HR Services

Whether you are a start-up or an established organization, you can expect a full complement of HR consulting and outsourcing services. You will find that our solutions result in increased employee productivity, improved morale, and higher employee retention. This translates into cost savings that respect and protect your bottom line. Here's the value you can expect:

Assessing your needs

  • Schedule an initial meeting to learn of your immediate needs
  • Gather information on what you have established and what may be needed

Making recommendations

  • Prepare a written proposal with an overview of your needs and the solutions
  • Perform an HR audit, taking an in-depth look at your current practices and procedures in the areas of recruitment, compensation, benefits, employee relationships, training, and safety
  • Provide a preliminary review of your Employee Handbook

Implementing the plan

  • Develop a work plan for the actions that will meet your needs
  • Establish timelines to achieve your objectives
  • Implement and complete established targets
  • Review all HR issues to ensure your satisfaction

Who needs these services?

  • Organizations that do not have the overhead resources to justify costs associated with a full-time HR department. Failure to address HR issues can lead to increased legal exposure and risk.
  • Organizations with an established HR Department that have an occasional need for an outside resource to coordinate and complete short-term HR-related projects or provide long-term outsourcing solutions. We shine in providing excellent, cost-effective HR services designed for your organization.

Continually evolving standards and requirements

It is prudent to rely on specialists to keep up with the continually changing standards set by State and Federal governing agencies. To help evaluate your approach, the HCR Group typically provides an HR Audit and a comprehensive initial evaluation of the structure of your organization and how it does or does not fulfill HR service needs. Typically, our clients begin with an HR audit. This tool allows them to evaluate their current systems and identify areas of concern and/or liability. Commonly, our findings and solutions positively impact their bottom line.
