Our Customized Solutions
Employee Handbook - Do your handbooks include information that might be outdated very soon? Without legally compliant policies and procedures in place, your company's exposure to employment law liability is enormous. Let our experts create a handbook that will help keep your company on track and will last.
Job Descriptions- Every function of human resources leads back to the job description. From the job posting used to attract qualified candidates, to the review used to gauge performance, the job description can either create a solid foundation from which we define many other programs or it can be a weak one causing every other program to be poorly executed. We assist you in creating job descriptions and therefore a solid foundation that is legally compliant and strong enough to build upon.
Employee Relations - It is a necessity to have an employer-employee relationship that is conducive to an environment that is productive and efficient but also motivates and increases morale. Inevitably, conflict does arise and often times how we handle it can make or break us. How do you know you are doing the right thing...the fair thing...the legal thing?
Team-Building - We assist in the development of your staff members into cohesive, goal-oriented teams using fun, proven exercises that identify and quantify key relationship-building facets of your work environment.
Mentoring - Mentoring cultivates tomorrow's leaders, heightens confidence and trust among managers and employees, improves employee retention and job performance, and helps maintain competitive advantages. ASHR can help establish a mentoring program in your organization.
Human Resource Audits- Do you know where to start? What programs are lacking, which ones need to be replaced and where are the gaps in your overall strategy?
Our team is adept in the area of applying a human resources gap analysis to your procedures to uncover the hidden exposures that can cost your company dearly.
With our audit, every aspect of the employee life cycle, management standard and company policy will be reviewed for compliance.
Performance Management - Any process that is used throughout the organization must be consistent in order to promote fair and equitable practices. Your performance management system is no different.
We design a performance process to reflect the overall company strategy that gets your team moving in the right direction.
ASHR can give you the tools and training you need to effectively manage and inspire your team to accomplish the organization's vision with a performance management system that makes sense.
We can also take your annual evaluation process to the next level by examining the skills, knowledge and abilities your current staff members have and linking them to your business needs and objectives.
Training- Quality training is vital to the evolution and progression of any learning organization.

Compliance Training - further reduces your level of risk and educates your team in making the best decisions for the organization as a whole.
Workplace Investigations - In a workplace misconduct situation, the best scenario for the employer involves using a trained, third-party professional with years of experience in performing investigations.
We offer the ability to uncover the issues and know exactly how to prevent recurrence.
Our trained staff will be able to navigate your company through this precarious process and reduce your exposure to costly litigation.
Payroll & Benefit Resources - Our team is backed by the latest knowledge of PEO offerings, Payroll services & Benefit provider resources and we know how to make that customized fit between your company's needs and the services that you really require. We have extensive knowledge within the industry and we can help you avoid having to spend an immense amount of time comparing payroll companies. We also help you decipher all those convoluted sales proposals. Not every payroll and benefit solution is the same, therefore you need a solution that is tailor-made. We help you make the perfect match!
Web-based Time & Attendance
–
One of your most significant expenses is your labor cost; however, it is also one that can be easily tracked and controlled. If not, you’re wasting thousands of dollars in unnecessary wages. AmeriSource is a provider of a real-time, robust time & attendance system. Packages include mobile app time capturing, job costing, expense tracking, time off accruals and auto-notifications with workflow processes, report writing and export capabilities.Compensation Studies - Many growing companies do not have the time to stop and think about what the appropriate salary might be for their new hires. Many times they rely solely on what the position has been paid historically, assumption of the job worth, or they do a quick search on one of these “free compensation calculators”. The truth is, many organizations may be missing the mark on accurate compensation for several or all of their positions. This could have a multiplicative effect on the company's bottom line...especially when turnover and merit increases are factored in.
Custom Policy/Program Development - There is growing trend in companies developing unique policies and/or perks to set themselves apart from other companies. Doing so increases employee retention, morale and the ability to recruit top talent. We have helped many clients brainstorm, create and implement such programs with great success.
Recruiting - Today's unemployment situation affords employers the luxury of a huge pool of applicants with which to fill their open positions. However, the time it takes to sort through all those resumes that you will inevitably receive is not normally available to you or your staff. Job seekers are sending their resumes to every available job making it harder for employers to keep up with the flood and identify the best candidates for the job. Let us do the recruiting for you and make your job of selecting the best person for the job that much easier.
OSHA Compliance, Safety & Risk Management - Our Risk Management staffs’ diverse background in multiple industries allows us to understand the difficulties that employers face when trying to save money manage their workforce and comply with the many demands made by regulatory agencies. From safety programs, injury prevention, claim review and insurance oversight, ASHR offers a unique spectrum of Risk Management services to keep your hard earned dollars in your pocket, instead of the insurance carriers.
Worksite Safety Audits and Risk Analysis - The budget and Reconciliation Act, which was passed by the 101st Congress, increased the amount for penalties that may be imposed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Currently the maximum allowable penalty of $70,000 for each willful or repeated violation and $7,000 for each serious or other than serious violation may be assessed.
Worksite Risk Analysis assists in reducing exposure of liability from OSHA non-compliance resulting in penalties and determines the appropriate steps required to control/ reduce losses resulting from accidents. ASHR performs an initial confidential Worksite Risk Analysis that will evaluate and identify the strengths and weaknesses of your current safety programs and compliancy with federal and state mandated OSHA requirements.
The Worksite Risk Analysis includes:
A thorough inspection of your facilities and/ or work sites.
A review of your current safety programs.
An evaluation of the entire facility/ operation.
A comprehensive written report that includes findings of potential risk factors and
recommendations for improvement.
Compliance and Safety Training - ASHR provides the training and backup documentation to get you and keep you in compliance with ongoing safety and NEW employee orientation. We will also analyze your history and loss trends to address specific concerns or hazards that are creating injuries in your
workplace. Trainings are available on-site to meet productivity needs and convenience. Below are examples of the trainings we provide:
