HR Audit.

As an employer you have a number of legal obligations to your staff and developments in legislation are often complex and fast changing. The risks of legal non-compliance can be very costly so there is a clear business case for being confident that your HR practices and policies are legally compliant and effective. 

Lyon HR can provide a low cost but comprehensive audit to assess your company’s compliance with employment legislation. We will then identify any potential improvements to your procedures – these may be legal requirements, suggested cost efficiencies or performance improvements.

The HR audit will involve:

  • Review of relevant HR Policies and Procedures (eg, sickness absence, disciplinary, grievance, health and safety) and assess the organisations’ compliance with employment legislation and best practice.
  • Review of all HR documentation such as Employment Contracts, Application Forms, Performance Appraisal records.
  • Interview of key staff to gain feedback on your current HR practices.
  • Detailed analysis of the gaps, risks and potential improvements.
  • Identified ‘Essential’ vs ‘Desirable’ improvements.
