FAQs

 

When do I need a Human Resources Consultant?

Anytime. An HR consultant can help augment your existing resources, or step in where you have no in-house expertise. As a business owner, you are often faced with challenging Human Resource issues and may not have access to the professional expertise needed to guide you through some complex issues. An HR Consulting service provides you with the expertise you need when you need it. From hiring, termination, policy development, performance appraisals, job descriptions to workplace investigations, an HR Consultant can bring you the expertise and experience.

What is the value created by a Human Resources Consultant?

Cost and engagement. HR consultants replace the need for permanent in-house expertise, or in some cases, they may complement your existing internal structures. A consultant provides the organization with the ability to engage with subject matter experts to target organizational deficiencies.

HR Consultants provide your business with outside knowledge and moves away from organizational groupthink and invites new perspectives which can be both objective and uninfluenced by organizational hierarchy.

What does a Human Resources Consultant do?

Well, that depends on you and your organizational needs. At Sarkany we provide advanced, specialized resources from transactional to strategic- it is just that simple. We provide consultation on human resources practices, and sometimes that is nothing more than a call to walk an owner through an issue- or the strategic integration of organizational programs, processes, and policies.

Why hire an independent third-party investigator?

For a number of reasons. 

First, workplace complaints can seriously affect working groups and your entire workplace atmosphere. Workers feel more comfortable reporting incidents and accepting an outcome when they know the employer has taken the matter seriously. When a company goes out of its way to hire a third-party investigator to investigate a complaint, it elevates employees’ confidence and trust in their employer.

Next, hiring an independent third-party investigator can help safeguard the investigation against allegations of procedural unfairness. This may help you down the road, especially if there is a WorkSafe claim or lawsuit.
