Many businesses are only as good as the people they employ. As a result, the business cannot thrive without employing reliable and motivated employees. This means that irrespective of the size of your business, human resources (HR) expertise will be an essential element of your ongoing success. It can be hard to know where to start in terms of establishing HR practices and procedures. That’s why Ramshaw HR offers free human resources advice to all prospective clients in the form of a free HR health check.
What does a free HR health check involve?
A free HR health check will involve a qualified HR Consultant visiting your premises to assess the overall health of your HR practices and, where necessary, suggesting where improvements could be made to ensure legal compliance with employment law and/or to add value to your business.
A free HR health check will involve the following steps;
- The completion of a short on-line questionnaire to determine your current HR practices.
- Based on the questionnaire results, an online HR Consultant will draft a report and send this to you. The report will detail the overall health of your current HR practices.
- As part of this process, you will be offered a complimentary on-site meeting with a qualified HR Consultant to discuss your requirements and where improvements could be made to ensure that your business is legally compliant and fully utilising its most important resource – its people.
To achieve a solid HR framework, this will involve, in most cases, reviewing;
- Employment contracts
- Handbook policies

- Performance management
- Absence management
