HR Health Check

As part of our initial consultation with each client, we complete an HR Health Check, which reviews how effective the Human Resources practices and policies are within the clients business and also how they add value to the business.

Once the Health Check is completed, a report is produced with recommendations to give the client a clear insight into where their strengths and weaknesses lie as a business in terms of Human Resources and which areas of the business need any improvement to meet best practice guidelines.

The health check looks at all areas of Human Resources within the business including:

• Recruitment Process
• Wages and Hours
• Training & Development
• Benefit & Reward schemes
• Termination of Employment
• Human Resources Documentation
