Employee Handbooks

When was the last time you updated your employee handbook? Or worse yet, do you even have an employee handbook? Did you know that employee handbooks are not only a good tool for your employees but they can also serve to help keep you compliant and thereby minimize your risk to potential employment law violations, fines and/or employment lawsuits? If you’re still using an old, outdated handbook that doesn’t have updated policies and procedures that are compliant with current employment regulations, you’re taking a big risk that could lead to major costs to your company. Don’t gamble with something so important – give us a call today, and we will ensure your handbook is legally compliant and customized to your company culture and business needs.

Conflict Resolution

Do you have issues with your key leaders who can’t seem to get along with each other no matter how hard you try to get them to ‘play nice’? Do you have departments who work in silos and lack the collaboration needed to efficiently and effectively achieve business goals? Are these conflicts impacting the morale of your teams? The longer these issues are allowed to occur, the worse it will get, leaving you with limited business success or worse yet, negatively impacting the bottom line due to ongoing issues with customer service, productivity and quality. Let one of our experts come to the rescue. We will thoroughly evaluate the issues, history and culture and get a thorough understanding of the impact these issues are having on your business, and we will customize a conflict resolution strategic plan to help reduce (or even eliminate) these issues so you can get back to running a successful business.

Study after study prove that teams that don’t work well together can have a major detrimental impact on a business’ bottom line.

Employee Engagement Survey

Are you one of the many businesses who have been hit hard by turnover? Does morale seem to be suffering? Do you need help in determining the “pulse” of your organization? Do you want your employees to be more engaged in your company or organization? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you need an employee survey conducted to get to the root cause. The experts at Palmetto HR Business Partners will meet with you to get a thorough understanding of the current climate and customize a survey that will elicit the information you need to know so that you can address and find solutions that will help you have an engaged and motivated staff who brings their “A” game to work every day!

Employee Engagement Strategy

Having a strong employee engagement survey completed is just the beginning of improving your team’s level of engagement. But first, what is employee engagement and why is it so important? Employee engagement is defined as the level of an employee’s commitment to your organization, and it determines how motivated, involved and enthusiastic your team members are about their work and employer. When employees have a high level of engagement, statistics show improved customer loyalty and organizational performance and higher levels of employee retention. This, of course, translates into greater business results. Imagine, how much more successful your organization could be if you improved the level of your employee engagement? The experts at Palmetto HR Business Partners LLC will analyze your needs and carefully craft an employee engagement strategy that aims to do just that. Not only will we develop the strategy for you, we will also help you with every step of the execution process.

Benefits Analysis & Design

Are you providing the right level of benefits that your employees want and need? Are some of your current benefits underutilized or not yielding the results you desire? Are you having trouble recruiting top talent due to a lack of certain benefits? Oftentimes, businesses offer employee benefits that don’t yield them a good return on their investment. Employee benefits must be attractive to employees and job seekers while still being affordable. Let our benefits experts help you design the benefits plan that will excite your employees and job candidates, helping you attract and retain your best teams.

Recruiting Best Practices

Do you need help with your recruiting practices? Are you finding the type of talent you need? Whether you have an in-house recruiter or you handle your own recruiting, the recruiting experts at Palmetto HR Business Partners LLC can help you make improvements to your process that will help yield better results. Our recruiting experts have over 25 years of successfully recruiting at just about every level within an organization and across multiple industries. We understand where to find the best talent and how to go about doing it, and we will share our “secret sauce” with you, so you can get better results while ensuring compliance with employment regulations.

Job Descriptions

Are your job descriptions up to date? Or do you even have job descriptions for your employees? Oftentimes, employers don’t think about the value of a job description until there’s an issue. Job descriptions have many uses and benefits. Not only do they provide your employees with detailed information about job expectations, but they also help you align your business processes in an organized and efficient manner. In addition, they help ensure compliance with various employment laws, and they are used for the basis of recruiting, salary administration, and determining performance criteria. The folks at Palmetto HR Business Partners LLC will analyze the jobs within your organization and create professional, organized and easy to understand job descriptions that will improve your workforce planning processes.

Salary Surveys

Are you like many employers who don’t know if you are paying your employees the right amount of money for the job they are performing? If your salaries are not keeping up with the market, eventually, you will lose employees. If you are paying above the market, that is a cost that could negatively impact your bottom line. Palmetto HR Business Partners LLC has access to the latest market data to include bonus pay and other perks. Let us help you have the peace of mind you need knowing your compensation strategy is market competitive.

