Human Resource is a businesses’ largest liability, but can be their largest asset if organized and given the best leadership. Local, State and Federal agencies make it difficult to operate when the regulations and laws are always changing. Our Human Resources Coaches help businesses find their way through this legal maze, helping businesses understand new laws and regulations and how to stay in compliance.
It is important that employees receive compensation and benefits which are standardized to the market and in compliance with the laws. There are health and safety issues, which require compliance.
Recruitment & Hiring
“Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.”
--Henry David Thoreau
Strategic planning is the first step in building a functional organization. Then an organization must identify what tasks need to be completed and what skill sets a person will need to process that function successfully. Too many times companies make a hiring decision within 5 minutes of the interview process, and this does not enable them to hire the candidate with the right skills, or the company has not spent enough time to develop a training process and therefore that employee has a high probability of failing.
Performance Evaluations & Corrective Actions
When employees are surveyed the three items that always come to the top of their want list are:
- They want to know what is expected of them (we use job descriptions and training to accomplish this.)
- They want to know how they are doing (we use performance evaluations and sometimes corrective actions for this purpose.)
- Moreover, if they are doing a good job they want recognition (this can be done without money.)
Our H.R. coaches can help meet the ever-demanding needs of small to medium size businesses when they cannot afford a full time H.R. Professional. We can help you represent your company with the Labor Board, Employee Development Department, Fair Employment and Housing, or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, so employers and managers will win more of these cases.
“I want to go on record that Great Start Consulting is the best recruiter in San Diego County. They took everything into consideration (our personalities, our goals, and defined expectations of the position to identify our needs) then evaluated each candidate’s qualifications, and the right person who met our needs. Then they helped us to set up a training program to get our new employee up to speed faster than it has ever happened in the past. It cost me a quarter of the time it would have taken through traditional efforts. They are by far the best recruiters I have found. A win-win for us all.”
