HR Audit
A full strategic review and assessment of the effectiveness of your people management policy and practice is a useful and valuable way of assessing the steps being taken to support managers in recruiting, supporting, developing and energising staff and, indeed, volunteers who work on your behalf.
The Audit collects and evaluates data about your organisation's HR practices and policies in order to assess the overall effectiveness of people management strategies in your organisation and their impact on overall performance.
On the basis of the audit evidence, and with reference to relevant external benchmarking data and relevant employment legislation, our report will be likely to cover the following areas:
- Key issues to be included in your future business and people management (HR) strategies that are designed to improve your overall performance
- Recommendations for a sustainable framework for effective people management for your organisation - or suggested improvements to your current processes
- Guidance on the effective implementation and resourcing of your future people management arrangements
- An action plan guiding you on the key issues to be addressed through HR strategies and initiatives, with action steps describing implementation milestones
- Recommendations for the optimum HR service solution - in house, outsourcing, or a combination of both
Aside from ensuring compliance with current employment legislation, there are other times when an HR Audit can be particularly relevant.
Improving strategic performance - Can you demonstrate how your people management strategies contribute to achieving your organisations strategic objectives? and i n our experience, many Chief Executives and Trustees cite workforce management issues as their top challenge in achieving strategic objectives.
Change management - Are you fully prepared for your change programme? Having the right policies and procedures in place from the outset will help you manage change more effectively and reduce uncertainty for the people affected.
Nurturing your talented people - Do you have clear people management strategies? An external HR Audit can identify valuable initiatives in crucial areas like, recruitment, teamwork, sharing feedback and learning, developing talent and supporting work life balance priorities.
Supporting your managers - Are your managers confident in the current levels of HR support available to them? An external HR Audit can suggest ways to improve your managers' awareness of the benefits of effective people management and its contribution to performance.
