INTRODUCTION

Human resource audits can help identify whether the HR department's specific practice areas or processes are adequate, legal and effective. The results obtained from this review can help identify gaps in HR practices, and HR can then prioritize these gaps in an effort to minimize lawsuits or regulatory violations, as well as to achieve and maintain world-class competitiveness in key HR practice areas.

This highly participative EuroMaTech Effective HR Audit for Strategic Alignment training course will focus on benchmarks against which HR function effectiveness can be measured. This premise has reached critical momentum in times of financial crisis and in the post pandemic era. The inability to specify a return on investment in human capital operations fuels may fuel negative perception and even corrode respect for HR. While financial audits are required by law, audits in HR are mostly discretionary unless required by specific legislation. In many organizations this perception is an obstacle for HR professionals seeking to be “at the table” and viewed as a strategic partner contributor to organizational goals.

Through facilitated discussion, group and individual hands-on exercises, this workshop will show you how to develop and conduct an HR Audit. You’ll discover how to use different types of benchmarks and indicators to produce a HR Scorecard which will reveal the true state and comparative effectiveness of your HR function. You will learn to use audit results to construct strategic and action plans to address gaps and inefficiencies.

Participants attending this training course will develop the following competencies:

  • Understand the value of audit and compliance as a benchmark standard
  • Learn how to transfer, adapt and apply best practices
  • Align strategy and operations in support of business growth
  • Balance the requirements of HR, people management and development and business growth
