Insurance Brokerage Services

We have several years experience designing and implementing insurance programs for small to large businesses; saving over $2 million dollars to date for companies through our assessment and analysis process.

We start with a complimentary assessment of your existing benefit programs, the goals you wish to accomplish through your benefit plan, strategic planning initiatives and company culture. Our assessment provides you with preliminary recommendations to help you attract and retain the best possible talent; while also seeking lower cost alternatives and additional low or no cost fringe benefits to enhance your existing benefit plan.

We have twenty years HR experience working and administering insurance programs and understand the view from the other sides of the desk. We know how time consuming the benefit administrative process can be, the expense associated with benefit programs and how vital employee communications are to morale, cost control and employee retention. We also understand the complex legal requirements necessary with any benefit program administration. We are your business partner, assisting with the entire process.

We are committed to client service, coupled with integrity and a work ethic unsurpassed in the industry. A proven track record in providing clients with the best options available on the market today speaks for itself.

As the broker for all your insurance lines, we are able to bundle our HR services and provide an initial human resources assessment, legal compliance, handbooks, policy development and our HR Hotline service at no additional cost. Contact us for more information and ask about our Small Business Bundled Services (SBBS).

Background Checks/Drug Screening

Whether you are hiring an employee, nanny, pet sitter or home health care worker you should know who is in your workplace and your home. We provide full service background screenings as well as drug testing services. Our background checks cover both domestic and international workers including Social Security Verification, Sex Offender Registry, DMV reports, and Federal, State and Local criminal checks. Most results are back within 24 to 72 hours.

Drug screenings are conducted in your local city and include multiple drug panels as well as hair, saliva and urine testing.

Compensation Analysis & Design

An important key to attracting and retaining talent is to ensure that you are paying employees fairly and competitively. Through our compensation analysis process, we help you determine key positions, market values, competitor data and your desired position in the marketplace. At your request we also review job descriptions and conduct an FLSA audit to ensure that your company is in compliance with all state and federal wage and hour regulations.

Executive compensation is receiving more and more attention in the marketplace. Even the federal government is looking at initiatives to control “corporate greed”. We have consultants who specialize in attracting and retaining your executive team while ensuring compliance with SOX and offering tax incentives and creative programs for both executive and the organization.

Employee Manuals/Handbooks

An employee manual and handbook are essential to fully orient new and existing employees in your company culture, policies and procedures while ensuring a safe and productive work environment. Handbooks can also "sell" the benefits you offer to employees. Employee manuals and handbooks though, can be a legal land mine if not written properly to reflect state and federal law. We customize a legally compliant employee manual and handbook that considers your company culture, tone of message and the goals you wish to achieve through the development of policies and procedures.

Employee Relations/Investigations/Terminations

Even the best companies may have employee allegations of sexual harassment or hostile work environment conditions. If these issues are not investigated thoroughly and addressed in a timely manner, your company may suffer more than poor morale. An employee who files an EEOC charge opens your work site up to an onsite investigation, document review, and possible litigation which can run in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and result in lost productivity. Investigations may be best handled by a neutral party to ensure confidentiality and an objective resolution. We conduct all investigations, obtain statements, and make recommendations for further action and policy reform.

HR Hotline Service

After many requests from clients, we developed our HR Hotline Service, ideal for the small to mid-size business that may not have a need for a full-time human resources department or a newly established Nevada business. For a monthly retainer fee, you may contact us to answer HR related questions and provide guidance in employee relation matters.

 

Legal Compliance/Audits

Are you in compliance with your I-9's, medical records and work cards? Are you tracking FMLA time appropriately and keeping all necessary documentation? Have you just started a company in Nevada and need to know applicable state law? We will come to your work site and review your personnel files, I-9 forms, and ensure you are in compliance with federal and state laws.

Legal issues surround the area of human resources. In our litigious society, pro-active measures are the key defense against lawsuits. With a lawsuit averaging over $300,000, just one lawsuit could seriously damage or destroy the small to mid-size business owner. Although we are not a replacement for your legal counsel, we do conduct audits of HR related policies, procedures and government requirements to identify legal risks that may exist within your organization. Our audit recommendations allow you to be pro-active in limiting your company's risk.

Organizational Assessment and Development

HR does not and should not operate in a silo. HR is an integral part of any organization. We take a holistic approach not only focusing on HR related matters, but understanding the vision, mission and values of your organization or helping you develop them. Through strategic management of your organization, we help you set and achieve goals through the use of HR initiatives, policies, procedures, employee benefit programs and compensation strategies.

Payroll Services

Payroll services are outsourced by over 90% of all companies. We provide comprehensive payroll services at competitive prices; as much as 40% less than the competition. Let our payroll experts take the worry and headache out of payroll processing, quarterly tax payments, W-2’s, and 1099 statements with individualized service that can not be matched. Utilize our payroll services and you will be a name, not a number.

Recruiting


We offer full recruiting services including the design of employer of choice campaigns, referral programs, ad design and content, recruiting services including interviews, pre-employment screening and background checks without incurring the high cost of an employment agency or headhunter.

Pre-employment assessments for external placements and management assessments for internal candidates are available online. All assessment tools have been validated and meet strict OFCCP/EEOC testing standards. Assessments provide a competitive edge in the marketplace as evidenced by reduced time to hire, improvement in selection and retention, the ability to identify and support promotion and placement decisions and a reduction in turnover.

We also have two assessment tools specifically designed for the casino and automotive industry through our affiliate the Total Performance Group. Through a quick, 16 question online survey and structured interview guides you can improve your hiring odds by over 50%!

Through our unique approach to recruiting and staffing, we are able to save clients approximately 50% of the cost associated with using staffing agencies or headhunters. We also have access to passive job candidates; those currently employed but who may be willing to leave for other opportunities.

Training Program Development and Delivery

The key to a successful training program is customization. Unlike other consultants who use canned programs designed for mass use, we design training programs around your company culture and employee needs. All training programs begin with a visit to your work site to conduct a detailed training assessment. An assessment ensures that we identify your training objectives, timeline, and budget. Training may be conducted at your work site to control costs and ensure time away from work is kept to a minimum. We understand the needs of a 24/7 business and will conduct training to accommodate all work shifts and days.

Popular training programs we provide include, but are not limited to supervisory skills, communications skills, sexual harassment prevention, performance review and evaluation, human resources 101, legal compliance and employment laws including ADA, FMLA, ADEA, and FLSA, new hire orientation and open enrollment meetings.

Translation Services

Translation services are available for all documents, manuals and handbooks in German, Spanish and English.

Professional Coaching

Professional coaching services may be used in a variety of situations. Perhaps you have an employee who excels on the technical side but improvement is needed in leadership and management skills, or diversity or sensitivity training is a recommended follow up to a harassment investigation. Many times, these services are better served by an independent, third party. Are you seeking help with a career transition plan or need independent guidance in how to best manage workplace issues? We provide one on one professional, career based coaching services as well as outplacement assistance for those subject to layoff or a necessary career change.
