Here are a few signs that it might be time to bring in HR Annie for external employee relations support:

• Inexperienced leaders or managers are trying to tackle a tricky issue.
• An employee has made an official claim or concern that might present a liability.
• You feel like you’re dealing with the same kinds of issues over and over.
• A communication breakdown is keeping a situation from improving.
• You’re considering separating an employee without having tried to remedy the situation.
• An employee has asked for a third party or witness, and you don’t have one.

We strongly recommend bringing us in early to help avoid these situations altogether. We can help you build great systems and effective training that create a shared understanding across your team.

HR Annie’s employee relations consultants start by reviewing escalated employee situations. Then, they help determine whether we’re best suited to investigate or whether an attorney should be consulted.

Some workplace investigations can be fairly quick and often lead to us supporting you in resolving communication issues. Others can also be complex, involving many people and a range of possible outcomes.

When in doubt, call us for an initial consult.(opens in new tab)

Yes, employee relations support is available at every HR Annie service level.

For ongoing employee relations situations, your HR Annie consultant may ask you to move off our HR On-Demand Service Level and onto a higher service level so we can get to the real root of the issue.
