WORKFORCE STRATEGY
Our executive perspective and experience helps you assess, redesign, and improve your workforce to better align your people with your purpose.
Is your workforce structure holding you back?
Your organization's most valuable asset is its people. But in a landscape of constant regulatory change, rapid growth, and shifting market demands, it's easy for a gap to form between your business strategy and your workforce's design.
This misalignment creates friction. It can look like operational inefficiency, low morale, internal conflicts, or mounting compliance risks. You may feel your company is working in spite of its structure, not because of it.
We bridge that gap. We partner with you to transform your workforce from a simple operational cost into your most powerful strategic advantage. We assess, redesign, and develop your team's structure, policies, and practices to build a foundation for sustainable growth.
Any of these problems sound familiar?
Ambiguity & Inefficiency: Your organizational chart is unclear. Roles and responsibilities are ambiguous, leading to duplicated work, missed deadlines, and frustration.
Outdated Governance: Your employee handbook is collecting dust, and your policies haven't kept pace with new practices (like remote work, AI usage, or paid leave), exposing you to significant risk.
Structural Misalignment: You have a new five-year plan, but your team structure still reflects last year's priorities, creating silos and slowing down innovation.
Lack of Clarity: Job descriptions are vague, inconsistent, or non-existent. Managers don't have clear tools or a process for performance management, and employees don't have a clear path for growth.
Reactive Management: You are constantly putting out "people fires" instead of proactively building a high-performing culture.
Our Approach: 360-Degree Workforce Strategy
We provide end-to-end management consulting to build a workforce that works. Our services are tailored to your unique needs, from targeted projects to a complete organizational overhaul.
1. Workforce Assessment
Organizational Structure Audit: We analyze your existing org chart, reporting lines, and departmental silos to identify points of friction and inefficiency.
Policy & Handbook Review: A thorough audit of your employee handbooks, policies, and procedures to identify compliance gaps and areas of risk.
Role & Competency Analysis: We interview key stakeholders and map current roles to understand who actually does what, versus what was originally intended.
2. Strategic Workforce & Organizational Design
Organizational Chart Redesign: We design clear, scalable organizational structures that break down silos, improve communication, and empower your teams to execute.
Job Description & Competency Modeling: We craft clear, precise, and legally-sound job descriptions that define accountability, establish performance metrics, and attract top-tier talent.
Career Pathing & Succession Planning: We help you build a framework that develops and retains your best people by showing them a clear path for advancement.
3. HR Handbooks and Policy
We help you build the "operating system" for your people—a clear framework that ensures fairness, clarity, and legal protection:
Custom Employee Handbooks and Policies: Comprehensive, easy-to-understand, and compliant handbooks/policies that reflect your unique culture and meet all federal and state legal requirements.
Targeted Policy Creation: From remote/hybrid work and data security to codes of conduct and non-discrimination policies, we draft the specific governance you need to navigate the modern workplace.
4. Implementation and Training
New structure, policies, and procedures are the first step in improving your workforce. We also help train your employees and guide your organizational leadership toward effective implementation:
Training on Policies and Procedures: Employees need to not only understand policies and procedures, they also need to understand how to effectively apply those policies and procedures in their daily work. We help you get your workforce trained and up to speed.
Manager Development: The skills a manager needs often don’t come by default—they come through deliberate training and practice. Because managers often need additional support and guidance to do their job well, we help you develop your managers to be their best. Training topics often include performance management, team motivation, and legal best practices.
