NRG HR Consulting

NRG HR offers an array of human resources, payroll and business services to small and middle-market companies. Our focus on this segment of businesses allows us to provide exclusive time and attention to those companies that might not otherwise have access to high-end Human Resources expertise. Or, maybe the Human Resources function is only just now being developed and advice is needed about HR department structure and configuration for optimal efficiency and results. Whatever the status of Human Resources in your company or portfolio firm, NRG HR can assist in making it more robust and influential. And that's a promise we make to our clients.

In today's business environment Human Resources are no longer seen as the ‘catch-all’ area for a variety of administrative functions that did not seem to fit anywhere in the organization, or that no one wanted to do. Gone are the days when Human Resources was considered ‘touchy-feely’ and produced few tangible results outside of a summer picnic or holiday party. The Human Resources function of today's business has grown and evolved to become a viable senior partner to companies, providing critical guidance and insight on such diverse matters as strategic planning, management of knowledge workers, compensation, recruiting, employee relations and retention, organizational development and change management, employee benefits, performance management (human and corporate), avoiding preventable lawsuits, and much more.

Human Resources today are not for the faint of heart. This is a tough profession where experience and maturity understand the balance between employee welfare and business expediency. Today, the art of managing a workforce through viable Human Resources practices is considerably more pragmatic, more sophisticated, and clearly more businesslike than it was even ten years ago.

No matter what your issue or concern, NRG HR can help make the difference. Contact us - we will be glad to schedule an initial no obligation consultation.

NRG HR Consulting and Private Equity firms
(pre/post-deal close)
NRG HR understands the challenges facing private equity firms with due diligence and post-close restructuring of portfolio companies. Redesigning a company can be challenging under the best of circumstances and becomes even more so when a founder, partners or board of directors decide to sell the company to a private equity firm. The degree of post-close success will depend on a number of human factors including: Employee length of service; employee attachment to previous owner/partner; whether or not new C-level executives are brought on board; the preservation of culture/traditions; employee retention versus lay-off (and the resulting ‘who stays/who goes’ selection process); and much more.

NRG HR can be a vital and strategic partner to private equity firms before the deal closes by conducting Human Resources due diligence which includes an audit of current HR practices; a review of regulatory and compliance matters; potential HR liability in the areas of EEOC violations, worker's compensation claims/risk; outlining a post-close employee communication strategy, as well as developing a cultural road map for difficult post-close decisions such as a reduction in force. While never easy, these issues can be managed in a professional yet sensitive manner which will allow those remaining employees to better cope with changes and avoid unintentional productivity sabotage.

In addition, we also have access to low cost, high quality solutions to payroll and employee benefits that can potentially save thousands of dollars for your portfolio firms.
