HUMAN RESOURCES STUDIES

People are the key resource in any local government organization, and often constitute 75% or more of a municipal operating budget. Therefore, the need to motivate, develop and compensate employees fairly and equitably is a top priority. The PAR Group has assisted over 150 local governments in evaluating and analyzing their human resource practices and programs. To ensure that an organization pays competitive wages and benefits, we conduct surveys of comparable agencies or communities, administer job analysis questionnaires that are field verified, and develop a final report recommending a point-based pay and classification system that can be used effectively for labor negotiations and budget decisions. We can also provide assistance in the following areas:

• Personnel Manual Development
• Development of Job Descriptions
• Development of Employee Performance Evaluation Processes
• Training in Administration of Employee Performance Evaluation Processes
