Nitty-Gritty Solutions promises a lot. That's because we know how to deliver results.

Your need may be as specific as an employee benefit program or management training … or as broad as HR strategic planning. You may be an organization with as few as 25 employees or as many as 50,000 workers. You may be in one location or operate sites throughout the United States. Whatever your circumstances, Nitty-Gritty Solutions will treat you with the care necessary to enhance your productivity.

A Special Client Relationship

Nitty-Gritty Solutions consistently operates according to our Care and Productivity Model™ to forge long-term alliances with organizations in all business, industry, and service fields. You might say that we take "full service" to a new level.

The Model is an intertwined approach that permits the client to receive thoughtful consideration and evaluation of its particular concern. We follow-up with program recommendation and implementation that achieve specific pre-determined goals, and results that are explained in terms of hard and soft costs.

Covering the Basics
Nitty-Gritty Solutions establishes the foundation for our working relationship at the Strategic Level, developing an understanding of what your organization values most and the business strategy that protects those values.

At this level, we look closely at the programs you have in place to safeguard your employees, fixed assets, and income. The goal is to minimize your liability. Our trained experts work with appropriate personnel to evaluate the essentials and identify the missing links in workforce management - staff hiring and retention practices, policies and procedures, and productivity measurement standards. The legal aspects of your business are reviewed in terms of compliance with federal and state regulations as well as contractual standards.

Building the Framework
With the foundation in place, we begin to build the framework for our relationship at the Tactical Level. Nitty-Gritty Solutions recommends specific approaches that will achieve the results you're looking for, keeping your expense threshold in mind. Circumstances might warrant one of the following: the development of techniques to motivate employees and reduce turnover; an appropriate level of employer-paid and supplemental benefits; a labor market analysis to discover how you can attract the most qualified workforce; and so on.

Taking Action
Now, the stage is set for the Operational Level. Your organization selects from a host of programs that will achieve the pre-determined results identified earlier. Examples of more commonly chosen programs are: safety and loss control; risk management protections; productivity-boosting efforts based on a workflow analysis or revamped techniques for recruiting, hiring and retaining employees; job training and development; employee dispute resolution; and benefit cost analysis.

Based on your organization's preferences, Nitty-Gritty Solutions will develop, implement, or share program fulfillment responsibilities with your staff.

Adding Value
The Administrative Level is just what its name implies. Certain programs require ongoing, hands-on execution and supervision.

It's generally safe to say that companies find that self-administration of certain human resource, risk management, and compliance programs too costly and time-consuming for an organization to assume itself. At the same time, the services of third-party administrators frequently leave a lot to be desired. Now, you can choose a more desirable third alternative!

Nitty-Gritty recommended the programs that we believe best fit your needs. We helped define the parameters, and agreed that your desired results are achievable. If you choose, our vested interest in the success of the program can lead to the added value of personal, knowledgeable and timely administrative talent, including claims services administration.

Establishing Dialog
The Communications aspect of Nitty-Gritty Solutions' alliance with your organization permeates the Care and Productivity Model.™ Beginning with our proposal for the engagement and following through the important progress reporting cycle, we will engage in an open dialog with senior management and other staff members as appropriate. We will share the details of program development, implementation, results and costs. We will seek feedback concerning progress and suggestions regarding modifications that can improve the experience for all involved parties.

Delivering a Win-Win Experience
Nitty-Gritty Solutions takes our alliances with our clients seriously. In order for our working relationship to succeed and last, we must deliver on our promises. Accountability is key!!

At the outset of the engagement, your organization defined specific, measurable outcomes to be achieved. We agreed that we could produce those results. We need to prove it.

You won't have to wait 12 months … or even 6 … to know whether we are on target. Nitty-Gritty Solutions provides monthly detailed reports that spell out the activity and results in terms of hard costs and productivity gains. In other words, we deliver bottom-line results.
