Human Resources

Let us help you find the time and energy to focus on running your business, so it isn't running you!

Employee Relations
 
Your employees can be your greatest asset and your greatest liability.  We are here to help you create a culture that maintains positive and productive relationships with your employees.  We'll guide you in being compliant with federal, state and local regulation and  balance employee rights and needs with achieving the organization's strategic goals. We provide:

  • Consultation to develop employee handbooks and policies.
  • Consultation and investigation of workplace harassment and other grievance issues.
  • Consultation regarding documentation and record-keeping.
  • Advice and support for supervisors to resolve employee performance and disciplinary issues.
  • Basic advice related to compliance with employment law.
  • Resources/recommendations to help employees deal with issues outside of work.

Business Strategy
 
When it comes to your business strategy and vision, we can help you by doing the following:
  • Consult with you to design a process for creating organizational direction elements – namely the vision, mission, and values – and then provide support for shaping the culture and work environment to truly reflect the desired identity.
  • Conduct organization surveys and consult with you on strategies to respond to workforce challenges and opportunities.
  • Assist with strategic HR Planning – a process that evaluates and aligns human resources practices and processes, workforce planning and employee development - with the goals and strategies of the organization.  Through this process you will plan to have the right people, the right skills and the right culture in place to address short-term and long-term challenges and opportunities.


Organizational Structure and Design

Axcet HR will assist you by assessing the current structure of your organization and review decision-making processes, reporting relationships, roles and responsibilities, reward systems, information systems and organizational culture.  We will help you align the elements of the organizational system with the strategic direction and business strategies of the organization.


Performance Management and Development
 
An efficient, productive staff is critical to the success of any business. Our HR experts can assist with performance management and development, including: 

  • Developing and implementing a performance evaluation process.
  • Advising supervisors on individual development plans for employees.
  • Providing opportunities for employees to build their knowledge and skills for current and future responsibilities.   
  • Implementing e-learning solutions.
  • Providing customized workshops such as conflict resolution, communication, change management, interpersonal styles, time management, decision-making and customer service.


Leadership and Supervisor Development
 
Strong leadership is essential to the health of your entire organization.  We provide individual and supervisor coaching, as well as coaching for executives. We can develop strategies to help improve leadership performance, such as training in dealing with performance issues, employment law, coaching, conflict management and conducting performance appraisals.  We consult with you or facilitate activities to increase the capabilities of those in management and leadership positions.  This can include developing knowledge or skills in communication, delegation, influence,  managing a diverse workforce and leading change.


Succession Planning and Management
 
Preparing for personnel changes is the best way to plan for future success. You may experience unforeseen vacancies or find it necessary to respond to changing business needs. We will work with you to assess where your organization is today and what your leadership needs will be for the future. We'll consult with you to develop plans that ensure key positions are filled by highly qualified candidates. 


Change Management 

Change implies risk and loss. We can help you develop comprehensive change management and communication strategies that engage your employees in a positive, productive response to organizational uncertainty. For example, you may be faced with a reduction in workforce, a change in benefits, a modification of a vacation policy, a loss of a key employee or even a change in location of your business. How each of these is perceived or addressed can have a profound impact on the culture of your organization. You may find yourself spending more time on employee issues rather than critical business decisions. You may see a decrease in employee productivity.  You may even risk losing key employees when you need them most. Our goal is to help you maximize individual and organizational performance when faced with change, whether it is a current reality or looming on the horizon.


Assessment
 
Knowledge is power. Through our assessments, we can uncover a great deal of useful, powerful information that you can use to improve your workplace environment, including selecting the best job candidates, evaluating leadership effectiveness or building employee engagement. We will:

  • Gather and interpret data related to individual styles, opinions, attitudes, supervisory skills, leadership skills, team effectiveness, culture or organizational processes.
  • Facilitate planning to respond to assessment data.
  • Provide online assessment tools for purposes of selection, leadership development or organizational effectiveness.

Group and Team Development

  
Teamwork truly has the power to propel a company forward - or if it’s lacking, stall its growth. We can help you engage the work group or team to identify strengths and challenges.  We will facilitate action planning to build and sustain effective relationships, work processes and momentum toward organizational goals. Our consultation can include:
  • Gathering data to build understanding of group dynamics and opportunities.
  • Consulting with leaders to define issues within and between work groups.
  • Facilitating the feedback of learning and action planning sessions to address issues and opportunities for development.
  • Following up to evaluate progress.

Recruitment, Selection and Onboarding


We’ll help you develop and implement a recruitment, selection and onboarding process to build and maintain a workforce that will exceed your expectations. We will work with you to:
  • Design a recruitment and selection strategy.
  • Develop job descriptions.
  • Implement a compensation philosophy and strategy.
  • Analyze compensation of jobs relative to the market.
  • Post job positions.
  • Develop interviewing and selection skills.
  • Ensure compliance with federal and state mandates.
