Attraction and Retention Practices

High turnover is a very expensive proposition to employers and is often representative of inadequate recruitment techniques or weak management of your resources.  In a recent published survey of workers in Canada, it was reported that up to 65% of employees are unhappy in their job and are actively seeking alternate employment.  Reasons stated for wanting to leave their employer include lack of recognition, poor leadership, or they are struggling in their job because it is not a good fit for them.  Some experts suggest turnover can cost you the equivalent of 2 times an employees salary. To understand why you may be having turn over, our expert staff will analyze your compensation/benefit administration processes, your recruitment methodology and through employee/management interviews will determine why employees are leaving your organization. Once we are able to present solid evidence of what is going wrong, we will guide you in the updating of your processes to ensure you can increase productivity and decrease the risk of employee dissatisfaction. And we will pay very close attention to your new employee orientation program to ensure employees start their work assignments in a positive manner and have all the tools necessary to become successful in their position.

Other areas of investigation will include policy reviews, recruitment processes and employee communication tools such as employee handbooks.

Organization Development

Brant HR Consulting uses a sophisticated employee driven method of identifying the real reasons for lack of employee commitment,  poor organization results due to employee dissatisfaction or high staff turnover. We use a computerized employee opinion survey supplemented with direct Manager consultation. Through this process we help company executives understand organization challenges and guide them through improvement strategies. We assess Management skill levels, determine if your compensation program, employee recognition process and employee performance management programs are working effectively. We have the skill and experience to develop tailor made job descriptions, performance management programs, reward/recognition/incentive plans and policies and procedures that ensure your key company strategies are communicated effectively, and that employees know what to do to ensure company and personal success. We use a unique feedback system that empowers employees to accept change and to begin working in harmony with their employer.

Compensation and Performance Management

The purpose of a well developed and communicated compensation and performance management program are as follows:

  • Promote achievement of organization goals.
  • Attract and retain qualified individuals
  • Promote desired behaviors
  • Be perceived as fair and equitable
  • Be within the financial means of the organization.

A significant part of organization success and the appropriate delivery of results is contingent upon a total alignment of the planning process and employee activities.  A recent study suggests that only 8% of organization employees are completely aligned with their corporate objectives.

Our Human Resource Professionals will examine your organization's vision, mission and corporate goals and ensure your job descriptions, compensation plans, benefit plans and performance management programs are designed and implemented properly to encourage results and to reward high achievement.  We are skilled at developing and implementing a variety of compensation systems including incentive, bonus/commission structures and provide support in the regular updating of salaries to reflect cost of living or market changes.

Training and Development

We will work with you to define your training needs and to then develop informative workshops to address your requirements. All of our workshops are customized to your specific requirements and supported with handouts and reference material that can be viewed long after the workshop has been completed. If you are interested in being on our mailing list for our upcoming leadership, performance management or attraction and retention workshops please send us an email and we will put you on our notification list
