HR audit for businesses

A comprehensive review of the company's HR system in terms of its impact on business performance, costs and control.

An HR audit is needed when a company is growing, changing or running into people-management problems whose causes are not obvious.

High payroll, turnover, a constant shortage of staff, weak managers, duplicated functions, opaque bonuses or an overloaded HR team are often not separate problems but the result of gaps in the system.

Discuss an audit

The main value

An HR audit doesn't answer "what is going on with HR?" It answers the owner's three questions

  1. 1Where are we losing money and efficiency through people and organization?
  2. 2What needs to change?
  3. 3How do we do it in stages, and what result should the business get?

My job is to show the owner and management the real picture, identify where the business loses money and efficiency through HR processes, and propose a concrete change plan.
