Reed has helped many clients to effectively review existing employees to understand better how they fit into the organization, what can be done to help them grow and to insure they are clear regarding their role and responsibilities. So often as organizations, grow, jobs evolve and are not "updated" to make sure the current employee understands their role. Also, the employee's career goals can be incorporated into the current job but a plan can also be made to help them continue their growth as well. This will lead to excellence.

Capabilities
Reed has worked with multiple clients over periods of time to assist with "Human Resources Assessment and troubleshooting", interviewing, hiring, salary negotiation, orientation, performance review, firing, and retirement. The goal is to insure a long term employee by assessing the roles/positions/job descriptions in advance by looking at the needs of the business, making sure the person in the role understands their responsibilities and duties and the employee is encouraged and supported to have a career development plan. In the case of "bad fits" where the employee and role do not match, Teri can assist with the separation.
Her focus is to coach the business owner or key employee to learn how to administer the processes. She leads the way as a facilitator and teacher of how to manage an expanding/start up/downsizing business
Business Owner (and key employee) Coaching
Often times business owners come upon challenging times with either specific or sometimes sets of employees. Reed has many years of experience in helping to assess then resolve those issues. This can include simply clarifying roles and responsibilities but may also involve other options to resolve the situation. Having a third party though can lend a calming influence and lead to quicker resolution.
Employee Morale and Grievance Resolution
Reed has an excellent track record with her ability to step in to meet with the parties involved in gaining an understanding of the situation then to use her experience in recommending the most effective set of options to resolve the situation. Usually, morale issues are caused by multiple variables and often there are at least several that can be addressed immediately with minimal cost and time. This leads to some improvement right away while the larger issues are worked on to be resolved over time.
Organization, Employee Job Description, Role Definition, Employee Handbook
Many times, businesses evolved from the start up phase to become larger companies. At a point during that process, either job descriptions and other tools are designed and put into place. Reed can provide immediate assessment on what tools are needed or need to be reviewed to help put the company in the most healthy place with regard to human resource management.
