In the HR sphere, it's vital to ensure practices align with business objectives and adhere to legal standards. An HR Audit acts as a thorough assessment tool, diving deep into a company's HR framework. This review highlights the strengths and areas needing enhancement in a company's HR policies, practices, and procedures.
Odyssey HR Consulting offers a detailed and all-encompassing approach to HR Audits. We understand that HR today goes beyond just recruitment and termination. It encompasses talent management, fostering a positive organisational culture, and enhancing employee engagement.
We identify areas of improvement, ensuring businesses remain compliant and enhance their HR operations to ensure the best possible performance. Such a proactive stance can boost employee contentment, lower staff turnover, and foster a more cohesive work environment. Moreover, given the ever-changing employment laws, it's vital to stay informed. Our HR Audits make sure businesses remain compliant and are ready to take on any future challenges.

HR plays a pivotal role in businesses as it directly impacts the organisation's most valuable resource: its people. Undertaking an HR Audit isn't just a recommended practice; it's a strategic imperative.
Central to any thriving company is a clear vision for the future. To achieve this vision, all departments, including HR, need to align with the company's primary goals. An HR Audit evaluates if HR strategies and actions resonate with these goals. This isn't merely about operational efficiency; it's about positioning the company for long-term growth and prosperity.
Employment dynamics are ever-changing, adapting to social shifts and new challenges. An HR Audit serves as a protective measure, assessing a company's HR practices in light of current best practice. It helps by pinpointing and addressing non-compliant areas, so companies can avoid legal pitfalls.
Additionally, an HR Audit delves into the functional side of HR. Periodic evaluations can benefit even the most streamlined operations. The audit identifies issues and outdated practices. This leads to improvements that enhance efficiency and boost employee satisfaction.
Picking the right HR partner can make HR easier or harder depending on their expertise and understanding. Odyssey HR Consulting stands out as a beacon of reliability and expertise in this domain. Let's delve deeper into the reasons why partnering with Odyssey can be a real step up for your organisation:
Odyssey is not just another HR consulting firm. We pride ourselves on having a team that has accumulated years of hands-on experience in the HR sector. This experience spans various industries and organisational structures, giving us a broad perspective on HR challenges and solutions.
When Odyssey takes on an HR Audit, our approach is comprehensive. We don't just identify problems; we understand the broader context in which they exist. We think about how HR issues affect other parts of the business, employee morale, and the company's profits.
Our team doesn't stop at identifying areas of improvement. We delve deep into the root causes of issues and provide insights that are actionable. These suggestions are based on real-life situations, making sure that our proposed solutions are practical and successful.
We recognise that every organisation has its own story, its own set of values, and its own challenges. Before we propose any solutions or conduct audits, we take the time to understand this story. We immerse ourselves in the company's culture, getting a feel for its pulse and rhythm.
Rejecting a one-size-fits-all mentality, our HR Audit process is crafted to cater to the specific needs of each client. We customise our audits to meet the specific needs of startups or established companies. These audits aim to improve their HR practices and help them adapt to changing times.
Our relationship with clients is built on open communication. After understanding a company's specific needs, we ensure there's a continuous feedback loop throughout the audit process. This ensures that our recommendations are always in sync with the evolving needs and objectives of the organisation.
Odyssey HR Consulting uses knowledge and a customised approach to ensure that your HR Audit goes beyond being a routine task. It becomes a powerful tool that brings about significant and long-lasting transformation in your company.
The HR Audit is just the starting point towards HR excellence. Recognising areas for enhancement is one aspect; enacting those changes is another.
With Odyssey, our dedication to clients goes beyond the audit. We support them in their journey to implement suggested changes, from refining processes to staff training. Our aim is to facilitate a smooth shift, minimising disruptions while amplifying the advantages of improved HR practices.

Mark is the consummate HR professional. When my son was ill and then subsequently passed away Mark was there to provide support and a shoulder every step of the way. I regard him as not only a former colleague but a friend and owe him an immense debt of gratitude for everything he did for me personally and also for my family. Mark ran a strong but supportive HR Team and was viewed very highly by everybody he worked with and on behalf of.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Mark for many years, during which time he was HR Director at a major insurer in the City of London. He's knowledgable, pragmatic and experienced in all aspects of HR. If you need HR support, I can recommend Mark and his new business, Odyssey HR Consulting.

Mark worked with Tysers for many years and during that period he helped us build a quality company. Tysers is now 200 years old and the culture of the business continues, and Mark and the HR team can be very proud of this.Mark is excellent at looking after people and will take the time and patience to help all from a new starter to an executive. Mark has integrity and during my tenure as CEO (2009-2018) he was an integral part of our development with best wishes.

I just wanted to thank you for the service you provided here. These are difficult circumstances to navigate, and it definitely gave me peace of mind knowing that we were proceeding properly. I didn’t imagine that we would get to our preferred outcome quite so quickly, and am really pleased with the way this was handled. Most crucially, the rest of the staff now understand that we will treat these situations with utmost seriousness, and your role in communicating that commitment was quite important. Thank you again.

I worked with Mark at Tysers for many years when he was HR Director and I ran the North American Broking Operations. Mark provided a very efficient and effective service throughout his time with us covering all aspects of internal Management, recruitment and guidance to the Main Board. He was also very instrumental in helping us to succeed when we sold the Company into another Insurance Brokers in 2018. I would highly recommend his services in all matters HR related.
