Strategic Services
Technical strategic services in two key areas: human resources and occupational health & safety.
Human Resources
Human Resources Diagnostics
Do you have HR policies that are misaligned to company culture and legislation? Perhaps you wish to embark on designing and rolling out an engagement survey. You might even want to implement a performance management system that is an input to your succession plan.
If you don’t know where to start, our HR diagnostics can help you identify gaps and close them.
Leadership Development and Assessments
We offer frontline manager training that supports accountability and leadership. Furthermore, we offer shorter, condensed programs referred to in house as “skill building blocks”.
Leadership assessments can be used to facilitate this need and provide more qualitative and quantitative data for skill building blocks.
Workplace Investigations
Our certified workplace investigators are more than capable of meeting the need of organizations who have identified the need for a third party. We take an independent, unbiased approach with procedural fairness to protect the parties involved and the process.
Employment Related Disputes
Do you have a human rights, employment standards, or a bona fide occupational requirement you have to defend? We can support you in the resolution of these disputes. In most cases, they can be resolved informally and directly between the parties.
Recruitment and Selection
Are you anticipating a tough-to-fill position and wondering how you will fill the role? We have lived in four different geographic regions that have helped us grow our professional network with international and global organizations.
Whether it’s contingency, retained or confidential searches, we can support you in finding the fit.
Foreign Recruitment
You have a talent shortage and feel you have tried everything and exhausted all options. We provide foreign recruitment services that has spanned multiple provinces in the past using multiple streams. *Please note this service is only offered to current clients at this time.
Compensation Benchmarking
You have a need for market data because you want to understand your market positioning. Are you leading, lagging, or matching the market when equivalent roles are compared? We can also facilitate the design of skill-based and performance-based pay systems.
Workforce Transition
In order to meet your business goals, you have identified that transitioning an employee or a group of employees is necessary. We provide support with empathy, care and professionalism.
Occupational Health & Safety
Total Safety Strategy
You want to implement a safety strategy but realize the effort and culture change this will take and you don’t know where to start. Safety strategies usually have 5–6 components. We understand how they connect and how to start the change.
Safety Development
You have a need for due diligence training and root cause analysis for leaders. Do you often wonder what your leaders may not know or what they are not doing well? These programs will provide them with the basic knowledge they need so you can rest more easily.
Safety Inspections
You feel an external inspector should assist with your safety strategy and efforts. External inspectors come with an unbiased view and often times do not suffer from normalized deviation that some employees or joint health and safety committee members can naturally develop over time.
Joint Health Safety Committee (JHSC) Consulting
The repositioning of your current safety state will need buy in from the JHSC since they will be critical to its success. We have chaired two JHSC's in the past and can support getting all the members onboard.
JHSC Training (Mandatory in New Brunswick)
To comply with legislation your members need to receive the training within a year of becoming members from an approved vendor. You want your members to receive the same message, from the same facilitator, at the same time. We ensure this happens and keep participants on task using the CAL approach.
Crisis Management
Does your business have a community hazard that potentially threatens the workplace? Did you just experience a critical workplace injury? We have gained experience in these areas and can guide you to minimize disruption with empathy.
Right to Refuse
You have an employee who has exercised the right to refuse from a safety perspective. Now, what do you do? This can be tricky to navigate, and we can provide the guidance each step of the way.
