HR Audits

An HR audit is an effective way to evaluate what opportunities are available for improvement to ensure your HR programs are aligned with your overall business objectives.

An HR audit examines the following areas:

  • Employee Relations

  • Performance Management
  • Policies and Best Practices
  • Attracting and Selecting Staff
  • Onboarding and Orientation
  • Training and Development

The HR audit can be focused on a single pressing issue or can be in-depth from an overall business perspective.

RLB LLP conducts an HR audit in the form of an on-site visit, interviews with staff and management, observation and analysis, and reviewing files and documentation. This process can be customized to meet your specific needs and timelines.

The cost benefit is often recovered in improvements made and reducing time spent on employee retraining, recruitment, and potential litigation matters related to not meeting labour law compliance.

RLB LLP will provide the following upon HR audit completion:

  • A full disclosure report including recommendations for improvement opportunities
  • More effective policies and programs
  • Assurance of up-to-date labour law compliance
  • Action items to address specific challenges
