Hiring the wrong human resources management firm or hiring several firms to handle different aspects of your HR needs can lead to major trouble for your company. You may get confusing or even incorrect information that can result in having to pay back wages or worse, you could find yourself dealing with a discrimination charge and lawsuit.
The right firm will have the experience and professionalism to give you the correct advice and hold your hand every step of the way. Instead of leaving you on your own, they´ll make sure you are well-informed and supported no matter what HR issue arises. Here are the five things to look for to know you´re hiring the right HR firm.
• Decades of experience
It´s important to ask the firms you interview how long they´ve been in business. New firms simply don´t have enough experience and knowledge of changing laws and practices in the human resource industry. Without this experience, they may give you improper council on key decisions you are facing. Established firms have the experience and deep knowledge to give you the best information you need when managing your employees.
• Proven track record
Ask firms to provide you with specific data on their win records and success rates as to Wage-Hour, EEO, NLRB and other success.
• Offers a full range of HR services
Hiring several different firms for separate aspects of employee management can result in conflicting information and real communication problems that impede your ability to complete projects. Look for one firm that provides all of the employee management services you need.
• Nationally recognized
A local firm with no name recognition may charge you less, but you don’t get the same peace of mind as you would with a more recognized firm. Look for a company that has been recognized and retained by several national association groups, and Chambers of Commerce such as National Funeral Directors Association, Tire Industry Association, Automotive Parts Rebuilders Association and Tennessee Chamber of Commerce. They may charge more but can actually save you money in
the long run because you won´t have to deal with unnecessary mistakes or lawsuits.
• Diverse in clientele
We can´t emphasize it enough: The more experience your HR consulting firm has the better they will serve you. You want a firm that has worked in many different industries including your own and that has worked with small to large firms.
The stakes are too high to risk your business on the wrong HR solution. Find a firm that matches these guidelines and you can feel confident that you are hiring the right firm to meet the needs of your business.
