HOW WE HELPED:
Long Life takes care of their team members like family. When the pandemic hit, they took the opportunity to convert all of their sub-contractors to employees. The leadership team wanted to ensure everyone’s compensation structure was competitive, while also looking at showing their appreciation for the team with meaningful benefits beyond their salaries. To further improve employee engagement, they also wanted to close some of the gaps they had around core HR functions such as performance management.
Being cognizant of the client’s budget constraints, the Beacon People Operations Team performed a "mini" HR Audit as a starting point. We focused on providing a detailed compensation analysis of three critical roles at Long Life so they could see how they stacked up against recruitment competitors in this market. We also put together a total rewards survey that Long Life used to get a better understanding of the types of benefits and perks that would bring the most value to their employees.
On the performance management front, we created a comprehensive framework and meeting agenda that enabled Long Life to start implementing a structured performance review process.
Additionally, we interviewed a few of their employees to get their inside scoop on what the company culture was like at Long Life and where they felt things could potentially be improved.
