The spirit of a good company is its people

Do you have staff? Are they essential to achieve your company goals?

If the answer is yes, a professionally designed organisational health audit can be used to generate comprehensive and current information related to people's experience and opinions about the organisation as a whole as well as their specific job situation. This is an effective method of improving workplace performance through identifying the extent, nature and location of any problems which may exist.

A health audit can ensure that all your staff are supported to work as productively as possible by having the information available to implement quality improvement strategies in people management.

WHY CONDUCT A HEALTH AUDIT?

By conducting a health audit, a company can make an assessment of risks to employees and provide a recorded measure. It will identify sources of pressure in the workplace, specifically looking at the impact on job/organisational satisfaction and on mental and physical health.

A comprehensive Health Audit will look at workplace issues covering personal development and organisational diagnosis. Areas assessed by the audit may include:

· Management and supervisory assessment
· Leadership competence
· Communication
· Confrontation / Conflict
· Stress
· Tolerance for Change
· Personality Types
· Risk Taking
· Attitudes
· Values
· Negotiation
· Organisational culture
· Team cohesion
· Assessing burnout potential
· Ability to emphasise
· Listening skills
· Motivational skills
· Negotiation skills
· Personal influence style

WHAT'S INVOLVED, WHAT ARE THE STAGES AND HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

There are 5 main stages:

1. Consultation - we consult closely with you so that the audit provides precisely the analysis you require

2. Data Gathering - anonymity and confidentiality are key. Questionnaires are used to gather both quantitative and qualitative data

3. Data Analysis - the data can be analysed by department, function or location or by role, for example comparing different levels of management

4. Feedback - we provide you with detailed feedback on results, interpretation of those results, and our recommendations for tackling any problems found. Our recommendations are both practical and cost-effective

5. Implementation - we will support and advise you in implementing recommended changes, including developing and delivering programs specific to your needs.

BENEFITS OF CONDUCTING AN AUDIT

For the individual an audit will educate and raise awareness of the potential dangers of conflict, stress or productivity inhibitors. For the organisation the audit can be used to develop managers' skills and to improve working conditions. Results can be used to improve communication, review working practices and organisational structure, as well as developing a participation culture.

The overall affect will contribute to reduced sickness absence and improve efficiency and productivity.
