Our consultants will conduct a thorough review of your current HR policies and procedures, providing detailed reports on findings. By focusing on legal compliance we will identify areas where your organization may need to align or exceed market standards, such as salary and benefits.
We can design and create essential HR documentation to support your operations. This includes organization charts, employee handbooks/staff manuals, standardized job descriptions, and offer letters and contracts. It is essential that these documents align with best practices and meet your organization’s specific needs.
To implement HR policies effectively, we can develop and document appropriate processes and procedures. This may include recruitment processes, onboarding procedures, performance appraisal frameworks, offboarding processes, and maintenance of HR records. The goal is always to streamline these processes, enhance efficiency, and ensure compliance with HR policies.
We understand the importance of training and development so, if necessary, we will offer training sessions in English (with Khmer support) to familiarize your team with new HR systems and procedures. This ensures a smooth transition and empowers your staff to effectively utilize the updated HR framework.
