Organizations
want to operate efficiently to ensure resources are effectively employed and
customers' needs are being met. As organizations evolve and develop, new
strategies and systems are considered for organizing corporate functions and
human resources. HarGroup has assisted organizations by examining
operations and functions and proposing practical solutions for organizing
and employing resources.

Municipal Services Review
- A Municipality commissioned a
review of services provided by one of its divisions. The division had
gone through various changes that had affected its mandate and the types
of services provided. A review of stakeholder needs was undertaken using
focus groups and executive interviews to determine how the division might
better address its mandate and identify what services and structures were
required to attend to the needs of stakeholders.
§
Organizational Review -
A distribution company with
over 100 employees in three locations across western Canada had grown
beyond the effectiveness of its original human resource structures and
systems. HarGroup was engaged to recommend an effective organizational
structure and functions and create a position description, performance
measurement and compensation systems.
§
