Acquire, Deploy, and Retain Talent
Staffing
Acquiring, deploying, and retaining a quality workforce is essential to an organization's effectiveness. Achieving this endeavor involves successfully managing activities such as determining your staffing needs, conducting job analyses, developing and executing recruitment and hiring plans, and implementing employee retention initiatives. Whether you need help with HR planning, job analysis, recruitment, realistic job previews, hiring, employment testing, or employee turnover reduction, BMS has the expertise you need.
Develop the Talent You Need
Training & Leadership Development
Employee performance is the function of many factors but chief among them are  employees' skills, abilities, and competencies. Whether you want to help employees perform their current jobs better or prepare employees for future positions and opportunities, employee training and leadership development programs are critical. Allow BMS to help you identify training and development needs and then develop and deliver high quality training and development programs that are responsive to the unique needs of your organization.
Achieve High Performance Standards
Performance Management
Regardless of its mission, every organization endeavors to achieve its objectives through its employees. If all members of its workforce know, understand, and share the organization's strategic goals, and know and achieve their individual goals, the organization can be highly successful. The probability of success is increased by the presence of a carefully developed and implemented performance management system. Traditional performance review typically involves an employee and a manager examining, at least annually, the employee's duties, competencies and accomplishments. Additionally, it provides an opportunity to develop goals for the coming year and to discuss issues related to the employee's past and future performance. Performance management takes traditional performance evaluation much further. Performance management is the system of maintaining or improving the job performance of employees through the use of performance planning processes, along with coaching, mentoring and providing continuous feedback. Let BMS help your organization develop a performance management system that will produce the results you want.
Reward Employee Contributions to Success
Compensation
A key objective of compensation systems is to maximize the return on an organization’s investment in its people. Achieving that objective requires that the organization design a compensation system that achieves efficiency (e.g., improve performance, increase quality, control labor costs), fairness (e.g., fair treatment, recognition of employee contributions and needs), competitiveness (e.g., pay that is competitive within the market), and compliance (e.g., conformance to Federal and State compensation laws and regulations). From conducting salary surveys to constructing a compensation structure tailored for your organization, BMS can help you ensure your compensation system pays off for everyone.
Achieve Your Goals
Strategic Planning
The strategic planning process is one of the most important management techniques available to organizational leaders. It is the best way to keep the organization's eyes open and focused on the future while assessing current performance. Effective strategic planning requires assessing the direction of your organization, analyze your internal and external environment, determining your mission, vision, and values, and set objectives and goals, and developing action plans. BMS can help you lay out the plan for the future success of your organization.
Plan and Manage Organizational Change
Change Management
Change management is often overlooked in organizations. To increase organizational effectiveness, respond to changes in the market, or respond to legal or regulatory developments, organizations are constantly creating new programs, streamlining procedures, or improving processes. All of these activities lead to organizational change and whether big or small, successful organizational change requires intentional actions and long-term initiatives. From planning, to communication, to execution, BMS can help your organization manage change to achieve your desired outcomes.
