Easy HR is able to provide a cost effective
and value adding consulting service.
In the age of the "Knowledge Economy" it is
increasingly acknowledged that the real value in any
company is locked in the minds of its employees. Systems,
contacts, clients, market information, competitor intelligence
are all aspects of the business, which staff carry around
in their heads. This knowledge, coupled with effective
management, good training, sound information systems
and a team culture can generate exceptional power.
People represent the real 'heart' of any organisation.
Easy HR can help you to harness the power of your people
by assisting you manage your team more effectively.
We can assist you by:
Review Policies & Procedures
Frequently a review, or audit, of an organisation's human
resource policies and procedures will uncover areas that
need to be addressed to minimise potential problems.
Usually this process starts with a meeting with the person
who has primary responsibility for human resource. The
initial meeting may focus on questions or areas of concern
specific to the organisation and broaden into other topics
or issues.
A formal review can include all written policies, procedures
and a walk through to be certain that required posters
are up, etc. A confidential
report would include recommendations for additional
policies or changes to existing policies to accomplish
the organisation's goals or to respond to a legal requirement.

Salaries, Wages & Incentives
Most organisations struggle with correct award interpretation.
Similarly the definition of an employee as opposed to
a contractor can be confusing. We can also
examine your superannuation, to ensure that you are not
paying superannuation on exempt salaries and wages.
We can review current pay levels and practices to be
certain they are accomplishing what you want. This may
focus on an internal comparison of jobs using job evaluation
techniques to establish a pay structure. Competitiveness
with the local labour market is an issue requiring careful
comparison with appropriate survey data or, in some
instances, conducting a custom survey.
Reviewing or recommending a wage and salary structure,
considering whether the concept of broad banding' may
fit for the organisation, group or individual incentive
or bonus plans, etc. are common compensation related
issues. We can help you develop a custom
incentive plan to ensure staff are motivated to achieve
maximum productivity.

Training & Staff Development
Our training programs and staff development workshops
cover a number of topics. Normally the content will be
a blend of proven concepts and core information which
are tailored to meet the specific needs of the organisation.
These are based on an in-depth assessment and analysis
of the existing level of performance and the level of
performance which the organisation wishes to achieve.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
preventing illegal harassment in the workplace, employment
interviewing skills ("Hire the Best"), conducting
effective performance appraisal, discipline/termination,
supervisory & leadership skill development, health
and safety and effective communication.
Our health and safety trainers are certified by Workcover.

Employee & Induction Handbooks
Having current policies and procedures is important .
. . but communicating them clearly to employees is even
more important. Drafting or updating an employee
handbook from current policies and procedures is an important
task that is an ideal project for a consultant.
In a number of companies managers rely on the induction
handbook to set the 'ground rules,' and refer to as a
reference when counseling or terminating employees.

Job Descriptions
Having up-to-date job or position descriptions is a challenge
for most organisations. We can work with you to draft
descriptions in a format and style that is both useful
and will enhance your position in certain legal situations.
Our job descriptions are easy to understand, and are based
on core position competencies.

Employee Communication
It can be revealing to involve an unbiased, third party
in assessing the communication within an organisation.
Usually this is an employee focus group discussion or
an employee survey. Other communication projects
may include new employee orientation, employee newsletter,
policy or new initiative implementation. We
can assist you and provide the training to produce your
own in-house newsletter.
Our automated newsletter service is ideal for organisations
who wish to communicate with employees that don't have
an in-house email address. Any number of
departmental newsgroups can be set up. Supervisors
can email their staff automatically by forwarding an
email to to our server and providing the password of
their newsgroup. Employees can join the
list automatically, or the supervisor can provide a
list of eligible employees for inclusion.

Ongoing Relationship
Many organisations want ready access to a knowledgeable
source for HR advice when they have a concern or question.
You may find that an ongoing relationship through a retainer
is beneficial. The practical advantage of a retainer relationship
is that since it is prepaid you tend to seek advice earlier,
when a problem can be dealt with constructively and with
less hassle. Retainer clients can reach us
at any time via email, landline or mobile phone.

Payroll Services
Our consultants are familiar with Australian payroll legislation,
and can offer advice in relation to your payroll procedures.
In addition we are familiar with some larger payroll systems,
and can assist you with implementation, or setting up
system parameters. If required, we can write
your ad hoc reports, or write a custom application so
that you can effectively interrogate and analyse your
payroll data.

Grievances & Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment at work is more common than most employers
realise. Often complaints go unreported until after an
employee resigns and then complains to an outside, third
party government agency like the Human Rights Commission.
Sexual harassment can be overt or it can be subtle. Employers
and employees need to be aware of what constitutes illegal
sexual harassment. The number of court
cases and the size of the financial judgments is
rising dramatically. The real cost of sexual harassment,
in addition to court awards, is in human costs.
Tax law and sexual harassment are similar in as much as
you are assumed guilty until you are proven innocent.
Our consultants can review your sexual harassment policy
and procedures. We can present a workshop for management
and/or supervisors covering core issues relating to harassment.
We can review your policy and provide training on how
a supervisor should handle the receipt and investigation
of a harassment complaint.
In addition we can work with your managers to deal
effectively with any grievance or complaint.

Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS)
