Our managers hate to do performance appraisals. What can we do to smooth this process and make it more acceptable to the managers?  
 

A well-designed, customized performance management system is essential to the success of your organization -- it provides the infrastructure to identify, recruit, motivate and retain key employees. Performance management systems influence the effort expended by employees, which drives bottom line business results.

Gates to HR provides the tools necessary to focus on short-term and long-term goals that contribute to both career and organizational success -- and supports your organization in developing and sustaining a culture that recognizes and rewards individual contributions and team performance.

We will develop the appraisal and feedback process with all the appropriate forms. We can also train supervisors on managing the entire process from goal setting to coaching employees.

What guidelines should an employer follow when investigating allegations of sexual harassment?  
 

When an employee complains of sexual harassment, the employer must take the complaint seriously. Employers have an obligation to investigate sexual harassment allegations promptly and take appropriate action to minimize legal liability and restore the trust and morale of its employees.

Gates to HR has the expertise to handle sensitive and confusing workplace conflicts. Often, impartial third-parties gain greater information from the employees involved.

We eliminate the time consuming and frustrating process of investigation & conflict resolution for you and provide you with invaluable information and recommendations to protect your company.

Our employees don’t fully appreciate the amount of money we spend on employee benefits. What can we do to increase their awareness?  
 

Employee benefits is a considerable expense for employers - according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, benefits typically account for 40 percent of payroll.

Gates to HR develops effective communications that generate a meaningful impact to an employee’s understanding of various benefits, mandatory and voluntary, to which an employer contributes - even if the employee does not contribute to those benefits.
