HR Audit
When companies review their HR services an audit is frequently the starting point. Similarly when a company is considering a sale or a merger a detailed review of their HR documentation can save hours of costly legal fees and help get the documentation in order for due diligence.
A Human Resource audit looks at every aspect of HR activity, and all documentation, spanning from recruitment through to alumni and looks at the following areas:
• recruitment
• brand alignment (link to relevant section)
• induction
• remuneration and reward
• engagement
• internal communication (link to social networking)
• training and development
• performance management
• time management and productivity (link to using time profitably)
• motivation
• policies and procedures (including First Aid, Health & Safety, Data Protection and any other legislation relevant to your area of operation)
• redundancies
• termination
• alumni relationships
or can be tailored to examine one particular area of activity.
All HR processes and documentation are reviewed in accordance to ensure compliance with current employment law, that the company is operating best practice and that everything is aligned with the brand. As there are usually changes to employment law each April and October this will check if your documentation and processes are up to date and, where future changes are known about, will identify what changes will be needed.
SFM Consulting knows that one size doesn’t fit all - therefore the audit is scaled to fit your organisation and the detail determined by the number of staff you employ, their roles, the market in which you operate, number of locations etc. The result is an action plan which identifies the relative urgency of all issues using traffic light colour-coding. Completion of the actions can be undertaken by SFM Consulting to a pre-agreed timetable or by your staff or by your staff with assistance and advice from SFM Consulting as required.
