The start of a new financial year is a busy time for New Zealand business leaders, as they take stock of the previous financial year and plan and budget for the new year. HR leaders also have several ‘must-do’ tasks to complete. Our interactive checklist can help.
A new financial year is the ideal time to review policies and employee record-keeping to ensure everything is up-to-date and accurate. In addition, there are likely to have been compliance, regulatory and employment law changes over the past 12 months, or which will roll out in the new financial year. These also need to be accounted for in any company policies and procedures.
Now is the time to review the year that has passed, assess what’s been done well, and identify areas for improvement in the year ahead.
Our handy checklist touches on all areas within HR’s mandate, including:
Employee engagement and HR ‘health check’
HR budgeting
Employee contracts, entitlements and industrial instruments
Payroll and KiwiSaver
Employee files and records
Recruitment and onboarding
Performance management and professional development
Technology and tools
General HR hygiene (workplace health & safety, employee discipline and termination, leave policy, expenses policy reviews)
