HR Consulting

Problem: High Employee Turnover

 

Root Causes:

  • Depending on the level of expertise, on average, the hiring process for one employee can take 3 – 6 weeks and can cost almost $4800; that is not talking about the amount of time it takes someone to go through the process of posting, going through applications, interviewing, running background checks, onboarding, and training a new employee. Outsourcing these tasks can be a cost-effective solution.
  • Being understaffed may lead to lower-quality work, which in turn leads to rework and overtime. A company can choose to absorb those expenses or share them with its clients.

Impact:

  • Constantly searching, hiring, and training new employees is expensive
  • Projects get delayed due to understaffing or gaps in critical roles
  • Higher project costs can lead to client dissatisfaction and loss of projects

Problem: Safety Concerns


Root Causes:

  • Less experienced employees may need help understanding safety protocols.
  • Short-staffed crews may become stressed and overworked, causing negligence.
  • The premiums will rise and stay with the business for three years, depending on the injuries and the number of claims.

Impact:

  • High Workers’ Comp claims can result in a non-renewal of workers’ comp
  • Workers’ compensation has become too expensive

  • Safety training
  • Possible PEO option to bring down workers’ comp rates

Payroll

Problem: Payroll Complexities

 

Root Causes:

  • Employees can make different rates for different jobs, and over time, this can be miscalculated

Impact:
