Our Work
Following is a more detailed look at the services Armoni Consulting offers in three key areas:
Motivating and Communicating With Employees
Are your senior managers in touch with your employees’ needs? Are you in touch with how your managers are actually performing?
From our vast experience evaluating how companies function, we know that most workplace problems stem from miscommunication among company owners, managers and employees. Michelle also knows that most employees – whether high-level managers or entry-level new hires – are more comfortable and honest when working with a neutral, outside consultant than when speaking directly to their bosses. Armoni Consulting can get to the root of your difficulties by performing a formal or informal needs assessment. We also can help you:
- • Develop an employee manual that sets just the right tone
- • Create an effective performance-evaluation system
- • Establish a company culture that motivates your employees
- • Ensure that all levels and departments are communicating well
- • Decide how much to reveal to your employees about the company’s
performance
- • Inspire your senior managers to work toward a common goal
Complying With Labor Laws
Labor law is not only complex but also constantly changing. What business owner has the time to keep up? On the other hand, if you’re not current on the regulations – whether in workers’ comp, sexual harassment, pregnancy discrimination, OSHA or EEO – you could find yourself in a heap of trouble. Although we’re not lawyers, Armoni Consulting can help protect you against expensive fines or costly wrongful-termination lawsuits. We can also help you:
- • Ensure that your hiring, firing and disciplining practices are legal
and effective
- • Classify your employees correctly as exempt or non-exempt and
pay them appropriately
- • Understand how to operate in the workers’ comp system
- • Deal with employees who aren’t performing
- • Implement an alcohol- and drug-screening process
- • Lead a legal harassment investigation
- • Keep up to date with state-mandated employee postings
Staffing, Benefits and Compensation
Many business owners often find themselves rushing into “panic recruitment”: they hire in distress when a position suddenly opens up. This isn’t the way to get the best people for the job. Armoni Consulting can make sure you have a system in place so that qualified potential hires are on file, saving you time, money and the trouble of replacing employees who don’t work out. In the arena of hiring, benefits and compensation, she can also help you:
- • Write the perfect job description
- • Set a pay scale that is competitive but doesn’t run you out of
business
- • Ensure your benefits will attract key personnel
- • Field benefit questions for your employees
- • Create an orientation program for new employees
- • Develop a contingency plan in case senior staff members leave the
company
