Is Your Company in Compliance with all the H.R. Laws??

Does your company need a Human Resource Audit?
Regular audits or your HR practices are critical to ensure compliance and to minimize exposure to expensive lawsuits. But auditing is a risky business.
Collecting data about your workplace is an important part of HR management. For example, you may want to scrutinize exempt/nonexempt classifications or may wish to find out how the organization is doing with diversity, equal employment, or safety.

But there is a potentially big pitfall.

The results of these audits often show negative information. For example, results might show that your diversity program, affirmative action program, or safety program has produced substandard results. Or a climate survey might show that most employees think that management is discriminatory toward members of a protected group.

Unfortunately, these negative results are often discoverable in court if there's a discrimination or other type of employment lawsuit.
Whoops! The organization itself has created the evidence that will be used against it in court.

Happy Anniversary to Me!

I started my consulting firm, Williams Consulting & Coaching Group one year ago. It has been quite a journey.I had many successes and I learned the areas of consulting that I love (talking to clients, helping them with their needs) and the areas that I don't love so much (tracking my time and billing). This year my focus will expand to more corporate clients although Veterinary Management Consulting is still my passion.

I also learned that if I don't write down my goals for the day, I don't get things accomplished. Now, I write a master list and pull from that daily. I also have a "business retreat" with myself the first Monday of each month to look at what worked and what didn't work.

I will be blogging more this year and hope that you find these posts meaningful for you. Let me know what you'd like to hear about.

Gotta run, Its time for my "Business Retreat",. Until next time... - Frankie
