Updated HR Policies and Leadership Development Programs Benefit a Small Manufacturing Company:

A small tooling company had outdated employee policies and managers lacking “people oriented” skills, resulting in numerous issues. Taligence updated the employee handbook and provided employee relations training to the management team. More importantly, our consultants provided “hands on” coaching and mentoring to managers on specific employee issues. In addition, a new employee orientation program was created and instituted to assure that new hires started on the right track with all the necessary information and knowledge about the company. The result: better employee relations and greatly improved communication between the staff and management.

Start-up Telecom Needs Employee Performance Review and Compensation Policies:

A start-up, mid-sized telecommunications company with 130 employees had a dilemma: how to develop a compensation program that ties merit pay and bonuses to employee performance. The solution: consultants from Taligence developed employee evaluations tools that tied business goals and objectives to performance. Simultaneously, market-oriented compensation guidelines were developed and implemented based on local labor statistics. Taligence also provided annual check-ups to ensure the ongoing competitiveness and efficacy of the program. The result: an objective performance review program, competitive pay, and increased retention.

Case Study: Dealing with post-acquisition change.

A mid-sized company with two locations and 150 employees was acquired by a publicly held corporation. The new owners lacked consistent HR functions and provided no assistance to the company in this area. Working with the executive management from both parties, consultants from Taligence created and implemented new HR policies and processes necessary to meet the needs of the new organization. In particular, we identified and initiated a program to deal with the complexities of cultural changes resulting from the acquisition, providing managers with knowledge and tools to help reduce turnover and improve employee relations.
