HR Effectiveness / HR Audit

Boost HR efficiency and business results

The HR function is under tremendous pressure to prove its value by creating a more productive, results-oriented workforce, while simultaneously reducing operating expenses. In other words, HR needs to get more from less—and prove it.

HR is a system within a system and actions or non-actions of your HR Department affect the entire organization. The HR audit is the primary means of analyzing HR effectiveness and efficiency and objectively reporting findings to include developmental recommendations from a best practice perspective. The HR audit also improves compliance, if indicated, and develops further infrastructure to support and grow the potential of the company's Human Capital. An audit targets areas relative to organizational development and human resource management practices including:

• Staffing and Hiring
• Benefits Administration
• HR Administration
• Employment Practices
• Education and Training
• Time Off and Leaves
• Health and Safety
• Performance Management
• Compensation
• Terminations

HAFNER CONSULTANTS will prepare a comprehensive report of the audit findings with recommendations that are prioritized to assist your organization with development of an actionable work plan.

Your effective implementation of the work plan is the key ingredient to improve the performance, efficiency, and effectiveness of the HR function and to realize the ROI of Human Capital Management.
