Human Resources Consulting for San Francisco Bay Area Companies
At Pacific Crest Group, we think about "human resources" in terms of "employee development." Our goal is to create a truly exceptional workforce that adds value to your business as a whole. It comprises all of the fundamental elements of human resources administration—for example, hiring documentation, employee files, and policy handbooks—but goes far beyond them to establish positive, enduring relationships between management and staff that ultimately improve the company's bottom line. Read more about our employee development philosophy.
Our Employee Development services are grouped into three phases that collectively offer a robust and comprehensive solution. We also offer some of the elements within the phases as stand-alone projects, and can create customized solutions for unique situations.
Phase 1: Legal Compliance Review
This initial phase covers all of the HR documentation and processes every business must follow in order to comply with federal and state law. We'll audit your employee records and record-keeping practices, review your compliance with federal posting requirements, and make sure that you have all of the documents necessary for proper, legal intake of new employees and separation of terminating employees. Together, we'll produce an employee handbook that clearly defines the policies and procedures appropriate for your business, while still remaining within the parameters of the law.
Phase 1 is fairly straightforward, and once it's complete you'll have peace of mind from knowing that your business is compliant with basic employment regulations. From this foundation, you'll be able to begin developing your team in a truly meaningful way.
Phase 2: Fundamental Employee Development
The second phase is the basis of an effective performance management program. We begin with a thorough understanding of your organizational structure, job descriptions, and performance review process, and then make recommendations for enhancements. PCG helps you to define clear goals for each employee or job function that support your business' overall goals, thereby eliminating the disconnect that is typical in many workplaces. We'll document the responsibilities of each job, establish compensation standards, and create performance review paperwork and procedures. If your managers and supervisors require training, we'll assist them in gaining the skills necessary to be more effective team leaders. We also provide recruiting services to screen prospective candidates so that your interviewing process is more efficient and effective.
 The benefits of Phase 2 are significant and tangible. Greater visibility into employees' roles and responsibilities improves communication between management and staff, as expectations are far more transparent. Performance reviews become meaningful, instead of frustrating and arbitrary, because they're tied to documented goals. Over time, chaotic workplace environments become healthy and positive, enabling you to retain your best employees and attract new, high caliber people as you grow.

Phase 3: Advanced Employee Development
In order to optimize your business for future growth, it's often useful—if not critical—to go beyond basic HR compliance and performance management. Phase 3 of our Employee Development program covers workforce planning, compensation and benefits strategic planning, and personalized management coaching. These forward-looking services are designed to complement plans for expanding a practice, ensuring that your staff and management are ready to make a larger organization truly successful.
In addition, PCG can support you directly with a number of employee relations services. As an outsourced HR Director, we'll be available to counsel your team and provide objective advice. We can also handle delicate matters, such as salary negotiations and terminations. In order to reduce additional workload on your hiring managers, PCG can manage your recruiting process and all of the initial legwork of screening candidates.
Please contact us to discuss your employee development needs and arrange an initial meeting. You can also read more about the stand-alone projects we undertake, and about our employee development philosophy, the foundation of our approach to building strong businesses.
