Tactical

Nearly all payroll, benefits, compliance and employee relations tasks can be more cost effectively outsourced than done in-house. Besides, do you want your staff spending their time on creating government-required reports or processing mindless paperwork? Today's technology has created outsourced solutions that are not only affordable but are accurate and efficient at minimal cost allowing your human resources staff to focus on value-added activities. Let us show you where you can eliminate the minutia while providing your employees increased access to information and services and reduce your costs.  In addition, The Palmer Advantage provides expertise in resolving those troublesome issues such as difficult employee terminations, reductions in force and harassment investigations.

Mergers and Acquisitions

In today's business environment, the ability to acquire and integrate other products and companies is often critical to a successful business strategy.  Having the financial resources necessary to acquire, although important, is not enough.  The last thing an organization wants to do is to spend substantial sums on acquiring a company only to have it fail because they were unable to integrate the business strategy, products or people…leaving them unable to generate the results necessary to succeed. There are many obstacles on the road.  The Palmer Advantage can smooth the road out for you by:

  • Identifying the obstacles
  • Establishing timetables
  • Setting measurable objectives
  • Evaluating organization structures
  • Assessing management and staff skills
  • Developing implementation & communication programs
  • Managing transitions
