MEA HR Administration & Consulting

How much can you do by yourself? MEA can't answer that question for you, but we can help you by doing those HR projects and tasks that you don't have the time or the resources to do. Whether your organization is big or small, you are probably faced with important or critical HR tasks that you just can't get to and you need to outsource to a reliable, easy-to-work-with and cost-effective resource. You can count on MEA.

MEA has a team of HR professionals with decades of experience in their field, some as HR generalists and others as specialists in particular areas of HR. We work with you to get a clear idea of your needs and then provide you with a project proposal and scope of work. We tailor our work to the specific level and needs of your company. MEA members benefit from fees that are considerably less than what they might pay elsewhere for comparable quality and experience.

Services included in this area are:

HR Compliance Assessments
An MEA HR expert conducts a comprehensive assessment of how well your organization measures up to relevant regulations and accepted business practices in Human Resources. The HR Compliance Assessment measures your company's degree of compliance with all state and federal regulations. It is a barometer giving you early warning of potential trouble spots. It also gives you recommendations and suggested changes to bring you into compliance.

Affirmative Action Plans
Many employers struggle with the time consuming effort and complexity involved in writing and maintaining a current and compliant Affirmative Action Plan. MEA experts can help you by reviewing or writing your Affirmative Action Plan. Our AAP services comply with all federal OFCCP regulations and retain your information from year to year to ensure your plan's compliance and accuracy.

Employee Information and Policy Manuals
Traditionally known as employee handbooks, employee manuals provide a vital element of communication between you and your employees. Not only do your manuals provide a written record of the many aspects of employer/employee responsibilities and interactions, they also act as a benchmark for managing workplace behavior.

MEA makes your task easier by producing clear, concise manuals that meet regulatory needs and your own policy needs as an employer. It helps you provide your employees with all the information necessary to maintain a good working relationship. MEA is available to review your current manuals or develop new manuals. Our experts can also provide sample policies or help you develop and write policies for unique company situations.

Organizational Development / Employee Relations
When you have management situations that challenge and stump your internal resources MEA can help. Our HR professionals have years of experience in helping companies deal with organizational issues, reporting relationships and human resource planning. We provide objectivity and neutrality as well as experienced insights and suggestions for improving your company's organizational structure and working relationships.

NEW! MEA Recruitment Desk
If you are like many MEA members, you may prefer to outsource the employment process with MEA’s new full time recruiter.

You know how time consuming the process is and how it can easily become sidetracked by other organizational priorities. Why not let MEA do the recruiting for you?

The MEA recruiter will provide any or all of the following steps:

• Identifying competencies
• Posting/Advertising with appropriate sources
• Resume screening/Phone screening
• Interviewing
• Background/Reference checking
• Placement of candidate
