HR
This is a new function that DB Computer Solutions Limited can offer you. Below is the range of services DBCS HR Function can give your company.
Setting Policies and Procedures:
In the current environment a company can easily oversee what policies and procedures it can implement to protect their workforce, and to ensure that the organisation is a safe and enjoyable place to work in. Such Policies can be vast and can range from a Policy on Holiday Leave to Policies to Internet Usage; such policies are ever changing with the organisation and the current climate we work in.
Features:
• Holiday, Sickness and Lateness, Theft, Internet Usage, Accident Policies etc…
• Communicating such Policies and Procedures to all those concerned
Recruitment and Selection:
Not everybody is an interviewer, and through no fault of their own management may ask the wrong questions and may act incorrectly in the recruitment and selection of potential new employees. The HR Function that DBCS offers can source, screen and interview such candidates, thus freeing up not only huge costs but also valuable managerial time. The HR function can ensure that the recruitment and selection process is followed through correctly at all times thus safeguarding the company. For the initial process of Recruitment and Selection or the whole process of this feature, DBCS facilities can be used.

Induction:
This is the follow up stage from Recruitment and Selection, and is very valuable, as we are all aware entering a new environment can be extremely daunting to any individual. Such an environment may need this person, but may not have the time or resources to acknowledge the individual, thus alienating the person. The HR function can ensure that this period is closely monitored for a set period of time. Induction is also about how the person understands the policy and procedure of any company; the HR function can assist with this role or facilitate it.
Features
• Issuing New Employee(s) with Contracts and Induction Packs
• Giving New Employee(s) Induction Presentation
• Introducing the Employee(s) to the Company and its Policies & Procedures

Disciplinary Issues:
The HR function can guide and instruct managers through the dangers of Disciplinary Procedures. This can be a minefield facing the managers, and it must be dealt with extreme caution and a totally professional approach, again the HR function can assist and guide in this area. A Discipline Issue may just require a Counselling session such as lateness or may require a more severe approach dismissal where gross misconduct is involved such as theft.
Features:
• Investigation and Preparation
• Conducting or Advising Counselling
• Conducting or Advising Verbal Warning
• Conducting or Advising 1st Written Warning
• Conducting or Advising 2nd Written Warning

Employee Satisfaction and Support:
HR is about utilising your most valuable resources, your staff. The best way to do this is to know how they feel and think. The HR function can conduct employee satisfaction surveys, hold workshops and hold one to one meetings. From this the HR function can acquire the knowledge of the feeling out in the workforce and filter such feedback back into management, and draw up plans to cope with those problems, if any exist.
Features:
• Carrying out Employee Surveys
• Chairing Employee Satisfaction Meetings
• Conducting One to One Meetings
• Creating an Open Door Policy
• Facilitating Brown Bag Lunches
Appraisals:
It is vital that all employees know where they are going, what their short term, medium and long-term goals are. It is also vital that all employees are aware of their weaknesses and what management will strive to do to overcome such weaknesses. And it is equally if not more important to inform your staff of their strengths and the goals that they have achieved, and to express praise on them. The HR function can assist your company in tackling such Appraisals, whether they are monetary or performance reviews, probationary, 6 month or annual reviews.
Features:
• Drawing up the Appraisals – probationary, 6mth, etc…
• Instructing Managers on Completing the Appraisal
Consultancy Role:
On far too many occasions an incident may happen at work where management might not think things through and may want harsh and fast action. Such incidents can in the short term solve the problem, but more too often in the long fun can leave the company facing bigger more expensive problems in the long run. The HR Function in DBCS will act as a consultancy role to such incidents. The main thing is not to act harshly, but to step back and view it from all angles.
Features:
• Email Support
• Phone Support
• Call Out Support
Training:
Empowerment is a function of HR; through this DBCS HR Function can facilitate all training needs with the above to managers, which will enable them to deal with everyday challenges more comfortably.
