An HR audit is a comprehensive review of current policies and procedures and the Company’s compliance with current employment legislation. The areas reviewed in an audit include; recruitment processes, performance appraisals, evaluation processes, exit interviews, benefits and compensation. It may also include an employee opinion survey.
An audit will identify the strengths and weaknesses within a Company's working practices and highlight what's missing or needs to be improved. The audit compares documentation with what's being done in practice, ensuring legal compliance and a consistent approach across the Company.
HR audits directly benefit the businesses by identifying areas of risk and any potential issues that could damage employee relations or worse, business reputation.
