Human Resources
In a nutshell, HR inspires people to walk out the plans and visions for business. This website contains a comprehensive list of Braymark services we think will help poisition you to realize your company’s potential. For some of you, it might make sense to outsource your entire HR function. For others, those with dedicated HR programs already in place, we can assist with specialized services that complement your HR department. In both cases, Braymark will work with you to provide the tools you need, when you need them. We encourage you to tour our site and contact us for more information.
Employment Law is to Canada what Personal Injury Law is to the U.S. While legislation is designed to provide a great work environment for your people, its complications can pose an administrative nightmare, which can suck the life out of your company. And don’t forget the huge costs litigation can bring!
In order to stay in compliance with the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Common Law, Ontario Labour Relations Board, Human Rights Tribunal, WSIB and the like, it is critical you practice due diligence. Braymark will assist you in developing and implementing preventative measures to protect your staff and yourself.
Policies and Internal Communication
Creating Employee Handbooks and policy memos, and handling internal communication can all be dicey and onerous tasks. You want to ensure that the positive message you have about your business and your future is clearly communicated to and internalized by your staff. In addition, communications of a sensitive nature need careful attention or they have the potential to spread negativity throughout your organization. Acheiving great company communication can be an elusive target…one we can help you hit.
Compensation, Incentives & Total Rewards
Hiring great people does not then permit you to fly on auto pilot. Great people need to be motivated. Braymark will provide you with relevant salary information to ensure your base wages are in line with your industry. Braymark will also show you how to link incentives and rewards with the behaviours you want to see from your staff. It is rewarding to watch how the right incentives can inspire your staff to excel.
Once you have the right staff and you’ve motivated them to excel, nothing deflates them faster than poor training. It doesn’t do much to serve your customers either. Braymark will develop and conduct practical in-house and on-the-job training that ensures your business plan is executed on the front line. Training can also be intertwined with your Sales and Marketing initiatives for optimal results. Investment in training is measurable and can make a huge improvement to your work environment and to your bottom line.
The accountability issue in business is huge! Unfortunately, not many companies execute their appraisal system consistently. How often are you frustrated by the fact that you have reviewed something with staff or management—reviewed it again and again—and the behaviour has not changed? Then you look into their personnel file only to find nothing: no appraisal and no improvement plan.
Nintey-five percent of goals set are met! Braymark will assist you in bringing accountability to your company through a performance management system that works.
Leadership Training/Executive Coaching
Leadership development, self improvement and challenge combine to create an inspired culture in your company. Merely maintaining status quo in today’s global economy is no longer acceptable. In order to take your leadership beyond trends, we’ll draw out your manager’s talents by getting them thinking, creating, and developing plans that will motivate them to grow your business.
Vacant leadership positions and recurring recruitment costs drain your company’s time and resources. Current and future gaps in your leadership and technical skills can be mitigated with a focused Succession Plan. Proactive succession planning identifies your internal talent pool and highlights where future leadership and skills gaps might occur.
Benefit program costs are spiraling upwards. Controlling your benefit plan costs while retaining a healthy and productive workforce is important to your business but can be challenging to accomplish. In partnership with a preferred benefits provider we can introduce benefit solutions that reflect the culture of your company. Further to this we can show you how to reestablish your benefit program so that your staff will see it as an added value, rather than an entitlement.
Changes to Health and Safety legislation in Canada have made great strides in improving working conditions for people. Safer workplaces have meant greatly reduced incidents of lost time injuries and fatalities. However, even with stringent new standards, provincial and federal governments are not satisfied with current safety statistics and have committed big resources to help you improve workplace safety.
Braymark will design your Health and Safety program to make certain your company remains safe for your staff, and your program remains compliant. Health and Safety is an important reality of doing business in Canada and we can ease the pressure imposed by Health and Safety legislation and allow you to focus on growing your business.
WSIB Administration & Management
An effective WSIB management program can reduce premium costs, avoid fines and maintain compliance with the Ministry of Labour and WSIB regulations. Whether you are filing employer forms, getting staff back to work quickly, or involved in mediation or appeals Braymark can set up a program that is proven to work.
Maintaining an unbiased approach to workplace investigations is difficult, especially when you are investigating the very people you work with every day. From accident investigation to workplace harassment, theft and WSIB fraud, let Braymark employ effective investigation practices and help provide a path to a fair resolution.
Terminating staff, regardless of the circumstances, is difficult. Whether a termination involves one individual or a large group, we provide individualized resume counselling, teach job-finding skills and offer general support. Our Outplacement Service assists employees with their employment transition and preserves positive relations with your remaining employees. Contact us for a list of programs to fit your situation.
