Training
Your new employee is starting on Monday. What should you give them on that day and what types of training will they need? Do you have enough information from them to be able to put them on payroll? Each employee should sit through several hours of orientation in order to understand what is expected of them during the first few weeks of employment. Be sure your program is comprehensive and includes benefit explanations so that they can make informed decisions.
- New Hire Orientation program – every new employee should hear the same thing
- New hire forms – what to include (tax forms, etc.)
- Employee handbooks or on-line policies
- Is payroll ready for my new employee
- Explaining benefits (medical, dental and 401k), including fringes, holidays, vacation, sick days
or PTO - Personnel files should be compliant with regulations
Career Development
What do employees want from your business? Can you retain them by keeping them happy? Studies show us that monetary reasons are not why employees leave their positions. Find out what you need to do to retain your people. A meaningful performance management process with realistic goals helps employees to shape their career paths.
Employee surveys help to find out ways to retain your employees. Choices HR Outsourcing can design and administer a survey for you as well as lead focus groups after the results have been shared.
Law suits are the result of poor training. Be sure your employees know what workplace harassment is. It can seem harmless, but a touch on a shoulder can take you down a long and expensive road with your attorney.
The compensation process can lack organization. Be sure that your employees have job descriptions, goals for improvement and salaries that are market comparative.
