how Gina works…

Once you or a team member contacts Gina, she will set up a time for an one hour phone call, virtual meeting or in-person meeting – depends on the location of your business. She will ask you a lot of questions about the state of your current company. Where you have been and where you want to go. All information that you share will be kept in strict confidence. Gina works with several companies in the same industries and she will not reveal any information that could compromise your relationship or others. She will ask you to describe the challenges of your organization and you personally. She will also ask what is going well. She will ask you what you believe the possible solutions could be and what the ideal outcome would be.

She will answer any questions about the services that you have questions about. If both parties agree that it could be a potential fit, Gina will make a plan for a follow up call to talk about her assessment of how she or her partners could help. She will provide you with a couple of options for next steps. Typically clients sign a one year agreement with the option to renew annually. The contract options and the length depend on the level of expertise needed and type of work requested. The commitment is on both ends.

If she believes she is unable to help, she may make recommendations for other companies or consultants to be contacted. This will not happen without your prior consent.

If you choose to engage with Gina, listed below are some possible next steps. Do not worry if you do not have the documents, this may be the reason you need assistance. Plus, not all documents will need to be provided because it depends on your needs and what you need Gina to do. The list below is to give you an overview of possible places to start.

• A review of all your policies and procedures when it comes to HR/employment matters.
• HR Compliance Audit, including an on-site review, if feasible, to check for all required state and federally required documents (examples: posters, I-9 forms, benefit enrollment forms)
• Succession plan for all management and key contributor roles
• Review of employee files
• Copies of recent job offer letters, any recent termination documents, and job descriptions.

There are ways to document concerns, conversations and plans for improvement when there is an issue with an employee. Gina is very thorough in this area – she has helped many organizations win unemployment appeals because of the documentation process. If she is representing your HR, you can be assured the documentation will be solid and provide you the best scenario to win when it is warranted).
