Compliance Consulting

Our expertise assists clients in managing the individual components of compliance proactively, time effectively and cost efficiently.

By understanding the organization, its operations, and future trends, we will design a program that will not only meet but exceed compliance requirements.

Our systematic approach addresses all statutory requirements and assessment factors. We address everything from employment equity surveys and data analysis to employment systems reviews and employment equity plans. Furthermore, after the compliance review is complete, we can provide clients with the support they need to implement initiatives and monitor change.

Building High Performance Organizations

A change initiative is often driven by either crisis or the need to adjust to new expectations, fiscal constraints, new priorities or demands from clients and stakeholders, changing markets or a wide range of uncontrollable variables.  Whatever is driving your organization’s need to change, PMC can help you structure for success. 

This could mean a complete overhaul of structure, or require only smaller changes with a focus on specific aspects of the organization. Our organization design experts are active listeners and provide advice and solutions tailored to your specific needs. This advice is based on a careful analysis of your organization, its strategic objectives and the pressures that affect organizational performance. Our findings, options and recommendations are presented to management and, as appropriate, to their teams for discussion. Once an option is approved, we help with planning migration to the changed structure. 

As full service consultants, PMC’s specialists will be involved throughout the process. This may involve advising on timing and rate of implementation, developing a communications strategy to keep members of the organization informed of progress and how it will affect them, advising on how new positions can be resourced, and other implications of structural change, such as how the placement of work stations affects the flow of information, for example.

If you’re considering re-designing your organization, call us to find out how we can help make structural change as smooth a process as possible.

Balanced Scorecard Development

By measuring areas such as process performance, market share/penetration, long term learning and skills development, a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) can help you align your operational activities with your overall vision and strategy, and improve internal and external communications. We can help you create and implement a BSC tailored to your particular business objectives and grounded in best practice
