• HR auditing is a proactive and effective process
  that helps understand a companys status
  regarding compliance and HR policy. It can be
  carried out on a specific HR function, for
  instance on compensation structures, or on
  various areas of HR function. HR auditing
  services can help organizations adjust and tweak
  their workplace policies or modify its practices
  to suit its and employees best interests. HR
  audit firms have their own methods of carrying
  out HR audits. Here is a stepwise breakdown of
  the process for those wishing to carry out their
  own HR audit internally.

• Human Resource HR Auditing Process.

• Gathering a Team
• Before embarking on an HR audit, the organization
  needs to form a team and assign duties for
  carrying out portions of the audit that lie
  within their area of expertise. These team
  members could be representatives from each HR
  discipline, such as training and development,
  compensation, recruitment, grievance handling,
  and employee relations. A meeting should be
  called between these team members to intimate
  them of their tasks during the HR audit. In case
  of HR audit firms, they may bring their own
  functional experts.
• Setting Goals and Identifying Key Areas
• The next step in the audit process would be to
  establish a timeframe in which the audit is to be
  completed. This timeframe would include the time
  assigned for each individual area of the HR
  audit. HR audit firms offering HR auditing
  services often come up with tailor-made goals for
  individual organizations. The organization needs
  to identify key areas of the HR function whose
  audit completion is contingent upon another area.
  For instance, an employee relations area of the
  audit would need information from the complete
  audit of the compensation and benefits part.
  Therefore, this stage should establish the order
  of these specific areas.

Sourcing Documentation and InformationThe third
step would be to obtain the documents relating to
the HR process and standard operating procedures.
This includes documents pertaining to applicant
information, payroll, employee requests, and
medical information. Organizations taking
services from an HR audit firm would have to
disclose these documents to their service
providers. Information also needs to be in place
in case of outsourced HR functions.

• Reviewing Individual Processes
• Once the relevant documents are in place, the
  next step would be to review each of the
  processes for identified areas. For instance, the
  auditors can look at how the employee relations
  personnel manage employee complaints, the
  communication with legal counsel, etc. The
  auditors can also investigate if the organization
  is adhering to the determined compensation
  structure. HR auditing services encompass all
  these functional areas and critically review them
  as per their standard parameters.
• HR auditing is an extremely crucial aspect of
  organizational management. It helps maintain good
  employee relations and confidence in the
  organization. It goes on to show the employees
  that the company values them and is ready to
  critically assess its policies and practices to
  ensure employee wellbeing.
• Among some of the best HR audit firms in
  Hyderabad, Accuprosys is one of the few that not
  just offer HR auditing services but also provide
  correctional policies on an individual basis
  after the audit.
