Build the HR infrastructure to support your organization
At HR Elements, we understand that employees are the lifeblood of your organization. Their passion and dedication drive your company’s success, making effective talent management essential from day one.

A LA CARTE OR SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES
HR Elements offers flexible HR outsourcing solutions to meet your specific needs. We provide both à la carte options for individual services and subscription-based plans for ongoing support, including:
HR Compliance
Protect Against Legal, Reputational, and Financial Risks of Improper Practices
It can be difficult for employers to stay on top of the ever-changing federal and state employment laws. The financial, reputational and legal risk can be costly.
We review your employee files, I-9s, handbook, processes, and policies to identify any gaps and make necessary corrections. Our team also provides guidance on best practices to help prevent future compliance issues. We are not the HR police, we are just here to protect your investment and ensure your business operates within legal parameters.
Outplacement
Supporting Exiting Employees Sends the Right Message
A professional resource to help employees transition to their next career shows compassion.
Terminations and lay-offs can be tough for everyone involved, and offering outplacement services can lessen the stress and help exiting workers find new jobs. Our services include resume writing assistance, interview coaching, and job search strategies to support your former employees during their transition. This can improve your company’s reputation and reduce the cost of unemployment claims.
HR Administration

Employee Relations
Improve Employee/Manager Relationships and Performance
Our HR professionals interact directly with your employees, managers, and leadership team, onsite or remotely, to understand opportunities for improved communication and expectations. We strive to create a positive and supportive work environment for your employees.
The goal is to build an engaged and motivated workforce that supports positive employee morale, job satisfaction, and productivity. Nurturing higher employee engagement and retention reduces turnover and fosters a sense of loyalty, building your employer’s brand to attract future talent.
Job Descriptions
The Foundation for Performance, Recruitment and Development
We ensure they clearly outline the duties, responsibilities, qualifications, and expectations, helping both candidates and current employees understand what is required for success. Our team can assist in creating or updating job descriptions so that they accurately reflect current roles and responsibilities.
Job descriptions also help align organizational goals with individual roles, facilitating workforce planning and resource allocation. Additionally, they provide a basis for evaluating employee performance, setting goals, and identifying areas for skill development.
By having well-defined job descriptions, companies can attract the right talent, foster clarity and accountability, and ultimately drive organizational success.
Policies / Handbooks
Having Written Communication to Set Employee Expectations
Communicating company rules and culture is critical to first impressions with a new hire. It lays the foundation of expectations up front and throughout the employees’ work experience with your organization. They communicate fairness and equal treatment in what you expect from your employees and what they can expect from you as their employer.
Have you ever had to discipline or defend a worker’s compensation or legal claim from an employee who said they didn’t know the rules? We can help review and update your policies and handbooks to ensure they are clear, comprehensive, and compliant with current regulations.
Managed Payroll
Streamlined Payroll Management
By outsourcing payroll management to experts, companies can save time and resources that would otherwise be spent on payroll administration.
We allow employers to focus on their core operations while leaving payroll management to professionals.
Our dedicated Payroll Advisors will help process payroll and bonus payouts using your technology based HCM payroll system.
Performance Reviews
Set Your Team Up for Success with Candid and Timely Feedback Practices
Partnering with your leadership team to develop an ongoing process to define success at the strategic and tactical levels keeps all eyes on the ball.
We help you design a feedback structure that encourages ongoing and consistent feedback and improves communication between managers and employees focused on business results and performance. Our approach can be tailored to fit your organization’s culture and goals, ensuring a more effective performance management system.
Counseling and Corrective Action Plan
Conduct a Fair and Objective Investigation to Ensure Transparency
When an employer learns of potential workplace misconduct, such as harassment, discrimination, or fraud, an investigation must follow a fair procedure with an objective investigator before termination of employment.
It is necessary to have an objective, experienced third-party interview, review grievances, and hear disciplinary matters involving specific allegations. We can provide guidance on best practices for conducting thorough and unbiased investigations.
EEO-1 Reporting
A Requirement for Certain Employers
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) requires employers with 100 or more employees and certain federal contractors to complete the annual EEO-1 report.
It’s important because it helps identify potential disparities in employment practices, promotes equal opportunity, and supports fair treatment for all employees, fostering a more inclusive workplace culture.
We’ll be there to help you make sure your plan is accurate and filed properly. Our team can assist in gathering the necessary data and ensuring compliance with reporting requirements.
HR Assessment and M&A Due Diligence
Be Confident You Are Compliant and Understand a Path for Best Practices
We identify compliance and HR practice strengths and strategies for areas of improvement for new clients. We’ll work with you to develop a plan that addresses compliance violations, aligns with your company’s values and objectives, and provides recommendations for becoming a top place to work.
For our M&A clients, the due diligence review is a more comprehensive assessment of the target company’s HR legal and operational aspects to identify potential risks, liabilities, and opportunities associated with the transaction.
Employee Orientation
First Impressions Matter, So Dazzle Your New Hire!
Our team is here to help develop an amazing onboarding and orientation program for your new hire! We’ll make sure your new employee is motivated and excited to be part of your organization.
Our program will boost retention, productivity, and overall job satisfaction and ensure a better understanding of the company culture and expectations. Your team will also benefit from improved dynamics and morale, promoting long-term employee engagement and satisfaction!
Affirmative Action Plans
Stay Compliant and Foster a More Diverse and Inclusive Workplace
Certain federal contractors and subcontractors are required by law to establish an AAP.
A plan is crucial for promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. It outlines specific actions and strategies to actively recruit, retain, and advance underrepresented groups, such as minorities, women, and individuals with disabilities.
Additionally, having a robust affirmative action plan can enhance your company’s reputation, attract top talent, and strengthen relationships with clients and partners who value diversity and social responsibility.
