The 'HR MOT'

• How well are your HR systems working?
• Are they providing your business with the support and structure you need?
• Are you up to date with changes in employment law and practice?
• Do your policies, procedures and forms reflect the latest requirements?

Our HR MOT will rigorously examine your core HR systems, polices, procedures and practices. As well as checking for compliance with the latest employment legislation, we provide you with feedback on the effectiveness of your HR systems.

A thorough review of your people policies and practices

The HR MOT looks at seven core areas of your company's approach to people management.

1. People and the company strategy
2. Employment legislation and compliance
3. Motivation and feedback
4. Recruitment and selection
5. Pay and benefits
6. Internal communications
7. Training and development

Carrying out the HR MOT

The review process consists of four steps.

1. Time spent on-site with your company. We'll meet your senior people, interview some of your employees and gather information on your strategy, policies and procedures, as well as hear about how your systems work in practice. Usually this is a one or two day visit, but may require further time if you have a multi-site operation.
2. A review of all the documentation and systems information to identify gaps, and to look at areas where updating is required to reflect legislative changes.
3. Production of a detailed report, together with advice on how to implement recommended changes in your company.
4. Presentation and discussion session for your board/management team to look at planning and implementation issues.

Timescales

Our HR MOT usually takes four weeks from the start of the on-site visit to the production of the final report and revised documentation.

Implementing changes may take longer, particularly where these involve consulting with your workforce. We can provide a clear plan of action for you as well as the letters and announcements you will need to successfully manage the change process.

If you would like support with the implementation of new systems, or would like us to design and deliver training for your managers and supervisors in the new systems, we would be happy to help.

Benchmarking

We can also conduct a benchmarking exercise for your business, comparing your policies, procedures and practices against those of other businesses in your sector, or against best practice organisations
