Human Resources Consulting — scalable to your organization's needs

Recognizing the importance of human resources within an organization may be simple enough. But creating an effective HR function and a diverse and inclusive organization is anything but easy. Effective HR starts with asking critical questions:

Are our HR strategies aligned with our overall business goals?
Is our human resources department staffed appropriately?
Do our HR people have the necessary experience and skills to meet the organization's needs?
Do we have the necessary processes in place to maximize performance management, training, recruitment and compliance?

Gallagher's HR Consulting team works with you from creating an impactful HR strategic vision to becoming an extension of your team for HR needs. Our HR consulting solutions are designed to scale to meet your HR needs for better organizational wellbeing.

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) consulting

When organizations embrace workplace diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), they demonstrate through their policies and actions that they appreciate and value differences including race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion, ability, sexual orientation, education, personality, skill sets and experiences.

Forward thinking organizations recognize the benefits of attracting and retaining a diverse workforce — embracing the unique talents, perspective and ideas of all employees. It's just as important to protect your successful business from the risk of failing to treat prospective and current employees equally. Failing to do so could put your organization's financial strength and reputation at risk. .

HR compliance audit

Gallagher conducts a Human Resources Audit to ensure that clients do not overlook important compliance and legal issues and that the department addresses all functions of human resources. Typical areas of review range from general human resources administration, recruiting, onboarding and employment practices, equal opportunity practices, training and development, employee communication, performance management, employee relations, policies and procedures, payroll administration, and compensation and benefit administration, among others.

We ensure alignment with your organizational culture, objectives, as well as legal compliance. You can take comfort in knowing that you and your employees are aware of your policies and are in compliance with current laws.

Job role, position and job description creation and review

Attracting the right talent starts with having job roles, position and job description clearly reflect how the role will support the organization. The Gallagher HR Consulting team will assess your current job descriptions, align the roles and position's to today's markets and create job descriptions that are compliant and will help attract the right talent.
