Redundancy / Restructuring

Adare Human Resource Management has successfully worked with organisations throughout the country in managing change through restructuring and redundancy. Our consultants manage the redundancy programme from planning through to implementation. We ensure that not only are the legislative requirements met but also provide practical advice and support on managing the communications and transition process.

Any change process can be difficult for an organisation and ensuring that a redundancy programme or restructuring is effectively managed must be a priority for organisations. Adare Human Resource Management recognise that effective organisation development and change is both a challenge and a necessity for organisations. We can provide effective proven structured solutions to ensure the necessary changes happen within the organisation.

Independent Investigations, Mediation and Facilitation

At Adare Human Resource Management, we understand how apprehensive organisations can be when faced with disciplinary or grievance issues, investigations or allegations involving their staff. Our experienced consultants can take the concern from these situations and can help you manage the situation with confidence.

Adare Human Resource Management can manage independent investigations on behalf of our client’s and always with the utmost integrity and confidentiality. We will ensure fair and reasonable resolutions without undue delay. We can also offer independent mediation and facilitation services, again handled by experienced, professional consultants. Our aim is to manage working relationships to minimise any negative business impact

We also offer training solutions for managers on all aspects of grievance and disciplinary processes – from managing investigations, responding to allegations, conducting meetings, applying appropriate sanctions and managing the relationships on an ongoing basis. Our aim is to offer practical, easy to follow guidelines that are always compliant with legislation and fair and reasonable to all parties.

Equality and Diversity

Adare Human Resource Management recognises the changing nature of the Irish workplace. As an organisation, you will have issues with managing and integrating an increasingly diverse workforce. As the experts, Adare Human Resource Management can help you deal with these issues.

We offer guidance to organisations on compliance with employment equality legislation. We can provide tailored training for management and staff both on equality legislation and the practical issues of managing a diverse workforce. We will help you recognise that everyone is different and to promote respect and value difference.

Our unique offering to clients will include an initial Equality Health Check from which we will devise an equality action plan. This may include a review of policies to ensure legislative compliance, staff focus groups, management and staff training, equality committee implementation or other initiatives to suit your organisation.

Adare Human Resource Management aims to bring clients beyond compliance to create well integrated, diverse workplaces with engaged and motivated staff. We also recognise the importance of work-life balance and family-friendly work arrangements to creating engaged, motivated and committed employees. We can work with clients to identify cost-efficient and effective solutions to suit both the organisation and employees.

Adare Human Resource Management was appointed to a panel of consultants with the Equality Authority in 2003 and since then has successfully worked with hundreds of companies throughout the country under the Grants Scheme to Promote Equality at the Level of the Enterprise. This scheme, which is free of charge to SME’s, is in place to assist Small to Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) to implement a planned and systematic approach to equality in their workplaces. This approach, which involves developing an appropriate system to respond to equality and diversity, enables an SME to move away from ad hoc, reactive or informal responses to equality and diversity. The scheme is available for organisations with less than 250 employees. This scheme is funded by the European Social Fund (www.esf.ie/en/hci-overview.aspx) and the Equality Authority (www.equality.ie) and is free of charge for the organisations involved. Please contact Derek McKay on 01 612 7092 or dmckay@adarehrm.ie to find out more details.

Investing in your future

Performance Management

We can take you through an appropriate design of a system, right through to objective setting and performance appraisals. It can be as simple or as complex as you wish. You are guaranteed an effective process that meets your organisation’s objectives.

We will help you understand performance management as a process that becomes part of the day to day culture of your organisation, and not just an annual burden. Individual goals will be designed to deliver success to your organisation.

We will train your managers in conducting meetings, assessing performance on an ongoing basis and giving feedback. We can also help you engage your staff in the process, understand their role and how important they are to the success of the organisation. We offer innovative and cost-effective solutions for rewarding staff for performance.

We can also provide advice, guidance and support on managing poor performance or disciplinary issues within legislative guidelines.

HR Audit

There are numerous benefits of conducting a HR audit within an organisation including:

Ensuring compliance with current employment legislation and reduce any potential exposure in this area
Identifying what systems and practices should be in place within the organisation to enable the effective management of all employees
Being proactive in the area of HR including identifying priority areas and proposed deliverables for a HR Operational plan.

The audit focuses on compliance and seeks to establish the level of compliance with existing employment legislation. It also details whether your organisation has in place the required documentation should an inspection by the National Employment Rights Authority (NERA) take place. The other elements of the audit focus on key HR areas and structures that organisations should have in place to assist them with the achievement of their plans and effective people management.
