An HR audit from Jaluch provides an expert and comprehensive review of current policies, procedures, practices, compliance with legislation and accepted best practice. The purpose of an audit is to identify the strengths and weaknesses within the company's working practices and to highlight what's missing or needs to be improved - it’s like an in-depth HR health check for your business.
Why might an HR audit be required?
Take a look at your staff turnover, the number of grievance and disciplinary cases, the levels of sickness absence, the overtime levels and the number of Tribunal claims made against the company - these can all indicate potential employee relations issues that can adversely affect the success of the business.
What's covered?
In addition to any relevant business or industry-specific areas, the HR audit covers:
- Recruitment & induction processes
- Benefits & compensation
- Contracts, handbooks & policies
- Performance appraisals & job evaluations
- Training & development programmes
- Communications strategy
- HR strategy
- Exit procedures
An audit can also include an employee opinion survey, which is fantastic for getting real feedback on staff thoughts and feelings about the business and can be used as a tool for generating new ideas.
What are the benefits?
An audit benefits the business by identifying areas of risk and potential issues that may damage employee relations or worse, business reputation. It can be a great starting point for establishing future HR strategy, identifying projects and priorities, critical success areas and time and resource "eaters", and can help to break down the vast area of HR and employment issues into useable information and manageable targets.
