HR Audit

The human resource audit is a critical tool for managing your business. The occurrence of claims made against employers in today's increasingly complex employment arena is staggering.

Claims cost time and productivity, consume defense dollars, and come from both governmental intervention/investigation (agency actions) and from the company's own personnel. Therefore, gathering key data about an organization's HR performance and effectiveness is the only sure means to determine whether you are prepared, or vulnerable.

Our HR audit process focuses on your employment practices and policies. We will provide you with hard facts about your operations and insight with respect to gaps that may exist in complying with state and federal employment regulations.

We will also explore your company's strategic objectives and how the information gained from the audit can be used to facilitate changes that will improve your operations and employee effectiveness.

An overview of the areas to be covered as part of the audit process include:

• Compliance with Applicable Employment Laws
• Personnel Manuals and Employment Policies
• Wage & Hour Administration
• Job Specifications and Descriptions
• Employee Performance Evaluations
• Discipline and Termination Procedures
• Workers' Compensation and Unemployment Claims Management
• Compensation Plan Strategies
• Safety, Health and Security Issues
• Recordkeeping, Posting and Internal Forms
• Employee Training and Development
• Organizational Planning Considerations

Data is typically gathered through file/document reviews as well as individual and group discussions with staff members who have direct HR responsibility.

At the conclusion of the audit, we will provide you with a written summary of our findings along with recommendations for corrective action, if any.
