Why choose Ortexia's Employee Relations Services?
Maintaining an environment that is conducive to work is the foundation of a good employee-relations program. Employee relations refers to the ongoing process of maintaining a productive, equitable, and smoothly functioning workplace—a place where employees do their jobs well, get along with each other, and can depend on the organization to help solve disputes impartially. When it comes to employee relations, your three watchwords should always be “fairness,” “consistency,” and “communication.” And your bible should be the Employee Handbook we discussed in our Onboarding Services Page. The more situations you can anticipate – and develop policies for – in your Employee Handbook, the easier it will be to treat employees fairly and consistently when problems arise.
The Manager’s Philosophy
Managers can choose or not choose to treat employees in a respectful way. However, going the respect route is an HR “best practice” that can yield higher levels of productivity and lower turnover. Plus, it’s the right thing to do. Our consultants help you ask the right questions – about what you can do as a manager to ensure your employees have everything they need to succeed at their jobs. Do they have a clear understanding of their responsibilities? Do they need a coworker to help them complete their assignments? Or maybe you need to institute a formal mentoring program?
The best time to solve employee problems is always before they begin. Our consultants help you become proactive in making sure employees have the tools, the support, and the workplace environment they need to enjoy their jobs and do them well. We ensure that each one of your employees has current, realistic performance objectives and a clear understanding of their job responsibilities. Our coaches and counselors can help your employees succeed! Your own success as a manager depends on your ability to get things done and reach your goals through your employees. At the same time, you need to lead, support, and develop your team members, which can be a tough balancing act.
As Employee Relations Consultants we can help you:
Message for HR Managers
We help your organisation establish the fact that frequent, specific, accurate, and timely feedback is one of the most critical requirements for sustained high-level performance from your organisation’s employees. When performance or behavioral issues exist, treat the employee as an adult and provide genuine support for them to change. in the post-Covid work-from-home culture some of the hot-button issues in employee relations include online sexual harassment, inappropriate use of social media and moonlighting.
Our job as consultants is to make sure you identify and anticipate as many of these issues as possible. We help you create a legal, non-discriminatory policy for dealing with each of them. We ensure your employee handbook clearly defines that policy – exactly how you expect your employees to comply with it – and what will happen if they don’t. Your watchwords are communication, consistency, and fairness. If you get those three things right, you will go a long way to creating a happy and productive workforce!
