HR Consulting Services

 

JSM Appointments offers a range of Human Resources Consulting and Management Services which can be tailored to help companies attract and retain professional engineer talent.

 

The acquisition and retention of engineering professionals and other superior skills within an organisation requires a significant investment, both in time and money. Timely adoption of appropriate policies, processes and tools (such as psychometric tests) ensures that organisations are able to protect and optimise this investment, particularly with regard to engineering employment. Through our extensive experience in recruiting engineers for medium to large companies, we have developed an appreciation of the need for sound Human Resources practices that would not only attract the best engineering professionals, but also provide an environment that will meet both staff and organisational needs.

 

At JSM Appointments we understand the relationship between Human Resources activities and the company objectives to achieve a win-win outcome that will ultimately result in your organisation becoming an employer of choice for engineering professionals. Find out how we can assist your company with the development and implementation of HR initiatives, policies and processes such as performance management frameworks; learning and development frameworks for frontline management and extensive management training on HR initiatives. JSM Appointments offers advice and assistance with the development and implementation of a range of initiatives, HR policies, processes and psychometric tests aligned to your business objectives with a particular focus on the professional engineer, engineering employment and the engineering career.

 

Our cost effective and flexible approach makes us the ideal choice for small to medium companies that are ready to embark on a new growth phase requiring the implementation of a human resources framework, those seeking to enhance existing policies and processes and even those who prefer to outsource the HR function and tasks such as psychometric tests.

 

JSM Appointments also offers independent facilitation for workshops such as business planning, change management or problem solving.

 

In short we are small enough to provide a highly personalised service, but offer the combined knowledge and experience of our network of HR professionals specialising in the various phases of the Employment Lifecycle:

Sourcing, Referral and Retention Strategies.

 

The success of an organisation can be linked directly to the skills and competencies of its workforce. It is critical when offering engineering jobs to attract and retain a professional engineer with appropriate skills and who are passionate about your organisation. JSM Appointments will work with you to ensure that your organisation is very clear on its skills requirements, its culture fit and the value of the services it requires. We can help your business improve its ability to become an employer of choice to attract the best skills that the engineering employment market offers, and consequently attain a competitive edge.

 

Organisational Design

 

Organisational design is about individuals having a clear understanding of both the organisation’s business objectives and values. A professional engineer is more motivated and committed when he or she can draw a direct link between their engineering career and the business objectives. Through a process of job analysis and design, we are able to support you in identifying the outputs required of each individual to support the company’s strategy and objectives. This process clearly defines both the what (outputs) as well as the how (behaviours).

 

Performance Management

 

Research has proven that consistent feedback is essential towards shaping an individual’s behaviour and performance. The performance management process entails the identification and regular assessment of a professional engineer against Key Performance Indicators. Providing open and constructive feedback is the vehicle to effectively align employees to organisational values and objectives. The performance management process is equally important in identifying and nurturing the high performing engineering professionals that assist to make the company successful.

 

Performance management is essentially a two-pronged approach in that it is also important to have associated processes to manage poor performance and unacceptable behaviour in the workplace. This is the first step towards ensuring that every effort is made to assist your staff to perform at the required standards and behave in accordance with your company’s values, rather than making the often too hasty decision of terminating their services. A successful performance improvement and conduct process is a win-win outcome for all parties particularly if the investment in training and knowledge transfer is taken into consideration.

 

Management of Absenteeism.

 

Unplanned absences of staff can be a very costly affair for any organisation. Our HR consulting services assist with identifying reasons for poor attendance and facilitating the implementation of strategies and processes to deal with unplanned performance to promote both productivity and morale in the workplace.

 

Talent Management and Mentoring

 

Talent management is about sustainability of high achievers in the workforce as a key ingredient towards the success of an organisation. Identifying high achievers and providing appropriate mentorship for engineering professionals to leverage off their strengths and address their development needs, will provide your organisation with a platform to select suitable individuals for key roles to sustain the business.

 

Management Training and Development

 

People management is arguably the most complex part of a manager’s role. Understanding an organisation’s HR policies and processes enables managers of engineering professionals to make decisions on staff issues, but managers are often not able to apply this knowledge to achieve outcomes that will meet the needs of both the staff member and the organisation. Our HR consulting services provide training and coaching to help managers the professional engineer to build their knowledge and confidence in decision making, delegating, providing feedback, engineering career and other people management skills which will make them more effective in the workplace and ultimately strengthen relationships between staff and management.

 

Change Management Facilitation.

 

One certainty in our corporate world is the constant need for change. Change does not happen on its own, but has to be effected through the workforce. It is therefore a given that change is only successful if staff understand the reasons for change, the requirements of change, the benefits of the change particularly for themselves and for them to embrace that change.

 

JSM Appointments can provide HR consulting services and psychometric tests to assist with the development and implementation of a sustainable program that will:

 

• Identify the required change
• Identify individuals who could champion the change
• Communicate to the workforce the need for change
• Imbed the change in the organisation

 

Equal Employment Opportunity Compliance.

 

Equal Employment Opportunities (EEO) compliance is a legislative requirement for organisations in Australia, and it is essential for your employees to understand what that means in terms of behaving lawfully in the workplace. JSM Appointments can provide assistance in developing EEO policy statements as well as procedures for the resolution of EEO complaints such as discrimination or harassment. We can run or facilitate training sessions on EEO compliance to ensure that the EEO contact officers appointed to support your compliance framework understand their responsibilities in representing your organisation when managing EEO complaints.

 

Psychometric Tests

 

At JSM Appointments our preferred methodology is to offer our HR expertise and access to advanced psychometric tests and assessment tools such as Harrison Assessments™. Our goal is to deliver an effective engineering recruitment and HR management solution that not only attracts quality engineering professionals but also recognises and supports the effort required to retain key skills.
