WOODSTOCK - Finding the right person for the right job is an ongoing challenge for local human resources firms....

People Management Group Inc. (PMG) is also involved in the human resources business, although it devotes its efforts to the executive level of employment, said Cheryl DeCooman, president.

 

"There are about 75 clients who we do ongoing human resources work for," said DeComman.  Many of the firm's clients come form Oxford County but the enterprise's reach extends from Windsor to the Hamilton region.

 

"I've spent a lot of time talking to business leaders and human resources professional throughout Oxford County.  More and more often, business people are acknowledging that their employees truly are the most important asset of their company and they're investing more in effective programs to recruit, retain and recognize the people who work for them." she said.

 

As an example of what the firm does, PMG has helped executive from defunct businesses find work.  As part of that, PMG does "psychometric behavior profiling" on executives-it essentially gives the business information on what positions an individual is suited for.

 

"It's to ensure they (the client) find what they need," said DeCooman.

 

However, PMG does not limit itself to that type pf work alone.  It aims to fill a variety of human resources needs, said DeCooman.  In addition to recruitment, its services include organizational analysis, health and safety programs, pay equity solutions and training.

The size of company PMG works with varies.

 

"Our experience has shown that any company with employee, regardless of size, can benefit from refining their human resources management practices to gain strategic advantage over competitors," said DeCooman.
