Why OA? | Opportunity Abounds

Why do businesses need HR Consulting?

Small businesses often struggle with a variety of HR challenges that can have a negative impact on their productivity, profitability, and reputation.

We often see small businesses do these things on their own, often feeling overwhelmed and opening themselves up to unnecessary risk:

Recruiting: finding and retaining qualified talent
Onboarding & Retention: hiring and retaining the right talent makes a difference to your employees!
Culture: maintaining a positive and inclusive work culture
Compliance: ensuring compliance with labor laws and regulations
Performance Management
Employee relations issues and escalation
Succession planning and career development

To overcome these challenges, Opportunity Abounds (OA) provides expertise, resources, and the support needed to optimize HR functions and processes. It can also help businesses gain a competitive edge by enhancing their employer brand, employee engagement, customer satisfaction, and innovation.

How do businesses choose an HR Consultant?

When choosing an HR Consultant, or Consulting Firm, consider WHO you want to work with:

Experience matters: do they know your industry? What are their credentials?
What is their approach to problem solving, compliance, teamwork?
Are their fees within your budget? How do you know if you're getting your money's worth?
Referrals say a lot (no pun intended)! Are there other companies that would recommend the work they do? How much they helped (i.e. filled roles, found cost savings, brought them into compliance, helped streamline their work, etc.).

Before you hire OA as your consultant, be ready to share your ideas, goals, and budget with us--we want this to be successful for you! Be prepared to be vulnerable: share your soft spots, areas of concern, and any other areas that you think would be important to pull the curtain back on so we can develop the right game plan to help you.

You have a business to run. Allow OA to come along side you and solve the problems that need solving, that will allow you to keep focusing on what makes your business run: your employees.
