ClearOptions Streamlining HR Processes
Time\Cost Management
Do you find that you and the team are constantly fighting fires and do not have the resources to devote to working on strategic issues that impact the bottom line? In a time of declining resources and demand to produce more with less – it is critical that companies have effective time and cost management systems. Outsourcing and the automation of many basic human resources functions such as payroll, benefits administration, and record keeping are freeing up human resources professionals so that they can become members of their organizations' strategic management teams. ClearOptions can help you:
- Reduce process times and increase efficiency of your key HR processes
- Minimize administrative time allowing staff to focus on strategic value-add activities
- Ensure the timely completion of the project with the human and financial resources that are available to the project
- Provide training as needed versus hiring staff that may not be utilized on a full-time basis
- Identify tasks that should be eliminated or could be done differently saving time and money
- Outsource functions for optimal use of resources and to reduce costs
- Develop scorecard analysis that measures each HR function in terms of process, technology, and benchmark analysis
Process Management
Have you experienced declining customer satisfaction levels or an increase in customer complaints? Do you have overworked employees who are facing endless backlogs and overtime, preventing them from being productive and creating low morale? Are you struggling with moving away from manual processes and moving to an integrated technology model? Are you growing faster than your salary budget and need assistance in managing the increasing workload and responsibilities? ClearOptions will work with you and your team to identify and measure the existing processes and impact on the workload, determine root issues and causes that are hindering productivity and efficiency, and design and build more efficient processes. Streamlining also provides an opportunity to regroup and refocus your team efforts on pressing concerns that ultimately affect your department's workload.
Performance Management
Does your organization have an effective performance management system? No process is more critical in an organization which goes beyond merely setting goals and objectives. Exceptional companies have an effective system of managing the performance of employees and rewarding and retaining their talent. The Performance evaluation ensures that individuals are completing tasks at the appropriate level and contributing to the achievement of high-level company targets and objectives. These cascading complex strategic objectives are communicated to individuals based on their position within the organization. ClearOptions can help to:
- Define the organization’s mission, vision and values which are the very core of performance management
- Design effective and user-friendly performance management systems that align with the organizational goals and drive bottom line results
- Develop supervisory training on effective review techniques including setting goals and competency development
- Develop systems to link pay to performance – and incorporate a pay for performance philosophy
