HR Audit & Gap Analysis Report

This report provides a detailed assessment of your current status, from which we create a prioritised agenda with clearly priced items.
In More Detail
Employee Performance
In today's challenging economy, it's crucial for employers to ensure that their staff are operating at peak efficiency. There's no room for inefficiency. Our focus lies in maximizing your workforce's potential by analysing processes, identifying areas for improvement, implementing necessary restructuring, and managing outplacement if deemed necessary. Employers now, more than ever, need a clear understanding of what's happening within their business. Stay informed and keep your finger on the pulse of your operations.
HR Audit
We'll perform a comprehensive audit of your organisation from a Human Resources standpoint, evaluating your current setup and identifying what's necessary for an efficient workforce. You'll receive a detailed report outlining regulatory needs, including contracts, policies, procedures, and performance management programs. Our consultants will collaborate with you to implement these programs tailored to your budget and timeline.
The HR Suite
Do you have all your policies and procedures in place? Having them written is just the first step; true value comes from their implementation within your organization. We not only provide the necessary policies and procedures for your business but also ensure their integration into your operations. Let's take those policies and procedures off the shelf, dust them off, and put them to work for you.
Inductions
One of the most critical aspects of onboarding a new employee is their induction process. A comprehensive understanding of the business and their role within it is essential for their success. Through our experience conducting exit interviews with staff who have left within the first three months, we've found that the primary reason for their departure is often the lack of proper induction training. To address this, we offer a thorough induction program that can be conducted virtually. This ensures consistency, allowing all new staff members to undergo the same comprehensive induction while freeing up you and your team to focus on your tasks.
Employee Survey
Understanding your employees and their perceptions of the business they work for is crucial. While we may assume we know what our staff think, we might be surprised to learn that our priorities don't always align with theirs. Neglecting areas that are important to them can lead to wasted resources, a frustration no business owner wants to experience, especially when resources are scarce. It's essential to ensure that your focus and resources are directed towards the areas that truly matter to your employees and the success of your business.
Retention Strategies
Are you unsure how to retain your key players? We can provide you with strategies that will ensure retention of your key players. This will address financial as well as non financial rewards.
Performance Management
Establishing an environment where your staff understand precisely what is expected of them is key. By having them sign off on these expectations and, most importantly, following through on those commitments, you ensure that your staff are operating at their optimal level. This is best achieved through a consultative approach, fostering open communication and collaboration between management and employees.
Legislation & Awards
Fair Work Act 2009, National Employment Standards 2009, Transitional Awards, Modern Awards – confused? What applies to your organisation? Let’s get that one off your desk and onto ours where it belongs. Let us work out what you do and don’t need.
Occupational Health & Safety
Would you like to offer your staff a high level of safety and security in their workplace? Are you suffering high Workcover Premiums? Would you like to decrease these? Would you like to be able to feel confident with a Workcover claim that you will not be found in the wrong? We can provide workshops and check lists to ensure compliance and safety.
Mentoring & Coaching
Have you promoted your top technical talent into leadership roles, only to find that they lack the necessary management and leadership skills? It's a common scenario where companies take their best performers and elevate them into management positions, only to realize that it might not be the best course of action. Instead of demoting them, consider providing them with the toolbox of skills they need to succeed in their new roles. Our tailored training programs can equip them with the necessary leadership skills to make your decision to promote them a successful one.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Are you intending to acquire or merge with another business, or are you being acquired? This can have disastrous results if not handled properly. Ensure that you have the right plan in place prior to the acquisition or merger. This will result in less turnover and provide you an understanding of possible outcomes prior to them arriving on your doorstep unexpectedly.
Payroll Audit & Report
THRP can conduct a thorough audit of your payroll to ensure accurate payment of your employees, including allowances and deductions. While employees typically report underpayment, overpayment often goes unnoticed. However, underpayment can lead to substantial fines. Let us help you avoid costly errors and ensure compliance with payroll regulations.
Outsourcing Payroll
Managing payroll is time-consuming and prone to errors, with employees often failing to report overpayments. Outsourcing this task can ensure accuracy and cost savings, potentially halving your current expenses. Let us handle your payroll efficiently, freeing up your time and resources while minimising errors and compliance risks.
HR Consulting

Change In Management
Major changes within a business can be fraught with risk if not managed effectively. Predicting how an organisation will respond to such changes is challenging. To minimise disruption and ensure a smooth transition, implementing a comprehensive Change Management Program is essential. By engaging with us beforehand, you can proactively address potential challenges and mitigate their impact, rather than dealing with the aftermath later. Let us help you navigate change successfully and emerge stronger on the other side.
Outplacement
In the current economic climate, many companies are facing tough decisions regarding workforce reductions and role redundancies. To assist organizations and individuals during these challenging times, we offer support to employees affected by such decisions through our Career Transition and Outplacement services.
These services offer numerous benefits to both the employees impacted and the organization as a whole. By providing support to departing staff, as well as ensuring the well-being and productivity of those remaining, we help uphold the company's reputation with future prospective employees and in the marketplace.
We offer flexibility and a commitment to tailor both cost and program to meet your organizational needs. Our programs include one-on-one counseling with experienced Career Coaches, empowering departing employees with the best possible opportunities for success after leaving the organization.
