Developing an effective HR strategy with assessments

An HR assessment offers a starting point to developing an HR strategy that sets you up for success, now and into the future. Elements may include recruiting, manager training, leadership development, compensation and performance management. This assessment can identify gaps and help ensure you are addressing important compliance issues, ranging from general HR administration to policies and procedures.

We provide comprehensive assessments of value and effectiveness of an organization's current HR programs and processes. We employ a number of methodologies, including:

Conducting interviews with key stakeholders to ascertain the success of current HR programs from various perspectives
Creating custom surveys targeting effectiveness of key HR program(s)
Review of HR programs and processes using data analysis and best practices
Benchmarking against similarly-situated organizations in and outside of your industry to better understand what "best in class" firms are doing from an HR standpoint. We examine practices and programs which enable leading companies to best meet their business goals and customer's needs

We provide our clients with a solid framework for areas to work on in the human resources function. Following implementation of our recommendations and based upon experience with previous clients, your organization can expect to see the following results:

Increased consistency across the business allowing for organizational flexibility and improved compliance
Improved opportunity to become an employer-of-choice work environment
Reduction in legal liability and exposure

Embed Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) into your people strategy

Business leaders across nonprofit and publicly traded organizations alike increasingly recognize that the time is now to integrate DEI into their people strategy. Stakeholders including your workforce, regulators, leadership, board of directors and the public expect equity and inclusion for all employees. Organizations face pressures ranging from compliance requirements to attracting and retaining top talent in a competitive marketplace.

Beyond supporting recruitment and retention, a sense of belonging can contribute to resiliency and trust to help reduce the risk of burnout. Employee burnout negatively affects productivity, healthcare costs, and public brand perception. Regardless of your organization's position on the DEI journey, Gallagher offers a "whole person" consulting approach to accelerate your progress.

Each organization brings its own drivers concerning the need to enhance DEI.

Is there a gap between the culture you have and the culture you want?
Have you examined turnover trends and demographics?
Is there a need to respond to trends surfaced in engagement surveys?
Does the organization attract and retain the right talent?

Changing behavior requires a thoughtful, multi-step plan to support your organization across all levels. Wherever you are on your DEI journey, the time is now to embed diversity, equity and inclusion into your organization's people strategy. Partner with Gallagher for a strategic approach to help your organization to face the future with confidence.
