Human Resources Audit

comprehensive HR review of fire, EMS, and police departments


In every organization, there can be dysfunction between leaders and staff. These problems can be effectively resolved, but in some organizations, the perception of problems between leadership, management, and labor eventually gains a life of its own. Sample areas that may be causing dysfunction:

· Lack of a department vision
· Poor to no communication
· Lack of accountability
· Lack of discipline
· Dissatisfaction with the Chief and/or fellow officers
· Feeling disrespected by department or municipal leadership
· Too busy/overworked
· Need for additional career personnel
· Need for additional fire stations
· Existing fire stations are too small
· Non-support for part-time employees
· Lack of meaningful training

Using a variety of tools to uncover dysfunctions in the organization, McGrath can recommend a management training program that will create a valued "we're all in this together" culture. In fact, McGrath offers a wide range of human resource services.
