Human Resources Consulting
HR Phone Support
There will be times when HR questions and issues arise and some may be complex. Your particular situation may be covered by law or you may simply be interested in information on best practices or trends. In either case, Innovative Outsourcing becomes an extension of your organization. We have experience in all human resource areas and are highly qualified to provide a solution for you and your employees. Help is just a phone call away.
HR Audit
The purpose of an audit is to assess the effectiveness of your HR programs and practices and to ensure regulatory compliance. We evaluate your existing policies and procedures to assure compliance and make recommendations to ameliorate non-compliance. For those organizations starting from ground zero, we can help you establish an HR foundation from which you can build. The following areas of Human Resources are typically what we analyze and evaluate as part of this process:
Selection and Placement
Benefits
Compensation
Communication
Disciplinary Procedures
Employee Handbook
Employee Relations
Government Reporting
Health & Safety
Performance Management
Record keeping and Posters
Separation Policies and Procedures
Training & Development
We summarize the results of our audit in a written report, presented to you, which indicates the effectiveness of current practices and suggested modifications or improvements that are needed.
Legal Compliance
All employers regardless of size must comply with applicable federal and state laws. We help you to understand what specific laws are applicable to your particular business including reporting procedures.
Recruiting & Selection Process
We can help you develop a recruiting and selection process that will enable you to find qualified candidates while minimizing your cost. It is also important to understand the intricacies of how to prepare before you ever start to look for that first employee. Job descriptions and interview guidelines are two examples of essential tools to be used in this process.
Benefits Analysis
In the confusing jungle of benefit plans, i.e., PPO, HMO, POS, 401K, etc., we work closely with preferred vendors to help you design tailored benefit plans for your employees and their families plans that will provide them with the coverage and services they need. Some of the basic questions we ask are: What benefits if any do you have in place? What benefits are you considering? Are your benefits' costs out of sight? Are your benefit plans competitive and comprehensive for the size of your organization?
Compensation
Does your company have a compensation philosophy? Do you want your salaries to be at, above or below the market price? How are salary reviews handled? We can help you understand the basics of salary planning as well as establishing effective salary administration policies and procedures.
Employee Handbooks & Policies and Procedures
We can help you develop policies, procedures and employee handbooks that comply with applicable federal and state laws and are "user friendly" at the same time. If you decide to put something in writing, then action must be taken and it must be consistent with all employees.
Employee Relations
Traditional employee relations activities have changed greatly in recent years. The programs must be flexible and anticipate the changing and challenging requirements of your staff. If you want to keep your valued employees satisfied, then you must have programs in place that meet their needs. Employee motivation programs are fast becoming one of the most significant differentiators between you and your competitors. Innovative Outsourcing can design and implement innovative, low-cost, highly effective employee relations programs that give your company an edge in recruiting and retaining your work force. It is often the simple things that really make a difference.
Performance Management
How do you evaluate your employees, if you do at all? What tools do you have in place, if any? Do your supervisors or managers have guidelines or training in place for conducting evaluations? We can help you design all of the necessary tools so that you can evaluate employee performance effectively and fairly.
