HR Audit of JC Grounds

SWOT 

A key strength of the JC is the entrepreneurial operations system (EOS). EOS works on six key business components, namely vision, people, data, issues, process, and traction. Each department holds a weekly meeting with members and their heads. The departmental managers also have their separate weekly meetings to discuss the challenges and way forward of the company. The main weakness of JC is its inability to revise the compensation and benefits structure of its employees. However, the company has an opportunity to adopt a flexible working structure for its employees. The company’s main threats are potential lawsuits by employees who feel that the company is infringing its rights. 

Business Strategy 

The main business strategies of the company are discussed at the executive level of management. The strategies are then discussed at department meetings, including how they will be implemented, who will implement them, and how they will be evaluated (Rao, 2009) . If the department needs to research or make a process to achieve the goals of the companies, it is allowed to seek the services of the company’s primary consultant firm. The lowest level of implementation of the business strategies of the company is the personnel group. 

HR Strategy and Its Alignment with Business Strategy 

In the snow removal and landscaping sector, it is always difficult to hire. For example, this year, the company needed ten laborers, but it could only find five. The company came up with different strategies to increase the number of applicants. For example, the company applied the cash referral programs where any employees who referred an applicant received a $ 40 bonus for each. If the applicant qualified and was absorbed into the company, the bonus would be increased to $ 60. 

Staffing Policies 

The office and management activities include placing ads and selecting an individual who has the skills required for the job. Afterward, an interview is conducted, and the candidates who are running for the position are sent a workplace disc. This workplace disc report shows the level of productivity of the employee as well as his/her effective relationships a work. Based on the workplace report, the candidate is chosen (Rao, 2009) . The selection panel decides on who to select and who to omit from the list at its own discretion. 

Turnover Rates 

The turnover rates of office personal are extremely low. This low turnover rate is attributed to the manner in which the JC hires its employees. For example, the company makes sure that the right kind of candidates is hired based on the workplace disc. Workers who had issues with their previous employers are only allowed in after a long review. 

Compensation Packages 

The company has a well-structured compensation and benefits structured. The company pays 40 % of the health insurance cover, 100 % of the vision and dental cover, and 100 percent of disability insurances. Also, the company pays 401K for employees after spending six months working for it. 

Employee Development Programs 

All employees have 2500.00 per year for the expense associated with continuing education courses (Rao, 2009). The employee must be employed one year and pass with a B or better. Laborers are also required due to job getting a hoisting license, pesticide license. These are company paid and are suggested.
