Audits and Compliance Assessment: While you work on making the world a better place, you may have overlooked some best practices or compliance areas. We’ll conduct a compliance assessment (aka internal audit) to help you identify red-flags and take care of issues before they cause your organization problems. Do you routinely hire consultants? Are most of your employees exempt? Do you know when you have to pay overtime? Are your interns performing programmatic work? Are your office staff complaining about sore shoulders, tingling fingers, or headaches? Are you wanting to fire someone? If you answered yes to any of these, you could probably benefit from a review.

Personnel Policies and Employee Handbooks: Has it been a while since you’ve looked at your personnel policies? Do you look at your policies and feel like they don’t reflect your organizational values? Staying up-to-date with changes to local, state, and federal labor laws can be time consuming, especially if you are operating in multiple states. We’ll work with your management staff to confirm required and recommended policies are reflected in your handbook, complete a multi-state compliance check depending on where your staff is based, and identify which policies may be out of alignment with a values-driven, informative, and people-centered approach.

Staff Support: Do you need support hiring and supporting new staff? Perhaps you’d like strategic advice on growing and training your staff in a sustainable way, or your managers need support with supervising their employees or handling performance issues? Getting the right people on board and keeping them on board takes time and intention, and assessing performance and fostering a learning culture can be an opportunity to thinking holistically and creatively about setting up your team for their best work. From job descriptions to salary ranges to setting up a performance assessment and learning system, growing organizations can benefit from an additional HR strategist to support their growth. (P.S. If you feel like your team could benefit from a deeper dive into leadership development in particular, ask us about bringing the Dependable Strengths Articulation Process to your group.)
