HR Health check

A HR health check helps determine the effectiveness of  your HR function,  processes and overall capability to deliver a  legally compliant service.

This check is a fast, simple and a cost effective way to ensure your HR practices are up to date.

The following list are some of the sample HR topics we cover as well as some sample questions we ask when assessing your HR capability.

• Policies and Procedures - what does your business currently have in place?
• Employment Contracts - are your employment contracts up to date and employee documentation readily accessible?
• On-boarding of new employees - what paperwork do you require a new joiner to complete?
• Discrimination and Employee Rights - Are you complying with disability, maternity, paternity and parental leave rights for your employees?
• Employee Relations - • Are your grievance and disciplinary procedures up-to-date?  Do your managers know how to use them?
• Talent Acquisition -  Do you check the identity of candidates to ensure they are permitted to work in the UK before making a job offer? Do you conduct reference checks?
• Performance - Is there a performance management system in place? How do you manage under performance?
• Strategy -  Are HR goals in line with those of your business?  Do employees know what the strategic objectives of your business are?
• Pay and Benefits - Are compensation levels monitored and reviewed?
• Leavers -  Do you conduct exit  interviews for leavers?
• Sick Leave and absences - Do you conduct absence reporting, including who the employee should contact and when? Do managers know when the employee requires a medical certificate?
