Development
Just as a sports team derives
its strength through the skill, power and organization of its players, so
too does a business organization realize one of its greatest strengths
through its employees.
Through varied assessments, Signet will determine the state of your organization and your
employees - the strengths as well as the opportunities for improvement in
both. Then, working closely
with senior management, Signet
will develop and present recommendations to maximize the potential of your
employees and the organization as a whole.
Properly executed, organizational development will improve
effectiveness, productivity, return on investment and overall employee job
satisfaction.

Interim Human
Resource Staff
Organizations
often find that they need additional Human Resource help with special
projects or to “fill in” when HR employees go on vacation or take a
leave of absence. Newer
organizations may need someone with HR expertise to assist them with
creating a solid HR infrastructure.
Signet
Group provides qualified HR professionals on a full- or part-time,
interim or permanent basis. We
match the credentials of our experts with your specific HR needs.
Whether your organization needs the assistance of an HR generalist,
a recruiter, a trainer, or a benefits specialist, Signet will provide the HR expertise to meet your requirements.

Meeting
Facilitation
Do your meetings cost
money, or make money?
Facilitating a meeting or project means thinking through and managing the
how, what, when, who and why: enabling people to do their best thinking
and make decisions with commitment, passion and enthusiasm.
We work with our clients to design and deliver outstanding meetings through
a process that takes all of the people factors into account. We specialize
in creative problem-solving, idea-generation sessions and decision-making.
Our certified facilitators help you get the results you need from
meetings. In addition to careful pre-planning, meeting process design and
superb facilitation, our facilitators bring years of senior-level business
experience to every session they facilitate.
Signet has identified processes for virtually every meeting type, each
one customizable to fit the exact situation and client requirement. During
meetings, we consciously transfer facilitation skills to your people.
Participants leave our meetings with the results they require, as well as
a clear and effective meeting management model to begin using when they
lead their own teams later.

Government
loves acronyms. These are just
a few that affect Human Resources. Indeed,
government shows no indication of slowing down in its quest to regulate
your obligations to and interactions with employees.
As such, complying with the above laws and more creates a
substantial employer burden while non-compliance poses the potential of
direct liability.
The
best defense an employer can mount is a demonstrated, ongoing effort in
good faith to comply with all legal requirements.
A step in that direction begins with a compliance audit and, if
needed, a corrective action plan to bring noted deficiencies into
compliance.
Signet
can help you navigate the governmental sea of acronyms by performing
compliance audits tailored to your business type and size.
If required, Signet will
also provide recommendations for correction as well as furnish staff for
implementation.
Signet
stands ready to assist you in all such matters.

Change in company
ownership has a deep effect on employees.

Seminars
& Workshops
Signet
provides employers and organizations with the following seminars and
workshops in the employment arena. Our
courses are customized to meet the needs of the specific client and may be
held at the client’s facility or at our Signet
offices.
Interviewing
and Hiring- This workshop discusses the importance of having an
effective recruiting procedure and includes training in employment laws,
interviewing, and selection techniques.
Leadership
and Supervisory Skills- A set of workshops and seminars designed to
cover the essentials for frontline and midlevel management, including
performance appraisals, progressive discipline, terminations, motivating
and challenging employees, communication skills, time management and more!
Diversity-
How can we not only ACCEPT and ENCOURAGE diversity in our organization,
but also USE IT TO MAKE US STRONGER?
Motivating
the Multigenerational Workforce- Many organizations now have
four generations working together, each with separate motivators and
goals. How can we tap into
these differences to help our organization thrive?
Discipline
and Termination- This seminar discusses the legal pitfalls that often
face employers as they deal with problem employees.
Attendees are instructed in applicable labor laws and learn how to
discipline and discharge employees with respect, often reducing the
chances of potential litigation.
Workplace
Safety- This seminar
examines the importance of safety, basic regulatory requirements and the
role of government.
Workplace
Violence- Workplace violence is the #1 cause of death of women in the
workplace; #3 cause of death in men.
This course discusses workplace violence, its causes and
prevention, and effective conflict management.
Harassment-
Our training includes a discussion of all types of discrimination as
protected through Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans
with Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The
majority of our training session, however, focuses on sexual harassment as
sexual discrimination is often the most misunderstood of all of the
prohibited offenses in this arena. Courts have ruled that organizations
who conduct proper harassment training have a better defense in the event
of litigation than organizations that do not.
