Distinctive Consultancy Services provides HR Compliance Auditing solutions that meet the needs of your organization and also reviews employers’ human resources function to ensure compliance with the latest labor and employment laws and alignment with organizational goals. We provide full-service HR Compliance Audits to assess the employment practices, compliance and human resource functions within an organization. 

HR audits can focus on staffing, regulatory compliance, cost savings, organizational objectives or other human resources issues. Human resources audits should be performed regularly to avoid costly legal disputes. These HR audits and HR assessments are particularly valuable after significant changes in an organization, such as a restructuring, an expansion or a reduction-in-force.

This is an area of specialty for us.

At some point, all organizations either mature or need to rethink their business model, your process, grow, shrink, or change and as we all know, one size does not fit all!

Restructuring and making redundancies can be a difficult process for both employers and employees to go through, even those who are not directly affected. It can affect morale, productivity and take considerable management time and therefore affect the day to day running of the business. We can by leading on the entire restructuring or redundancy process, or through providing you with guidance or resources at a particular stage.

Successful results in business are usually accomplished through teamwork. We provide themed, energizing and result oriented Team building sessions for small and large teams.

Do you lack the time and experience to deal with some or all of your human resources activities? If you do then Outsourcing your HR can be a right move for your company. Distinctive Consultancy Services can help you by taking care of all of your HR requirements that allows you to concentrate on growing your company’s profitability and productivity. We provide a comprehensive range of outsourcing services ranging from payroll and benefits administration through to designing and arranging contracts and hiring, recruitment and training.
