HR Assessments Can Improve the Bottom Line
There are over 80,000 assessments in the market today, but how many are measuring cognitive abilities?
In my experience, I find business owners spend a great deal of time molding and shaping their organization to focus on business goals. But sometimes one of the most challenging aspects of operating a business is the employees. Not always because the employees themselves are a challenge but because there is so much legislation and nuance to handling employee relations in the best interest of the employer and the employee. In today’s competitive climate, businesses operate within the confines of a heavily-regulated employee environment. If you have just one employee, you may have at least 35 legislative requirements. Compliance with laws and regulations, while maintaining and aiming to create a positive company culture, is especially challenging; it takes a proactive approach to do it well.
Often as a company is growing rapidly, it makes sense to consider an HR Assessment or HR Audit as a vital means of avoiding legal and/or regulatory liability. Ignorance is certainly not bliss in the world of an employer. In addition to identifying areas of risk, a review of common practices or lack thereof can provide a company with information about the competitiveness of its HR strategies by looking at the “best practices” of other companies in the industry. In essence, an audit involves identifying issues and finding solutions to problems before they become unmanageable. It is an opportunity to assess what an organization is doing right, as well as how things might be done differently, more efficiently or at a reduced cost. The results achieved by undergoing an assessment can help identify gaps in HR practices, and these gaps can then be prioritized for an action plan in an effort to improve processes, minimize risk, as well as to achieve and maintain competitiveness in key HR practice areas.
