Job Analysis

• Recruitment of the correct candidate
• Formation of competitive compensation
• Individual productivity and employee engagement
• Rationalization of work processes and accountability
• Identification of training needs
• Compliance with labour laws and legislation.

Our experts continuously stay up-to-date of changes in legislation as well as industry best practices to ensure both the processes and resulting job documentation can withstand legal scrutiny and protect our clients, while supporting the pillar of their operations.

Job Description

Job descriptions are the foundation of organizational performance, and serve as key drivers in a variety of HR functions. At Xpress-HR, the development of effective job descriptions is a critical part. Xpress-HR developed job descriptions:
• Define the jobs for performance planning, transfer, promotion, staff planning, career, and disability accommodation purposes

At Xpress-HR, we develop job descriptions that are comprehensive, descriptive, and flexible to enable adaptation to your organization’s changing needs.

Salary & Benefit Analysis & Design

Salary
Our team has expertise developing effective salary programs that increase workplace satisfaction and productivity. We work with organizations to benchmark their existing compensation and wage structures against robust wage survey data to help ensure that employees are paid at or near market value, both geographically and within high demand (high turnover) job titles.

In addition, we assist organizations who believe they may have pay disparity issues between long-tenured staff whose wages may lag behind the market value being offered to newly hired staff. Identifying these issues and recommending solutions that make business sense is our objective. We also benchmark wage and benefit ranges for newly created positions within expanding organizations.

Benefits

A full consultation will help your organization develop effective benefit programs that increase workplace productivity and satisfaction. We work with organizations to take a fresh look at their total benefits offering.

In some cases, we survey the employee population to learn what is valued. We can work with the business to get the best value for the money spent to offer a competitive benefits package to attract and retain key talent (in challenging recruiting times when unemployment rates are low).

Talent Acquisition

Strategic HR Planning

Businesses and organizations are facing new challenges with economy weakness, technology advancements, diversified workforces, skill shortages, and globalization. And if you aren’t strategically planning for the future, you are leaving your organization’s future success to chance.

When Xpress-HR facilitates a strategic planning initiative, you can be sure to have a solid and dependable foundation that will guide meaningful, outcome-based efforts over the course of future operations.

Our Recruitment Program is fully scalable allowing you to modify the engagement of service based on current hiring needs, and can help you to reduce the Cost-Per-Hire of your employees through its unique pricing structure and team support program.

Candidate Selection

Candidate Screening

Xpress-HR Candidate Screening and Profiling Service assists you in targeting the passive job seekers. This service includes the generation of resumes and a concise pre-screening process. Through this service, we will:
• Identify and generate resumes of candidates who match your job requirements
• Conduct all preliminary screening and interviewing via telephone
• Identify experience level, skill level, salary requirements, and level of interest in your company and position
• Develop a profile for each qualified candidate
• Provide each qualified candidate with detailed information regarding your company
• Refer only the candidates appropriate for additional or final interviews

Pre‐Employment Testing

Pre-employment tests are a standardized way of gathering data on candidates during the hiring process. Depending on the type of test being used, pre-employment assessments can provide relevant information on a job applicant's ability to perform in the workplace. Some Employers may have a pre-employment test be a requirement before they interview.

Reasons to use pre-employment testing, includes:
• To accelerate the hiring process: may be used to quickly narrow down the number of applicants to hire, especially if there are a lot of resumes to sort through.
• To test an applicant's skills: pre-employment tests hep see if skills match the requirements within the job description. For example, if an employer is hiring for a copywriter position, they might administer a writing test to find out if your skills match their expectations. An employer may decrease their company's turnover rate if they hire someone who passes a skills test because it shows how an applicant can apply their knowledge.
• To increase the quality of interviews: By gathering sufficient data on applicants, employers can use the results from the test to ask specific questions related to skills and work experience.

Here are some pre-employment tests you can get from Xpress-HR:
• Job knowledge tests
• Integrity tests
• Cognitive ability tests
• Personality tests
• Emotional intelligence tests
• Skills assessment tests
• Physical ability tests

Interviewing

Interviewing employee candidates is a critical element of any hiring process, regardless of the nature of the position. Xpress-HR works with you to develop customized interview guides to ensure that you consistently hire the ‘optimum fit’ candidate that can effectively perform the essential functions of the position. Our customized interview guides aimed at:
• Strategic alignment with the mission, values, and goals of the organization.
• Required level of documentation
• Appropriate level of screening for phased interview processes
• Required pre-interview preparation for interviewers
• Gathering of critical and relevant information
• Coordination and harmonization of interviewers’ roles

Don’t underrate the power and value of your interviews. It could cost your business more than the position is actually worth.

Candidate Orientation

Orientation programs serve as an important element of the recruitment and retention process. Many employers may recognize this and may even categorize their practice of giving new employees a handbook and having required forms completed as an “orientation program.” But at Xpress-HR we know the benefits and value a good orientation program brings to an organization.

The Benefits you get are:
• Reduced Anxiety – Good orientation programs help to reduce anxiety that results from entering into an unknown situation, and help provide guidelines for behavior and conduct so new employees don’t have to experience the stress of guessing.
• Reduced Employee Turnover – Employee turnover increases when employees feel unvalued, or are placed in positions that impede job performance. Good orientation programs show that the organization values the employee and helps provide the tools needed for successful performance.
• Reduced Supervisor Time – The better the initial orientation, the less likely supervisors and co-workers will have to spend time teaching the employee, costing additional production downtime.
Let us invest the time needed to ensure your recruitment efforts pay off, planting the correct seed from the start with effective orientation!

Talent Management

Performance Appraisal Systems Design

Performance appraisal systems are driven by business needs, organizational culture and the system’s integration with other human resource management systems. There is no a “one size fits all” model. Effective Performance appraisal Systems:
• Provide a more objective tool for measuring employees’ success
• Provide a direct line of sight for employees to the strategic goals of the organization
• Improve success rates for reaching overall organizational goals
• Mitigate employment practice-related risks by linking evaluation to employees’ self-validated job descriptions
• Provide measurement for operational/business decisions, i.e., performance rewards, compensation, downsizing, etc.

In addition, an organization’s performance appraisal directly affects employee morale and attitude, thereby determining productivity and ultimately the success of the organization. Xpress-HR designs performance appraisal systems and tools to systematically produce meaningful, measured results for our clients.

Why an Employee Handbook is Significant?
An employee handbook is your best option to communicate employment laws, expectations of the employer, corporate culture, policies and procedures and most importantly it’s the first line of guard in most employee related litigation. Creating an employee handbook is not enough by itself. You must also enforce the policies and procedures in your employee handbook fairly and consistently.
