Job Design

The average employee works less than 50% of the time effectively – even though they are often working very hard. Each second they perform unnecessary work (redundant, rework, low priority, etc.) is a second that your customers are not getting the full measure of excellence and value they demand. Good results start with good job design. PGPI can help you assess your needs and design a job for maximum impact.

Job Description

Performance Improvement At The Speed Of Thought

A properly constructed job description can be an incredibly powerful tool for your business. Employee performance and development, recruitment and staffing, safety, employee relations, compensation and various other legal considerations (reasonable accommodation under the ADA, for example) are directly impacted by this document.

PGPI will develop a job description that will help you get more out of your human assets.

Job Analysis

The careful review of a job is an essential step in the job evaluation process for compensation and other purposes. Good job analysis and job evaluation will aid in placing a position in your pay grade and compensation structure.

Compensation Program Development And Administration

A good compensation program will help ensure that your organization is paying salary in keeping both with the demands of the job market and your ability to pay. Employee retention, your company’s profitability and various legal considerations are impacted by the soundness of your compensation plan. A good compensation plan will help your organization; a poor one will cause unnecessary headaches and financial loss.

Whether you need job design, job description, job analysis and evaluation, annual salary structure and wage increase recommendations, information on how to comply with the requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended, the Equal Pay Act or any number of other services, PGPI can help.

Employee Recognition Program Development And Administration

What gets measured; gets done. What gets recognized; gets done well. Employees work harder when they know that what they do is appreciated. In today’s fast paced business environment it is entirely too easy to forget to say “thanks” for a job well done. PGPI will develop an employee recognition program for your business.

Employee Communications

Solutions Cost Less Than Problems

In the vacuum created by the lack of good information, bad information, rumors and fear rushes in. Many organizations have neither the time nor expertise to put together good employee communications programs. PGPI can create meeting plans, surveys, newsletters and a wide variety of other tools to keep your employees up-to-date on your business, competitors, and happenings.

Employee Retention

Your Company’s Destiny Has A Heartbeat

The United States is in the midst of a labor crisis of historic proportion. Unfortunately, the labor crisis, which is driven by the aging of American, will be both severe (some analysts believe there may be as many as 30 million more jobs than people to fill them by 2010) and long lasting. In the near future, if you lose an employee, you may not be able to get another.

Your ability to satisfy your customer depends upon your ability to attract and retain a high quality, “engaged” workforce. PGPI is uniquely qualified to help you develop strategies, policies and practices that will make current employees wish to stay and grow with your organization.

Outsourced Human Resources Department Operations

Interim Human Resource Executive Replacement

When you lose a major HR staff member, you often lose forward momentum, employee’s needs go unmet and legal compliance suffers. While you are trying to fill this important position, PGPI can provide a highly qualified professional to fill the gap.

Custom Salary, Benefit And Practice Surveys

Sometimes commercially available salary surveys just don’t meet the need. In those cases, PGPI can develop and perform a custom salary survey designed to provide the information you rally want.

Employee Opinion Surveys

Employee surveys provide an objective measurement of your employee’s opinions on key benefit, management and related matters. These surveys help you know where you are now and give you both a means to prioritize employees issues and a way to measure your success with changes implemented.

Each survey is customized to meet your organization’s specific needs. To ensure the highest quality survey output, a member of PGPI’s staff administers each survey session.

Employee Focus Groups

Focus groups can provide excellent information on employee likes, dislikes, needs, thoughts and suggestions. PGPI can develop and facilitate focus group activity that will provide you the insight you need to make critical business decisions.

Exit Interviews

Good exit interviews tell you what you are doing well and what you might consider doing differently. PGPI custom develops exit interviews to get needed information about why your employee left and what you can do to prevent others from leaving. Good exit interviews can be a way to “save” a percentage of those leaving the organization where misunderstandings can be corrected or small changes can be made. Additionally, exit interviews often allow exiting employees a chance to “vent” and reduce your exposure to lawsuit and bad publicity.

Retention Interviews

Why wait until someone decides to leave to talk to them openly about how they feel about their job, things that make them happy or disappoint them. Keeping your high quality employees will be an increasingly important competitive advantage to your company. PGPI develops customized retention interviews that help you spot needs before the employee has begun looking for a new job.
