Human Resource Compliance
Legal compliance is simply a function of doing business. By being aware of federal and state employment regulations and pro-actively ensuring policies and practices are up to date, companies avoid unnecessary legal liability.
Recruitment/ Employment
The ability to attract and retain top talent is of utmost importance for a company to meet the goals of its strategic plan. Mathews Consulting can help maximize your time and recruiting efforts.
HR Strategic Planning
The most effective and value-added HR departments align their goals to the overall business strategy. Mathews Consulting is skilled at assessing the strategic level of HR departments and then working with the business to focus HR efforts on supporting the business plan with forward-thinking practices.
Internal Investigations & Employee Relations
In certain situations, an objective third-party mediator is a better option for resolving employee conflicts. Mathews Consulting professionals provide outside perspective to ensure all parties are heard and an effective resolution is made.
Audits and Assessments
It's simply good business for leaders to audit their HR department to understand where their risks, opportunities, and legal liabilities lie. An HR audit reviews legal compliance, key policies, and current practices to ensure that the HR department will succeed. When the audit is complete, the company receives a roadmap detailing what needs to be accomplished and with what level of priority.
Coaching & Performance Management
Engaged employees know what is expected of them and how their efforts tie into company goals. Employees deserve honest and timely feedback about their performance. Company goal alignment, clear expectations and timely feedback are rooted in effective performance management. Mathews Consulting can assist in coaching high potential employees into their next role and work with the lowest tier to improve performance.
Compensation/ Job Description
Wage and Hour compliance is an area that is often ignored, sometimes resulting in significant financial penalties. Mathews Consulting is skilled at assessing compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act through review of FLSA exemption designations, job descriptions, pay practices and more. In addition, Mathews can develop compensation structures and a compensation practice that retains top talent.
Employee & Management Training
An educated workforce can equate to a more productive and engaged workforce. The goal of training is to ensure that every employee, regardless of level or tenure, understands the company's expectations and procedures. Mathews Consulting develops and delivers training programs that are tailored to each company's goals and employee population. Training may be in a group setting or one-on-one, as appropriate.
Benefit Plan Design
Insurance costs keep rising and companies are struggling to keep expenses in line. Through strategic benefit planning, wellness initiatives and continuous utilization monitoring, these expenditures could be contained . . . if not improved.
HR Technology
Paper processes can be labor intensive, error prone and may hinder department efficiencies. With today's technology, many solutions are available to any size employer, with the cost and type of system customizable to fit all needs. Mathews Consulting helps companies determine whether or not a technology solution makes sense, determining which solution to buy and can assist through the full implementation process, as needed.
Employee Handbook/Policy Development
Mathews Consulting is skilled at Handbook review and/or development. Many times, an Employee Handbook is an organization's first line of defense in legal claims or EEOC proceedings. Well-written, up to date policies and procedures also provide employees with a ready reference of information on topics pertinent to their employment.
FMLA Administration
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is often referred to as one of the most difficult employment related benefits to administer. Navigating through vague definitions, documentation practices and different state and federal regulations is time consuming. In addition, incidents that combine FMLA with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) and/or Worker's Compensation can be downright daunting. Mathews Consulting provides you practical solutions, from out-sourcing your FMLA needs to on-site audits, procedure development and training.
