I’m a very small company, do I even need Human Resources?

No matter what size your company; you need HR expertise to effectively manage your staff in today’s volatile marketplace. Whether it is employment law, growing pains or downsizing, getting HR expertise protects your company. All it takes is one disgruntled employee to file a claim and it can cost you thousands of dollars. But-you may not need a full-time person; a qualified HR consultant can make senior level help affordable.

Riley Wynn is not the largest HR Consulting firm I’ve come across; why wouldn’t I be better off going with one of the bigger local or even national agencies?

It’s true that we’re not a large corporation, but we believe this is an advantage to us and our clients. It’s all about personal service, not global (or even local) domination. We’re independent and privately owned, therefore able to react quickly to our clients needs. Additionally, our understanding of the health care market is second to none.

We already have a HR person, why would we need you?

Your HR person can be fantastic on many levels, yet still benefit from an independent HR Consultant for any number of reasons. We can provide objectivity, help create a strategic HR plan, offer assistance on complex projects, or augment the existing HR team. Our experience and background allow us to hit the ground running.

How can I justify the cost of hiring a Riley Wynn Consultant?

Every business spends money on its people-the question is whether that money is spent wisely. Some of the ways to guarantee a return on your investment are:

Can you provide me with legal advice?

No. We are not lawyers (our lawyers told us to say this). We are Human Resources folks and can provide practical, real life advice on how to handle employee and work place issues. Besides, we’re much less expensive than lawyers. If we think you may need a lawyer, we will let you know and provide assistance in finding one in your area. It will always be your decision to seek legal counsel.

Why can’t I just use the Internet to find the HR answers I need?

Actually, it’s common for managers to use the Web to try to find answers to their HR questions. For example, a simple query of “FMLA” on popular Web search engines will return 107,000 results! Sorting through and deciphering the material takes valuable time away from your core business and then you must decide if the advice is applicable to your company’s situation. Don’t run the risk of making a wrong decision. Your time is extremely important and better spent running your business, not surfing the Web.

Can all my employees in my company call you?

Our service is designed for the management of a company who is responsible for dealing with HR issues.

What should I expect from Riley Wynn?

To be treated as an individual and an important one at that. To be provided with honest feedback and quality advice in plain English. To get the sort of service we would want if we needed help with HR concerns. Our values define the way we do business-with Respect, Honesty and Passion. You might ask is it even possible to be passionate about HR? Well, we think so and we think you’ll find it makes a difference.
