Why bother with an HR Health Check?

Did you get all of your employee’s personnel details when they joined you? Perhaps some forms got left in the closet?

Then an audit is here for you!

Audits may be scary but is a great way to wiggle out what information might be missing from your employees’ personal records, i.e.;

Contact details
Home address
Emergency contact details

But what else can an audit provide for you?

Eligibility to Work

A significant point an audit can help you with is what right-to-work checks you have and haven’t completed for employees. The charge for not doing right-to-work checks is a ghastly £20,000 per employee who hasn’t had a proper right-to-work check!

Turnover

Turnover rate is important to a business not only for the cost of recruiting and training new employees, but also a way to identify how to boost your company’s productivity to avoid a high turnover rate. An audit can provide you with the breakdown of what percentage turnover is for your business, but also how to support you to maintain a low turnover rate. Did you know what the cost of replacing an employee is to your business? It is estimated that to replace a salaried employee, it could cost, on average, between a terrifying 6 – 9 months’ salary.

Absence Rate

We understand that employees may need time off for a variety of reasons, short-term or long time. With an audit report for absence, we’d be able to show you a breakdown of how much absence is on record from each employee and how to support those that have a high number of absences. The cost of absence to a business per year is around £554 – £557 per employee!

Holiday

Keeping an up-to-date record of holiday usage and entitlement can help to ensure you are compliant with the working time directive, but can also help to reduce financial risk to your business.

It’s always important to manage and monitor holiday leave and engage with your employees about holiday entitlement.

What benefits are there of conducting an audit?
