​

Employee reviews can be conducted in a variety of ways, but are often done by having an employee answer some questions, before sitting down with a member of the HR team to discuss how they are going in their role. In order to get the most out of an employee review, the HR consultant should be very skilled in the manner they ask the questions, and about which questions they ask.

Successful performance management reviews are a proven way to increase employee retention.

There are many different methods that can be implemented to help increase employee retention.

FAQs

Is HR consultancy a viable career choice?

A study in 2016 by the Australian Human Resources Institute said that out of 437 HR professionals, about 85% were satisfied or happy with their work. It is true that HR is often at the core of frustrating conflicts in a business and there are a number of challenges- like with all other businesses and departments.

​

However, with the increasing number of small to medium-sized businesses in Australia and a growing number of people who prefer to use outsourced consultancy services as opposed to hiring full-time staff, HR consultancy is a very promising career choice.

​

Can you open a consulting firm without HR experience?

Getting into HR without prior experience or education is common and many people discover that they particularly enjoy it once they are in the field. However, opening a consulting firm without prior experience may be a bit tricky and risky.

​

First of all, your clients may want to see some certifications or endorsements of your experience before they hire your firm.

​

Additionally, it is important to know how to grow a network and manage different aspects of a business before opening one. Since many issues in HR can get technical and frustrating, it is advisable for you to have some sort of training before you start working as a consultant and providing services.

Is a strong online presence essential to running an HR consulting business?

A strong online presence is highly advisable when running an HR consulting business because it is the fastest and most effective way of growing and leveraging your network. You can have thousands of contacts and educate your network about the services you offer via social media.

​

Social media plays an important role in presenting your message, disseminating it to a large audience, and helping you connect with an extended network.

​

Moreover, if an HR business is not on social media, clients may have a hard time trusting the business and communicating with the business. It is sometimes said that if you aren't on social media, you simply don't exist.

​

Therefore all HR consulting companies should work hard to develop a strong and engaging online presence and continue to interact with their target audience virtually.
