The Human Resources Audit: How Efficient Is Your Company’s HR?

Do you know if your company’s HR practices are streamlined for your business’s objectives, or if they are even compliant with the latest employment regulations? If the answer isn’t a resounding YES!, chances are a Human Resources Audit could benefit your company.

What Is a Human Resources Audit?

A Human Resources audit is an unbiased look at your company’s HR policies, practices, and strategies. It comprehensively examines all aspects of your company’s relationship with its employees, including:

·         Hiring Practices ·         Performance Measurement & Evaluation ·         Roles & Head Count
·         Orientation & Training ·         Professional Development ·         Termination Practices
·         Personnel Policies ·         Organizational Development ·         Recordkeeping
·         Compensation & Benefits ·         Employee Discipline ·         Legal Compliance

This objective audit examines how these practices function in your company, and uses the findings to determine the current state of your company’s HR. The audit results are then used to develop strategies that will protect the company, establish best practices, and identify opportunities for improvement—streamlining and modernizing your HR services.

How Can a Human Resources Audit Benefit Your Company?

Your company will learn of any shortcomings in its HR network, especially anything that is ineffective or noncompliant. And what’s better than identifying the problem? Getting results! Your audit findings will be used to provide direction specifically tailored to your business needs, including recommendations to help you develop consistent policies and to become compliant with current laws and regulations, including FMLA, exempt and non-exempt pay statuses, and all applicable wage and hour requirements.

These recommendations can bring positive changes to your company’s HR—even unexpected ones! Streamlined Human Resources operations may result in fewer employment lawsuits, better handling of employee grievances, and fewer HR-related errors and complaints. Positive change may also make employees feel more valued and treated more fairly. Employees who feel good about their workplace improve loyalty, morale, productivity, and retention, which ultimately saves your company money. A thorough HR audit can work wonders for your company’s bottom line!

Layoffs are hard on everyone. Even as business leaders and HR professionals, layoffs are one of the hardest things we have to do. Regrettably, many of us remember this from the all-too-recent pandemic layoffs. Layoffs are a reality we may soon face again as the threat of recession looms. And while we may not have […]

Resolve conflict like a champ

How you mediate conflict impacts employee morale and retention, and also shows your leadership abilities and your willingness to tackle the tough stuff. Your conflict resolution skills can […]

Stop! and hire this candidate

It’s easy to criticize potential hires and spot reasons why we shouldn’t hire them. That one is too arrogant, that one lacks technical skills, and that one knows nothing about the company. Process of elimination, right? But too often we fail to recognize the positive reasons why we should hire someone. Positive flags can be […]