Total Rewards Strategy

Having a total rewards strategy is critical in today’s work climate. Employees not only want to be paid fairly, but they expect (and demand) other rewards in addition to just a base salary. Having the right benefits, focusing on employee well-being, having a strong employee recognition program and providing development opportunities for your teams are critical components of attracting and retaining the type of talent you need to ensure organizational success. The experts at Palmetto HR Business Partners have a successful track record of developing and implementing comprehensive total rewards strategies designed to motivate, engage and retain your best team members.

Recognition Programs

Let’s face it – people love it when someone acknowledges when they’ve done a good job or have achieved a milestone. Recognition programs don’t have to cost a lot of money, but they can yield tremendous benefits for your organization. Recognition programs help to improve employee engagement and business outcomes, so if you don’t have them in place, we need to talk! Palmetto HR Business Partners LLC will evaluate your needs and help customize recognition programs that will motivate your team members, improve morale and ultimately your bottom line.

Policy Development & Training

Having clear policies that outline key information is essential in operating a successful business. Without policies managers spend an inordinate amount of time fielding questions, explaining repetitive details and unnecessarily ‘reinventing the wheel’ when their time could be better spent on improving business operations and outcomes. Not only is this unproductive for your managers, but it can also put your organization at risk when inconsistent policy application occurs.

Whether it’s an attendance policy, anti-harassment policy, safety policy, remote workforce policy, or information about your Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Palmetto HR Business Partners can help you create easy-to-understand policies that will provide your management team with the information they need right at their fingertips. In addition, we will provide manager and employee training to roll out the policies, ensuring your team members have a clear understanding of expectations.

Human Resources Investigations

While none of us wants to be in the position of having to investigate employee situations, sometimes we are left with no choice. Whether you have theft issues, sexual harassment complaints, potential discrimination issues, or manager performance/behavioral issues, Palmetto HR Business Partners has several years of experience handling the most common workplace scenarios. We will confidentially and professionally evaluate and investigate the situation and make recommendations based on the findings. In addition, we can handle separations if needed.

Executive Coaching

Whether you want to help prepare an up-and-coming superstar for a future leadership opportunity or you have a seasoned leader who is having performance issues, we can tailor an executive coaching plan that is just right for the person and the situation. The coaching can either be face-to-face or remote depending on the location and situation and usually will last for several weeks. We will provide healthy but pointed discussions about observed behaviors and discuss improvement opportunities to get your leader on track to peak performance.

Remote Workforce Management

The pandemic changed the way most of us work. Many companies are still fully remote while others have a hybrid work schedule. HR support for these types of work arrangements is different than in-person. From recruiting to onboarding, performance management, attendance tracking, training and even separation from employment, we have the systems and processes ready to handle any remote work situation. Whether your team is fully remote or working a hybrid schedule, Palmetto HR Business Partners will provide you with the HR support and processes that are specifically designed for a remote or hybrid work schedule.

Leadership Development

The difference between mediocre and great organizations is their people. But, in order to have great people, you must have great leaders! All leaders, whether new to the role or seasoned professionals, need ongoing leadership development to continually motivate, challenge, inspire, develop, and empower their teams. Whether you are a small company who’s looking to develop just a few leaders or you are part of a larger organization who needs to implement transformative change throughout multiple units within a business, we’ve got you covered. Our experts have been providing leadership development training to companies such as ESPN, Bank of America, Spirax Sarco, Department of Defense, BlueCross Blue Shield and more. No matter the size of your organization, we can provide the solutions you need.

Change Management Strategy

Do you have teams that are set in their ways and find it hard to change their processes or thinking despite the inevitable need for change? Is this way of thinking a roadblock in achieving the success your business desires? Don’t worry – you’re not alone. Many companies are faced with the need to change processes or ways of thinking in order to grow, yet oftentimes their teams resist. Palmetto HR Business Partners has organizational development experts who have an excellent track record of helping companies develop and implement change management strategies that have transformed their businesses. Let our team help you achieve the success you desire through a comprehensive change management strategy.

Skills Assessments

Do you know if your employees possess all the skills needed to optimally perform their job functions? Do you have employees who you would like to promote in the future, but you don’t know what their current skill levels are in order to begin that planning process? Are you implementing a process change within your company or department that requires a certain skill but you’re not sure who has and does not have the required skills? The experts at Palmetto HR Business Partners have been deploying skills assessments for over 20 years. We know exactly how to broach the subject as well as have access to some of the best skills assessments tools on the market. Our results will help you make an informed decision on future talent strategies that your business needs.

Offboarding

Let’s face it, sometimes organizations have to let employees go. Whether it’s due to an ongoing performance issue, an egregious incident or a planned layoff, Palmetto HR Business Partners can help you with every aspect of the separation/offboarding process. We will help you minimize disruptions to your workforce and provide a caring and thoughtful communication plan to provide the separating employee with dignity and respect.
