HUMAN RESOURCE
CONSULTING SERVICES
Consulting Services from HR Answers deliver expert, project-based support for every corner of HR—from compliance audits to compensation design, employee relations, policy development, and more. If it can be done in-house, we can do it as a project—efficiently, expertly, and with your goals in mind. Our consultants step in when and where you need us, bringing deep knowledge and practical solutions that move your organization forward.
COMPENSATION
Compensation involves designing and managing a system of employee pay and benefits that aligns with organizational goals and industry standards. It includes salary structures, bonuses, incentives, and benefits packages that attract and retain talent while ensuring internal and external equity. Our consultants can provide services by conducting market salary analyses, developing competitive compensation strategies, and ensuring compliance with compensation-related regulations. They can also assist in designing performance-based pay systems, creating job evaluation methods, and advising on the implementation of total compensation plans which meet both employer and employee needs.
EMPLOYEE HANDBOOKS
Employee handbook reviews are essential for ensuring that your organization's policies are up-to-date, legally compliant, and clearly communicated to all employees. These reviews help maintain consistency in the application of policies, protect the organization from legal disputes, and set clear expectations for employee behavior and performance. Our consultants can provide services by thoroughly analyzing the current handbook or by starting with our Sample Employee Handbook. We help customize the handbook to fit the specific needs and culture of the organization, and provide training to ensure that both management and employees understand and adhere to the updated policies.
EMPLOYEE RELATIONS
Employee relations focus on fostering a positive and productive work environment by managing relationships between employers and employees. This includes addressing workplace conflicts, ensuring fair treatment, and promoting effective communication. Our consultants can provide services in this area by offering conflict resolution strategies, conducting employee experience surveys, and assisting managers and supervisors with sticky situations. They can also provide training for leadership on effective communication, design policies that promote a respectful and inclusive workplace, and act as a neutral third party to investigate complaints and concerns.

COMPLIANCE
Human resource compliance involves adhering to laws and regulations governing employment practices, ensuring that an organization operates within legal frameworks to avoid penalties and foster a fair workplace. Our consultants provide invaluable services in this area by conducting comprehensive reviews of current HR practices, identifying areas of non-compliance, and implementing best practices. They offer guidance on various legal requirements, such as equal employment opportunity, workplace safety, and employee benefits regulations. Additionally, our team can educate your staff and management on compliance best practices, develop policies and procedures, and stay updated on legislative changes to ensure ongoing compliance.
WORKFORCE PLANNING
A strategic approach to ensuring an organization has the right number of employees with the right skills at the right time. This process includes reviewing job descriptions to ensure they accurately reflect the duties and requirements of each position, which helps in attracting suitable candidates. It also involves conducting Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) reviews to ensure compliance with wage and hour laws. Additionally, background checks and reference checks are integral components, providing insights into a candidate's past behavior and verifying their qualifications and experiences, thus helping to make informed hiring decisions.
