Performance
Build a stronger team
If you’re growing fast, you need a highly motivated team that’s firing on all cylinders.
An underperforming team is a drag on growth. Lack of morale can lead to costly turnover. And productivity issues don’t go away when you get bigger — they just scale.
Sovran HR has proven solutions that improve employee performance, reduce turnover, and make leadership teams more effective. Here’s how we can help:
Pre-Hiring Assessments
To hire the right person for the job, you need to know who you’re hiring.
Resumes, references, and interviews will only tell you part of the story. A good pre-hiring tool, in the hands of someone who knows how to use it, will tell you the rest.
Sovran HR is an authorized provider of PXT Select, an industry-leading pre-hiring assessment with a 30-year track record of success. PXT Select helps you understand a candidate’s personality and character traits. It gives you a clear picture of their strengths and weaknesses, and lets you match people to the roles they’re best suited for.
There are no crystal balls in HR. But a proven pre-hiring tool, expertly administered, is the next best thing!
Pre-Screening and Background Checks
You can teach skills — but not character.
For this reason, you need to know about a candidate’s work-related values before you hire them.
Sovran HR uses the Step One Survey to provide insight into a person’s work ethic, reliability, and integrity. This screening tool will also uncover red flags: a history of employment problems, or a propensity for risky behaviors like substance abuse and theft. In addition, we can perform full background checks on candidates when necessary.
Pre-screening is the key to hiring trustworthy, dependable people. It also reduces costly hiring mistakes, employee theft and fraud, and turnover.

Onboarding
Onboarding has several objectives. You want new hires to get up to speed quickly. You also want to set the right tone for their tenure at your company. And, of course, you want to make them feel welcome!
Sovran HR will show you how to build an onboarding program that accomplishes this. You’ll be able to give your new hire a seamless start, and set up an orientation and training program that turns them into a productive member of the team as soon as possible.
We can also help you develop an employee handbook that is informative and engaging: one that gives your new employee all the background knowledge they need in a concise, easy-to-digest format.
In addition, we can work with you to create 30-60-90 day plans for all new hires. This will help keep them on track, and help you diagnose and address performance issues early on, before they can take root.

Performance
Everyone says that they want a team of high performers. But what does that actually mean? And how can you tell if your employees are headed in the right direction?
Sovran HR can work with you to develop a clear set of standards and expectations for your teams, and to implement a comprehensive, data-driven system that allows you to measure performance accurately.
If you have struggling employees, we can set up realistic and highly effective improvement programs to help them turn things around. We can also partner with your HR team to create training and cross-training programs for your employees, making continuous improvement a part of your company culture.

Motivation and Retention
If you want to avoid costly turnover (and a never-ending cycle of hiring), you need to improve your retention numbers.
The best way to do this is to make sure that your team is motivated, engaged, and fulfilled.
Sovran HR offers safe, anonymous engagement surveys that show you what your employees are really thinking.
If problem areas are detected, we can help you implement motivational programs to improve morale and engagement — and address the root causes of employee dissatisfaction in a fair and transparent way.

Documentation
What’s the best way for an employee to handle a particular task?
In most situations, there’s actually a clear “right answer” to that question. But if your employees don’t know that answer, they’ll end up working at cross-purposes — or worse yet, they’ll do the wrong thing.
This is why good documentation is so critical. It helps clear up confusion, and eliminates waste and duplicated work.
Sovran HR can work with you to document your most important procedures, or even to develop full procedure manuals if that’s what you need. With our company’s strong IT background, we can also show you how to leverage your existing IT infrastructure to automate some parts of the documentation process.
Sovran HR can help you build a stronger team.
