Human Resources Assessment & Policies and Procedures

How do organizations maximize the investment they have in their employees and deliver the best possible results? Aligning your “people practices” to your business goals and strategy is one sure way to achieve success.

While it may sound simple, few organizations take the time to ensure that all Human Resources initiatives support the ultimate business goals of their organization and in doing so limit their potential growth and profitability. INNOVA excels at helping organizations maximize their business goals through their people practices.

Effective human resource strategies and practices are a competitive advantage in business today. Assessing your current Human Resource function in relation to established best practices can provide a Company with a snapshot of their people practices and a focus for improvement. INNOVA’s HR assessment tools and methodology provide a starting point for effectively aligning a Company’s people practice and culture with the Company’s goals.

Executive & Management Search

For many business owners Executive Search is probably their most difficult task and yet the one that has the greatest impact. By aligning your recruiting and retention activities with your Business Strategy, a greater sense of clarity is obtained for both your search and retention of high performers.

Compensation, Rewards & Recognition

Total compensation systems work best when they are linked to an organization’s goals – both short term and long term. We look to ensure that a Company’s compensation programs and informal practices are internally equitable, externally competitive and affordable. There are a number of creative ways that an organization can increase productivity while maintaining current costs – through well designed Reward and Recognition or Performance Management programs that cost little but do much to increase morale and productivity.

Performance Management

An effective Performance Management system is one of an organization’s most powerful tools and yet few organizations have an effective one in place. Performance Management allows both an individual and an organization to achieve their collective goals, is integrated into day-to-day operations and provides clarity of what is expected of an employee to achieve success.

Terminations & Downsizing

Terminations and Downsizing carried out without thoughtful strategy can destroy an organization’s effectiveness. We assist organizations in minimizing the negative impact associated with downsizing, preserving their intellectual capital and retaining those high performing employees that remain.

Labour Relations, Negotiations & Grievance

Labour Relations is a highly specialized field and requires specialized expertise. Failure to anticipate and address issues early and effectively can cost an organization dearly. INNOVA provides services at all stages: labour relations strategy, negotiation, grievances and arbitration.
