HR Consulting Services
Finding the right partners, associates, and support staff is not enough. Truly successful law firms and legal departments make an effort to keep and reward their productive partners, associates, and support staff through their HR policies, procedures, and programs. KG Legal can help you craft them. Best yet, by relying on our HR consulting services, you can remain focused on serving your clients and achieving your financial goals.
HR Audit
A KG Legal functional audit can help you determine how well your human resource systems and procedures, performance standards, and staff competencies are aligned with the mission and strategic plan for growth of your law firm and legal department. The audit focuses on:
• Human Resources Planning: KG Legal helps you determine your firm or department’s human resource needs, strategies, and philosophies.
• Selection and Staffing: Here we identify how candidates are being selected to determine whether they are well matched with the firm or department and the position they’re being hired to fill given their own personal career needs and capabilities.
• Performance Management Systems: This ensures that individual and organizational goals are linked and that everyday tasks support those goals.
• Compensation and Benefits: Our audit can help guarantee compensation and benefits fairness and consistency.
This audit can also help you identify critical service delivery gaps, including:
• Reliability: The ability to perform human resources functions and services dependably and accurately.
• Responsiveness: The willingness to help employees and provide quality service.
• Assurance: The knowledge, courtesy, and ability of the human resources staff to inspire trust and confidence.
Employee Manual
Every law firm or legal department should have an employee manual detailing policies and procedures. Not only does the manual serve as a reference piece on the rules, policies, and procedures for your firm, but by ensuring that every employee has a copy of it and that has read it on his or her start date, it can also serve as a preventative measure against employment litigation. KG Legal can create an employee manual for your firm that is tailored to its unique policies and procedures.
Employee Focus Groups
Here’s the way to find out what your employees are really thinking. Employee surveys and small group focus groups conducted by a third party often yield more honest and, therefore, useful information about your employees’ likes and dislikes and what they would change about your company, their department and their jobs.
