HR Work Archive - Catalina Consultants

Have you considered outsourced HR before? A high functioning human resources team needs many skills, from the administrative right to the strategic. Unfortunately, building an in-house team of this size and scope can be difficult – not to mention costly and time-consuming.

At Catalina Consultants, we give you an alternative to the traditional, in-house HR function. With experts in all aspects of human resources, our outsourced team offers dedicated, on-call advice and business HR strategy without all the costs and hassle of a full-time department.

Why Use an Outsourced or Virtual HR service?

From the outset, we work tirelessly to understand your business and long-term objectives. We then create a custom or bespoke HR solution to fit just that.

Working with our team allows you to:

Access best-practice strategic HR advice whenever and wherever you need it
Identify any people management or HR issues that require action or development
Make sure your employees fully understand the legislative and administrative framework underpinning your workplace
Have experienced HR experts at your disposal who will act as your sounding board on all human resources, recruiting, hiring or workplace culture issues you might have
Develop a high-performance culture across your organisation
Have an Australian HR function on the ground (if you’re based internationally).

Successful organisations usually have one thing in common, which is leadership. They have leaders that actively challenge, support and develop the business – and it’s people.

We can equip your key leaders with the skills they need to engage your employees and drive your business toward its goals. Through action learning and interventions, we’ll help them work through real-world problems, reflect on the results and develop their skills to see improvement.

Our leadership development services include:

Customised leader coaching
Facilitated leader development programs
Action learning and project work
Selecting and onboarding senior appointments
Appraisal, feedback and skills assessment for leaders
Developing and facilitating leadership-focused away-days and workshops
Facilitating, coaching and mentoring teams and individuals.

If your leaders aren’t reaching their full potential, we can also help you make the most of the difficult conversations you need to have.

When your organisation gets performance management right, your business and HR strategies will align, and your people will work together cohesively to reach your objectives.

But finding that stride is harder than it looks – especially when you’ve got dozens of other tasks and projects on your plate.

Fortunately, our employee development experts can help. We’ll create a custom-fit performance management plan that can get you where you need to go, helping you:

Develop a clear business vision to communicate to your employees
Align that vision with transparent, measurable KPIs and objectives that can encourage performance, development and career planning across your whole organisation
Develop an effective performance management program that drives your learning and development programs
Give you a framework for dealing with underperforming employees
Review your existing performance and development processes
Design a suite of complementary processes that modernise and re-energise the way you currently manage performance
Devise effective remuneration and benefit plans that align with your business strategy
Work with you to design innovative performance and incentive plans to complement your remuneration plan.

In short, as your HR partner, we can help you strategically align your performance, reward and people management efforts, so that all employees are working toward the same goals. Contact us today to learn more.
