HR Products and Services
Many of our members see GEA as their primary resource for human resources information and support. Whether it’s an answer to an immediate issue or ongoing assistance in support of a long-term initiative, Georgia Employers’ Association consulting staff have the experience and knowledge needed to provide tangible help for your organization. GEA provides free-of-charge telephone support to our members that can include limited legal consultation. Throughout the year, GEA offers workshops, webinars and seminars on a variety of HR topics. But that’s not all – here are a few specific areas where GEA can provide direct support to your organization.
Employee Relations
One of the most effective and valuable tools that GEA offers is an Employee Attitude Survey, conducted on behalf of a member company. An attitude survey can help you to determine how your employees really feel about their supervisors, managers and the company. Conducted by GEA, a third party produces confidential and honest answers to help you understand and improve employees’ efficiency and productivity. GEA works with you to develop questions, then administers the questions to your employees and tabulates the results, helping you to gain an insight and understanding of your employees thoughts and perceptions. GEA will also work with you to develop solutions to problems uncovered in the survey and can provide advice and training as needed.
Another survey offered by GEA is the Employee Engagement and Union Vulnerability Survey.
This review uses the latest research to determine weak spots in your organization and to set up strategies for improvement.
Compliance Reviews & Audits
The tentative economic situation of recent years has made workforce management a major budgetary concern for many employers. Layoffs resulting from the economic downturn have created a new development – disgruntled employees are filing an ever-increasing number of successful claims against employers and are receiving large awards for damages. Now, more than ever, it’s important to make sure that your HR policies are clear and in compliance with federal and state laws and regulations.
A Human Resources Compliance Review can be extremely helpful in setting strategy, achieving goals and providing solid benchmark data to your company. These reviews can also uncover areas that are ripe for improvement and provide opportunities for your organization to find problems before they become major liabilities. GEA conducted reviews also include legal review of by experienced labor and employment attorneys.
GEA can also work with your
company to conduct specific OSHA and Workers Compensation Audits. We
can help with preparation of safety and other employee manuals and can
provide member companies with legal review of Employee Handbooks at a
50% discount to prevailing rates.
