The definition of the scope of the human resources function of any organization generally begins with the size and nature of the business. The number of employees, the skills and qualifications needed to provide the company's products and services, and the compliance issues related to people management form the basis of the traditional HR job description. However, with businesses constantly examining the health of their foundations, the human resource landscape takes on new images. The traditional duties of workforce recruiting and hiring and employee benefits are being joined by a growing number of somewhat unrelated assignments.

The savvy HR Manager turns complicated responsibilities and time constraints into opportunities. Knowing where to find the best solutions that protect your organization's people, productivity, and profitability is half the battle. Boldly taking advantage of them is the other half.

Nitty-Gritty Solutions' Workforce Productivity Program™ will help you define and implement the programs and services that address your increasingly diverse responsibilities that are made more complicated by an uncertain business climate. The Program includes an array of services that will help you to effectively dispatch HR responsibilities spanning from employee recruitment to outplacement, as well as a host of risk management and asset protection systems.

As a one-source human resource and risk management company, Nitty-Gritty Solutions either will work with you to develop productive solutions to your workplace issues or implement entire programs on an outsource basis. The choice is yours!

Everyday Challenges

The "people business" isn't as narrow as it once was. Your customers demand quality, on-time delivery, and knowledgeable, friendly service. They also want constant improvements and added dimensions to current products and services. Your job, as HR Manager, is to anticipate the market so that you can deliver a qualified workforce who can satisfy your customers and gain a bigger piece of the market for your organization.

Skills and qualifications for each job must be properly defined. Recruitment and hiring practices must be honed. Salary and benefits must match the duties and authorities of the job. Orientation and on-going communication must fit naturally into every day.

Federal, state and local compliance issues are becoming more prolific by the day. Failure to meet standards and missed reporting deadlines can mean tough consequences for the organization. The workforce will feel the ripple effect, and their loyalties will be challenged.

The availability of other senior management team members to manage the facilities, maintain proper working equipment, acquire insurance coverage for the company's assets add an additional burden to the already overloaded job description of the HR Manager.

You're expected to meet the needs of your organization and your customers with timely action based on solid information. Yet the issues and their depth keep changing. The best thing you can do is to share your knowledge of your organization and its marketplace environment with those who make it their business to keep current with the "best practices" of workforce recruitment and retention, compliance issues, risk management and asset protection, and the delivery of exceptional customer service.

Productive Solutions Through Partnering

As the Human Resource Manager, your job is to provide your organization with cost-effective and efficient solutions to ongoing human talent concerns. Whether you perform this feat on your own or cause it to happen with the help of a strategic partner is of no consequence as long as your response is cost-effective and efficient. So why experience the learning curve and risk the chance of missing your mark because you choose to "go it alone?" Why not take advantage of the experience of a company that has proven time and again that lean operations can lead to a more satisfied and qualified workforce, higher productivity, and increased profits?
