You Can.....

Sterling Consulting offers a comprehensive array of expert services to support and improve your business or organization. From consulting and administrative services to training and staff development, we have solutions for your HR and management problems. Clients generally need services in one of the following areas:

Assessment - this process reviews your status in key HR performance areas and can either be a focused review or a full HR systems audit.

Problem Resolution - a particular problem exists or something critical has been determined to be missing.

Development & Growth - efforts are undertaken to enhance the functioning of the workplace. Goals range from increasing productivity to establishing high employee satisfaction, or preparing for growth due to increased business activity or mergers and acquisitions.

MANAGEMENT CONSULTATION

Consultation services can assist you in countless situations. Maybe you have a particularly difficult key employee to manage, or you are experiencing growth that requires different activities and management strategies. Perhaps you want to promote people or need to address high turnover, but you want to be sure to do it in the most appropriate and effective manner. If you are spending more time managing your employees than you are managing your business, we can help. We will help identify the path from problem to solution.

SMALL BUSINESS SERVICES

SUPERVISOR CONSULTATION & SUPPORT

Supervisors frequently encounter situations where they need advice and guidance on handling certain employee behaviors. If you do not have an HR department or HR Manager, there are times when it can seem that this is all you do. Sterling Consulting offers supervisors access to a certified HR professional who can give them expert advice regarding their employee concerns. Coaching, conflict resolution, performance management - your supervisors can get expert advice about how these and other important best practices can be applied to successfully address their unique issues. This service is offered in keeping with your own established policies and procedures, and includes an on-site orientation on how best to access and utilize this resource.

CRITICAL INCIDENT REVIEWS & INVESTIGATIONS

Sometimes, events transpire that require a formal process to be undertaken to help staff cope and adapt to significant change. The sudden death of a coworker, the need for multiple layoffs, severe damage to the work site - these events and more can distract and sometimes paralyze your employees. Sterling Consulting can employ a structured approach with you and your employees to help them move forward effectively.

If you are an employer with 15 or more employees, you are required to investigate claims or reports of sexual harassment. In a small business where everyone knows everyone, and personal relationships often exist, this can be an extremely difficult process for a manager to perform. Sterling Consulting can perform this investigation, issue findings, and make recommendations for how best to resolve the situation, helping you utilize "best practice" HR processes and ensuring an unbiased assessment of the facts.

STAFF DEVELOPMENT

Your employees are the most valuable asset you have. Investing in their knowledge and growth helps your business or organization continue to evolve and increase its capabilities. Sterling Consulting offers multiple opportunites for you to engage and develop your staff. From classic or customized training to specialized developmental series (learn more), we are your partner in strengthening your employees. Remember, their success will be your success.

EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION SURVEYS

Remember getting your report card - the anxiety of wanting to know if you were "making the grade?" An Employee Satisfaction Survey is one measure of how good a job an employer is doing. Do staff feel that they are compensated fairly, do they have the tools they need to do their jobs, are they proud of the work they do? Surveys can be used to help you become an "employer of choice," able to attract and retain the best talent possible. Sterling Consulting can help you get your report card.

MEETING ROOM & RETREATS

Need a conference room for a meeting? Our facility can accommodate groups of up to 20 at tables in a classroom setting, or up to 30 auditorium-style. We are also available to facilitate meetings, or even all-day retreats, for those times when you want to give your employees the opportunity to focus on an important topic or project, away from the distractions of the work site.
