Perhaps the most predictable and costly problems in the future will be caused by the lack of awareness of and compliance with laws and regulations that govern the business world today. From recruitment through termination, the employee is protected by  law - and rightfully so. But, how does the employer who simply wants to do what s/he is good at remain fair, honest and within the law? This question may decide the fate of many organizations in the future.

IDI can ensure that leaders, managers and employees all remain absolutely current with pertinent regulations and requirements. Firstly, IDI offers a full spectrum of assessment services to identify all applicable laws and regulations, particular to the specific organization. Teamed with organizational leaders, IDI then plans strategies for compliance. Following is a sample of service elements:

• General Human Resource Audits

• Compliance Program Assessments
• Leadership Effectiveness Evaluations
• Training Needs Assessments
• Team Effectiveness Questionnaires

Staying current with all of the regulations and requirements related to human resources can often be a full-time job. Many small and even large businesses are not able to support the cost of up-to-date personnel reference materials.

This could jeopardize compliance and might lead to costly penalties and fines. IDI offers access to all current laws, regulations and developments in the field. Organizations are given legal guidance and recommendations concerning but not limited to:

• Hiring, Firing  Procedures
• Disciplinary Processes
• EEO/Affirmative Action
• Family Medical Leave Act

The great visionary leaders - people like Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King - have recognized that what makes an organization work, what makes it successful and what leads to "people" success is a unique vision that attracts commitment, vitalizes the organization and inspires the people. There is not a more powerful engine than a vision that leads to a successful future.

A vision, however,  is only helpful in the end if it can be made into reality with a workable and measurable plan, a plan that can help each of us see how to reach the vision.

Formal strategic planning has become an essential part of all organizations, whether small or large. IDI can help organizations realize the importance of the process, ensure its structural integrity and make the plan actually work! IDI team members believe that decisions should always be made in the context of well thought out, flexible plans.
