HR CONSULTING

Alera Group can meet all of your organization’s Human Resource needs. We will help you get the most out of your policies and practices. Our expertise and proven processes enable you to tie your HR practices into the success of your organization.

Organizations like yours may need a professional human resources consultant for a variety of reasons:

  • Human Resources departments are rarely, if ever, adequately staffed. In-house HR professionals are being asked to do much more with less and simply do not have the time or resources to get everything done.
  • There is no one in-house with the HR knowledge and expertise needed to help the company function effectively, strategically and legally.
  •  It is sometimes more beneficial and effective to retain an independent, neutral third party professional to provide certain services to the organization, such as conducting an investigation, delivering leadership training or facilitating strategic planning.

In situations like these, Alera Group is here to provide you with the human resources support you need to achieve the results you desire.

Alera Group provides a wide array of innovative, cost-effective HR consulting services for non-profit and for-profit organizations of all types and sizes. Services include the following:

  •        Human Resources Assessments
  •        Handbook and Policy Development, Review and/or Revision
  •        Job Descriptions
  •        Performance Management
  •        Compensation Planning and Management
  •        Talent Acquisition
  •        Investigations
  •        Employment Law and Health Benefits Compliance
