Human Resources Development with the Strategic Vision and Mission

GSSI makes sure our client’s vision, mission, and values aren’t just words nicely framed and hung on the wall. These ennobling, clarifying statements create the context and purpose of all systems and outcomes. Our strategic management expertise helps clients integrate all business functions, to include HR, into a coherent effort accomplishing shared goals and objectives. The specific strategic HR support we provide includes:

  • Organizational Development

    Our strategists help clients clarify and improve their business model and build or modify the organizational logic that delivers the brand promise. We help you get the right person into the right job at the right time. We help you design an organization that fulfills the mission, lives the values, and achieves the vision.

  • Policy Development & Monitoring

    Clear, useable policies provide the guidance leaders and employees need to do their jobs and make decisions. There are no ‘cookie cutter’ solutions for policies. Your company is unique, so your policies need to be unique. GSSI will help you develop new policies or revise existing policies so that they are meaningful and effective.

  • HR Metrics

    ”If you don’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” Business leaders and owners have no problem measuring financial metrics. Some overlook developing and measuring the key performance indicators of an effective HR program. GSSI’s HR strategists help clients develop, measure, and report on the key metrics that keep the organization correctly staffed and motivated.

  • Employee Handbooks

    An employee handbook is an essential communication tool for your organization to communicate general guidelines and expectations for employer and employee throughout the employment relationship. GSSI can create a handbook for you or review/edit your current handbook to ensure legal and ethical compliance.

  • HR Information Systems for record keeping

    There are so many software packages for Human Resources record keeping. If you don’t already have software, we will work with you to select the best software for your needs. If you have software, GSSI will work with you to ensure you’re getting the most benefit from your current software.

HR Compliance Audit

Ignorance is not bliss when it causes companies to not comply with laws and regulations! What you don’t know or don’t do in employment issues from recruiting to terminations can and do result in lawsuits, which eventually cost businesses a lot of money. Our HR experts provide a complete audit to keep you in compliance and to help you get back on track if something is wrong. Here are the areas our experts address when conducting an HR compliance audit:

  • Mandated Benefits Compliance

    GSSI will audit and ensure your organization is in compliance with federal and state mandated benefits like unemployment, worker’s compensation, Family Medical Leave Act, Jury Duty, Military Leave, etc.

  • Employment Law Compliance

    GSSI offers on-going expert consultation to our clients regarding all employee relations issues that can arise at any time from the recruiting process, to employment matters, to issues surrounding disciplinary actions and terminations.

  • Wage & Hour Compliance

    Fines and penalties for non-compliance to Wage and Hour issues are soaring. Let GSSI help ensure you are in compliance with costly Wage and Hour issues.

  • Record Keeping Compliance

    It is not as easy as having “just a personnel file” anymore. Some forms need to be filed separately; medical records must be maintained according to HIPAA regulations; and it’s important to know record retention requirements. GSSI will ensure that you’re keeping the appropriate records; maintaining them in the proper place; and keeping them for as long as required.

  • Compliance Training for Supervisors and Non-supervisors

    Making sure your supervisor and non-supervisor employees are properly trained on all essential legal matters is not only the right thing to do, it significantly reduces your chances of ending up in court. Supervisors and non-supervisors need to understand their legal rights and what they can and can not do in employment. Without compliance training, employees can unwittingly violate HR laws and regulations. Our trainers at GSSI can “train-the-trainer” or conduct the training necessary to ensure employees receive training on essential laws.

Recruiting, Staffing, Engagement, and Retention

At GSSI, we strongly believe that getting the right people into the right position is the major step to business success. We can assist clients with their recruiting practices to attract and hire top talent. GSSI’s HR experts help clients develop and sustain HR processes that support excellent performance and profitable employee retention.

  • Recruiting and Hiring Support

    Hiring the right people is a two-fold process. First, applicants should be a good company fit and, secondly, they must be a good job fit. GSSI provides clients with state-of-the-art employee assessment solutions. Additionally, we help clients improve their hiring process and provide training for interview and selection processes.

  • Employee Retention & Engagement

    Turnover costs companies millions of dollars each year. The loss of a valued employee has significant consequences on operations. Why do people rush to leave companies? Unmet job expectations, disappointing first days on the job, poor and untrained supervisors, compensation that doesn’t make sense or seems unfair, feeling devalued and unrecognized, loss of trust in company leadership, and more. Employees either quit and leave or, worse, quit and stay. With state of the art assessment tools, GSSI can assess current employee satisfaction and engagement, and has a proven track record for effective and measurable employee retention and engagement strategies.

  • HR Metrics

    ”If you don’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” Business leaders and owners have no problem measuring financial metrics. Some overlook developing and measuring the key performance indicators of an effective HR program. GSSI’s HR strategists help clients develop, measure, and report on the key metrics that keep the organization correctly staffed and motivated.

  • Employee Communicationst

    Employee communications may be the most consistent and difficult problem for strategic leaders. In nearly all employee opinion surveys GSSI conducted throughout the US, employees assert that there is a lack of communications in their organizations. As one strategic leader stated, “The best laid plans without communication will fail miserably.” GSSI understands the criticality of this issue and can help you improve your internal and external communications.

  • Training Management

    One of the most frequent problems we have seen is strategic leaders who “throw” training at a performance problem. There are times when lack of skill it is not the problem. We help clients conduct a thorough needs assessment to clarify the real issues, and develop the right intervention.

  • Career Management and Succession Planning

    Career management is the practice of helping an individual identify his or her career ambitions. The sequence of job experiences, education and training should help an individual prepare for future jobs to benefit the individual and the organization. GSSI has both the assessments and coaching necessary to help clients identify and manage career tracks that help them keep their best people and prepare for the future.

Employee Surveys

A leader's intuition should never be overlooked. In addition to intuition, the best of leaders seek out information to understand the situation, develop courses of action, and make decisions.

At GSSI, we have customized many surveys for our clients. These surveys get answers to their pressing questions and long-term challenges. We work with our clients to determine what information is needed and then design a survey that quickly and efficiently collects the data. Our online solutions mean we can send surveys next door or around the world. We collect the data, analyze it, and present it in a detailed report.

Leadership Assessment and Development

“Not enough coaching and feedback” shows up over and over again as one of the top 10 reasons employees leave their companies. GSSI helps clients assess leader performance, clarify or identify existing or potential problems, and develop leader development solutions. We provide customized leadership development programs and one-to-one executive coaching. We are committed to helping clients improve their succession planning so they have the right leaders ready for future challenges and opportunities.
