HR audit: the smart thing to do before year end

As we approach the holiday period, it can be tempting to just let things slide. “I’ll look at it in the new year”…sound familiar? But how good would it be to fix something that’s been bugging you so it doesn’t carry over into 2019?

Maybe something like this:

• Are my contracts of employment the right ones for my business?
• If Fair Work turned up on my doorstep, am I confident I have my employment records up to speed?
• How can I get my team to perform better or stop taking excessive time off?

If you can’t identify the best way to deal with a certain matter – and this often occurs when you’re too close to your business – engaging someone to perform an audit of your HR documents and processes just makes sense. And now’s the perfect time to find the right person to help you out.

A quality HR audit will not only provide you an independent perspective of your employment compliance and employee performance levels, but also recommendations for improvement, prioritising these into a tailored, cost-effective action plan for your business.

Here’s the thing: there’s no single best HR system or process. The best one for you is one that protects your business, gets the best from your people and gives you the results you want. And while there’s no “one size fits all” solution, there are certain HR “must haves”: the documents and procedures that ensure compliance with the Fair Work Act and Regulations.

While it may sound a little complicated, the good news is most of the time a simple HR structure can offer the compliance obligations and employee performance drivers you need. Bare Bones Consulting’s approach to HR is based on this premise:

While people can often be complex, your systems to manage them don’t have to be.
