You’re the founder of a rapidly growing company, but you’re drowning in paperwork, workplace issues and HR challenges. Your team is expanding, legal compliance seems like a minefield, and you’re spending more time wrestling with HR investigations than you are actually propelling your business forward. This is where HR Consulting becomes more than just a ‘service’ – it becomes a strategic life vest for your business.
For small and medium-sized businesses in Canada, navigating the complexities of Human Resources, legal compliance, and Employment Law, can feel like trying to sail through a storm without a compass. Working with an HR Consulting firm will provide you with that much-needed navigation system, giving you the advice and expertise that you need; knowing what decisions to make, and how to make them.
HR Consulting is not about creating paperwork, or checking off boxes. An HR Consultant’s value is in how they understand the unique challenges of your business, and then provide expert guidance and innovative solutions to resolve them. They help businesses navigate complex and sometimes overwhelming HR crises, minimizing or eliminating financial risk and liability. In turn, that allows you to get back to focusing on the fun stuff you really want to do: growing your business.
Take for example the matter of termination of employment —a terrain so complex that at times, one misstep can create significant costs to a business. HR Consultants serve as experienced guides, helping businesses make the right decisions and taking the right actions. They can provide you with strategic HR advice and guidance in order to protect your business from potential liability associated with ‘heavy’ things like a claim of Wrongful Dismissal or a Human Rights complaint.
That said, an HR Consultant’s value goes far deeper than risk mitigation. HR Consultants can become strategic partners and help businesses thrive. How?By identifying opportunities in your business to apply proven HR Strategies; anything from creating competitive compensation and benefits program, to designing innovative employee development programs, to helping you implement Programs that will positively impact workplace culture and drive employee engagement.
Business owners initially see the costs associated with HR Consulting as an expense. However, these same business owners quickly realize that it is one of the most strategic investments they will ever make in their business. The ROI for the value of HR Consulting is undeniable. Having access to expert advice provided by senior-level professionals, available on an as-needed basis, without the overhead of a full-time HR Director on your payroll is invaluable – professional guidance, at a fraction of the cost, when and how you need it.
