HR Audit and Assessment

HR Audit and AssessmentDelivering Comprehensive and Objective HR Audits

Performing an HR audit and assessment will not only help your company to stay in compliance with the laws, but it will also give you the necessary data from which to implement HR policies and procedures that are stronger, more efficient, and more aligned with what is required by today’s workplace environment. The best part is, it’s easily affordable for every business!

Merely going through the motions of an HR audit or assessment is meaningless and unhelpful. There must be a willingness to consider the human resources policies and procedures of your organization in light of existing law, best practices and potentially uncomfortable issues that may cast your organization in a less than flattering light. In fact, many organizations that undertake this type of self-examination find that they not only uncover problems related to their employee relations and employment practices, but also discover ways to upgrade their practices and procedures for the future.

Brand Strategy ProcessOutside or Inside – What Works Best?

Many organizations attempt to conduct these HR appraisals with a completely internal team, dedicated to overseeing and executing an HR audit and assessment of their own organization. If your business has a well-staffed HR department full of qualified professionals, this is a natural decision to make. However, it may not be the best decision when it comes to generating the most thorough and objective results. Any individual or team, when tasked with documenting and analyzing their own or their team’s performance, is going to have a difficult time being objective. Differing perspectives, tangled relationships and personal feelings will invariable become involved, “muddying the waters” of your final conclusions and making the final product much less useful in its diagnostic purpose.

That’s why even companies with extensive internal HR resources are often much better off with tasking an outside entity to conduct their HR audit and assessment. The team at HR Forever has performed in this role for many organizations, producing objective and exhaustive reports, detailing all areas of HR policy and performance. Turning to an outside source such as HR Forever will almost always deliver the most useful and comprehensive information you need to make your company’s HR policies and procedures the best they can be in the years ahead.

The purpose of an HR audit and assessment is to identify issues and find solutions to problems before they become unmanageable. It is a chance to assess what an organization is doing right, as well as how it might do things more effectively, more efficiently or less expensively. When it comes to issues related to compliance, HR audits can perform a literally life-saving role for organizations, helping them to avoid the devastating legal and financial consequences that unaddressed compliance issues can have on a company’s bottom line. It is an unfortunate reality that organizations who do not conduct regular HR audits and assessments only become aware in retrospect of the monetary costs of ignoring HR-related legal quagmires. Noncompliance with appropriate laws and regulations involves significant financial risk to an organization, and a well-conducted HR audit can save a business from potential financial ruin. These are the sorts of issues that you want to identify early, before they emerge into messy public and legal entanglements. An HR audit and assessment, conducted by a highly-skilled team like that at HR Forever can save your organization for untold damage and expense in the years ahead.
