Optimum HR Systems HR Practice Assessment

Business growth, change in HR management and a genuine aim to improve the HR processes drive our clients to request a HR Practice assessment. For some projects, the HR Practice Assessment is Optimum Human Resource Systems’ first step to evaluate the client’s needs.
Optimum Human Resource Systems conducts a comprehensive evaluation of our client's policies, practices and procedures. We approach the HR Practice Assessment from a regulatory compliance perspective, as well as a practical employee relations viewpoint. We candidly review the strengths and weaknesses of the employee relations program and provide constructive recommendations to make improvements.
The specific topics to be covered are defined in discussion between the client and the consultant, accordingly to the organization needs. A standard HR Practice Assessment will, however, typically include a review of the following issues:

HR Policies and Handbooks
Compliance with notice posting and record keeping requirements
Recruitment and selection procedures
Equal Employment Opportunity compliance
Americans with Disabilities (ADA) compliance
Parenting Leave compliance
Human Resource planning
Employee skill development
Performance management systems
Employee obligations
Dispute resolution process
Two-way communication systems
Employee health, safety and security policies
Employee separation process
Compensation and benefit policies and practices
Workers' Compensation expense control
HR Process Improvement - Visual Workflow Analysis

Optimum HR Systems produces comprehensive written reports detailing each analyzed practice. Reports include specific recommendations ranked by priority and degree of importance. Independent of what the ultimate client’s goal is - either risk avoidance or improvement potential, Optimum Human Resources System recommendations provide concrete solutions for HR Practice and processes improvement.
