professional meeting facilitators have a deep understanding of adult learning, leadership and communication styles. This understanding gives the facilitator the unique ability to balance the stronger, more vocal participants with the more subdued personalities to create a highly-interactive and engaging environment.
Why Should Human Resources Be Proactively Managed?
Profitability, customer satisfaction and almost any other important measure of success is impacted by how well a company manages its human capital. Developing systems, policies, processes and procedures to effectively manage this function of a business makes fulfilling its mission and goals more attainable. Without this foundation, managing people takes up too much time and can drain financial resources.
Small and medium-sized companies must frequently update these fundamentals as the company grows and critical needs change. In some phases, the focus is on talent acquisition; in other phases, performance management and talent development. Establishing a framework for these systems that can be easily built upon creates a smoother transition as the company grows.
