It is not unusual for companies to overlook the need to have the appropriate and legal HR systems and procedures in place or to lose track of a number of other important people-related areas such as how effective is the recruitment process, internal communication and dealing with inadequate performance.

It is only when an event such as an unfair dismissal claim occurs, that these issues surface and become a problem.

We have developed an HR Audit (a sort of HR Health Check), which is a review of current practices, and procedures identifying where a company is falling short in terms of current employment legislation and best practice for the industry in which it is working. It is a very practical, focussed review structured to meet the specific needs of a company. The review covers 6 areas:

1. Strategy and Culture
2. Documentation, Policies and Procedures
3. Recruitment
4. Performance Management
5. Training and Development
6. Remuneration and Reward

The resulting report provides an overview of areas for immediate, medium term and long term attention for the effective management of the organisation's human resources. It starts with identifying the actions necessary to meet legal and regulatory requirements and moves on to review how the effectiveness of staff can be improved through initiatives such as performance management, training and effective remuneration structures.
