With the constantly shifting landscape of employment and labor laws, it can be difficult for organizations, specifically those without a Human Resources Department, to stay current. Remaining in compliance can seem nearly impossible at times, and without an HR expert in the organization, it is easy for things to get missed. As some might say – “You don’t know what you don’t know!”
While the term “audit” can tend to make people cringe, one of the most comprehensive and efficient ways to give an organization a check-up is to conduct an internal HR Audit. The opportunity to assess current practices and determine which areas require improvement can have a positive impact beyond the initial objective of achieving compliance. HR Audits can also serve to enhance the prioritization and focus of often limited resources within an organization.
Some of the most important and key components of an HR Audit include:
While a thorough HR Audit includes more than the three areas described above, these provide a great starting point when a company is beginning an internal check-up. EctoHR finds these areas of compliance are often pushed to the bottom of the list or sometimes even ignored because of a perceived lack of importance or because the thought of even beginning a compliance check-up can seem overwhelming to management staff that already have plenty of work within their standard responsibilities.
