Scheduling an audit at the beginning or end of the fiscal year serves as an excellent practice, enabling you to set benchmarks and measure progress across periods.
Focus Areas
An HR audit can involve a variety of areas including, but not limited to, recordkeeping, the efficiency and effectiveness of the HR function, pay practices, adherence to legal standards, and workplace safety protocols.
