What is an HR Audit and why do I need to have one?  

As an independent HR consultant, our primary goal is to work in your business’s best interests and help you to achieve your business goals too.

When we start working with you as a Strategic HR Business Partner, we need to understand how your business ticks, the risks it faces and the opportunities available to you.

And the most powerful tool we can use to help us do this, is an HR Audit.

What is an HR Audit?

An HR Audit is a comprehensive review of your company through the lens of an experienced HR expert. Once we understand your goals and what you’re trying to achieve, we follow a structured approach to look at everything from a people perspective in your business.

We have three different levels of Audit to ensure we can meet your goals;

Our HR Manage Audit reviews your contract of Employment and Employee Handbook or HR Policies only, so this audit covers what you need to have in place legally as an employer. We will provide you with a comprehensive report regarding your contract and handbook/policies, which will detail clearly if you are failing to meet employment legislation in any areas, and what you need to do about it. If you need a new contract of employment or Handbook/polies, these can then be provided with a 10% discount as part of the Audit.  Cost £495 plus VAT.

Our HR Grow  Audit reviews your contract of Employment, Employee Handbook/policies and your key people processes; Recruitment, On-Boarding, Probation and Performance Management to ensure that you have the key people processes in place to ensure you can grow a great team and help you to manage and motivate your people.  If you need us to work with you on improving any of these key documents or processes, these can then be provided with a 10% discount as part of the Audit. Cost £995 plus VAT.

Our HR Maximise Audit. This covers absolutely everything that you do in relation to your people. We review all paperwork and documentation that relates to your people; from recruitment of an employees to the exit of employees and everything in between! We provide you with a detailed report and using a simple traffic light system, identify where you are not meeting employment legislation; RED, areas which you could improve upon to ensure you are able to attract and retain the best people for your business and GREEN for areas where you are doing just fine. We will then meet with you to discuss your report in detail and then create your people strategy to help you meet your business goals. If you need us to work with you on improving any of these key documents or processes, these can then be provided with a 15% discount as part of the Audit. Cost: £1,995 plus VAT.

What are the main benefits of having an HR Audit?

1. Peace of mind

We’ll ensure your company is legally compliant and protected against costly employment tribunal claims.

2. Data-driven decision making

HR can often feel intangible. That’s why we’ll create a RAG-rated priority list of actions we need to take to help you ensure compliance, create a great place of work for your employees and help you to achieve your business goals.

 3. Customised and cost-efficient support

Once we know what needs to be worked on, we can provide you with the best possible support and transparent costings to make it happen within an agreed timeframe.
