HUMAN RESOURCES SERVICES
The day a business hires its first employee, it becomes subject to 19 complex state and federal laws. If you call an old-fashioned law firm with a question about an employee policy, you will pay for legal advice when all you really need is human resources expertise. Why pay the cost of an attorney when you don't need one?
At Malek & Malek, our Human Resources Consultant will respond to HR concerns with practical, legally acceptable, cost-effective advice. Our HR professionals know the complex state and federal laws that regulate employer-employee relations in the current business climate. They help you steer a safe course through dangerous areas like sexual harassment, wrongful termination, wage and hour disputes and age discrimination problems.
Because our partners supervise the service, you still have the benefit of counsel, and our human resources professional is trained to recognize when a matter requires legal advice and will forward it to an attorney. Of course, attorneys are available directly to any client who prefers to use that option.
Our philosophy is to educate clients and prevent the circumstances that lead to litigation. We believe this service is an invaluable tool for preventing litigation. To save money, most businesses limit supervisors access to legal counsel. But at Malek & Malek, our low human resources consulting rate means you can afford to make the service available to your supervisors to help avoid lawsuits, fines, EEOC claims and labor board problems.
Typical services offered at the reduced rate for our HR consultant include:
Mergers & Acquisitions - Currently 30%-60% of mergers fail, largely due to "people" issues. Utilize our skills to merge business "cultures" and avoid many people problems.
Organization Development - We do a careful analysis to determine your company's strengths and weaknesses. Then human resource policies and programs are specifically developed to support the broader strategies needed.
Start-Ups - We design human resources programs as well as payroll systems - and train accounting and clerical employees to maintain those systems. Don't hire an expensive human resources professional until you really need one on site, 100% of the time.
Audits of Human Resources and Payroll Practices - As companies grow, so does the number of laws that regulate employers. An audit will minimize the possibility of expensive surprises from the many government agencies that have jurisdiction over employers!
Human Resources Policies and Procedures - Increase morale! Let your employees know what is expected of them. Give your managers the tools they need to supervise with consistency and fairness.
Reduce Turnover - Turnover costs a minimum of $15,000 per position! That quickly eats up profits. We can help avoid this costly problem.
Effective Employee Benefit Programs - An expertly designed benefit program will attract and retain the best employees and save the company money!
Compensation Programs - A standardized pay program improves employee morale and reduces turnover. The basis of the program will be a well-developed compensation philosophy to assure equitable salaries at an appropriate market rate.
Recruitment Plans - We teach companies how to recruit top-notch candidates. Or our professionals can provide high-quality recruitment for your company.
Performance Management Programs - We design entire programs or single elements of a program such as job descriptions, performance evaluation tools, disciplinary procedures and supervisor training.
Staff Training and Development - We design training programs and present personalized training modules on Supervisory and Managerial techniques, Time Management, Project Management and Sexual Harassment Avoidance.
