From on-site recruiting assistance to sophisticated 360-feedback analysis, The Chatfield Group has the depth and breadth in HR capabilities to add value to all types of organizations. Typically, our HR-related engagements tend to fall into seven main areas:

Strategic HR Planning

With our strong foundations in Human Resource management, Organizational Development and Strategic Compensation, The Chatfield Group is uniquely positioned to guide your organization through the HR strategic-planning process. As an “outside facilitator,” we have helped many clients effectively link their business strategies to compensation and reward systems that deliver measurable results. What’s more, we can help you identify the competencies and succession plans required for future growth.

Individual and Team Assessment

As specialists in executive development, we help clients select the right assessment tools and apply them through individual coaching, team interventions, or large-group implementations.

Drawing from our in-depth knowledge of industry best practices, we can develop a customized assessment utilizing traditional paper methods or computerized distribution (via disks, the Internet, or intranet). In addition, we can apply assessment tools such as Team Excellence, Interpersonal Impact, Myers-Briggs, or DiSC to address an assessment objective.

At The Chatfield Group, we have extensive, first-hand knowledge and experience with leading assessment tools. What’s more, our consultants are certified by such well-known suppliers of training and development resources such as Lominger, PDI, DDI, Benchmarks™, Learning Profiles, HRD Press, Inscape, and MBTI.

Training Workshops

Today, highly valued employees want more than a paycheck; they’re demanding opportunities for professional development as well as new business knowledge. By teaming with The Chatfield Group, you can build and manage a truly rewarding “corporate university” for your organization.

Our highly trained consultants can conduct reliable needs assessments, develop effective training courses, and serve as your training faculty or outside facilitator. During recent engagements, for example, we have delivered productive workshops on a number of diverse topics including:

  • Behavioral Selection Interviewing
  • Leadership
  • Diversity
  • Sexual Harassment
  • Internal Consulting Skills
  • Time Management
  • Managing Change
  • Conducting Performance Appraisals
  • Train the Trainer
  • Strengthening Presentation Skills
  • One-on-One & Team Coaching

Interim HR Management

If your HR management is in transition, call on us for interim HR direction. We frequently serve as “Interim HR Directors,” enabling clients to bridge gaps during employee leaves of absence or position vacancies. Such interim assignments can extend for a number of months and range from one or two days per week to full-time.

In recent years, for example, our consultants have effectively worn a number of temporary hats, including “Acting” Director of HR, Director of Compensation and Benefits, Director of Staffing and Development, and Manager of Employment.

What’s more, we can serve as adjunct members of your staff, providing needed support when your existing staff is overtaxed with current demands. In recent years, for example, HR “swat teams” from The Chatfield Group have helped clients deal more effectively with major staff expansions as well as merger and downsizing situations.

Recruitment Services

Clients of The Chatfield Group also turn to us for reliable, specialized recruitment services when their retained search, contingency recruiting, and Internet sourcing activities are failing to produce desired results. For example, we can provide targeted candidate sourcing and interviewing services under a tailored pricing structure that delivers significant cost savings.

Performance Management

Consultants from The Chatfield Group can help an organization create valuable linkages between line-of-business requirements and the drivers of employee success. We can help a client implement an improved performance appraisal process, diagnose performance problems, and design reward programs that will strengthen your ability to achieve business goals.

Strategic Compensation

The Chatfield Group frequently helps clients align their strategic compensation and benefit plans with business and shareholder expectations. Adopting a practitioner's approach to such engagements, our consultants provide expert guidance and direction designed to deliver practical, cost-effective solutions to client needs.

In the area of Strategic Compensation, our projects will typically include:

  • Competitive Pay Profiles
  • Market-Driven Base-Pay Structures
  • Performance-Driven Salary-Evaluation Processes
  • Alternative (non-cash) Compensation Plans
  • Short- and Long-Term Management and Sales-Incentive Plans
  • Performance Measures
  • Award and Recognition Programs
  • Compensation Training for Managers
