Every organization has people.  To successfully achieve its goals, every organization needs to effectively direct the talent within the organization and align their work with the organization's vision and goals.  Whether employees are in a big company with hundreds of positions or in a small organization with 10 or fewer positions, those employees must be recruited, selected, trained, and managed all within the framework of state and federal laws.

In an environment in which the workforce, state and federal laws, and the needs of employers keep changing, effectively managing people and mitigating employment risks and complying with all the laws is becoming more and more challenging.

Hughes-Consulting has the expertise you need if you are looking for Human Resources guidance or employment risk mitigation.  Please click on the buttons above or below to learn more about leadership, employee, and team development.

• Immigration and Employment Laws::  Compliance with Immigration and Employment laws and regulations affects all other HR activities and is integral to HR management.  Are all of your employees legally allowed to work in the US?  Are you optimizing your workforce brain power by actively engaging diverse knowledge, skills, and abilities?  Do you know the laws that you are required to comply with?  Are you in compliance?

• HR Development: From the orientation of new employees to skills training to career development to leadership development, developing your employees makes business sense. Time spent in developing your employees is time spent investing in the future of your business and it can give you a competitive advantage.  HR Development is also evaluating how employees are currently performing and giving them feedback on what they are doing well and where they may need to improve.  Do you have a Performance Management process that is tied to the goals of your business?  Is it working effectively or does it need a tune-up?

• Health, Safety, and Security:  Do you know the laws?  Are your required postings up where employees can see them.  Do you have the appropriate policies and procedures in place to keep your employees safe?  Are you in compliance with OSHA?

• Employee Relations:  The relationship between managers and their employees must be handled effectively if both the employees and the organization are to prosper together. It is important to develop, communicate, and update HR policies and procedures so that managers and employees alike know what is expected.  Are your policies and procedures current?  Do your employees know what they are?
• Outplacement Services:  As difficult as it is, sometimes your business survival depends upon reducing your workforce.  We have the expertise with resume writing, interviewing skill building, job searching, etc., that will help your employees find employment with another great company.
