Human Resources (HR) Compliance

Are your Human Resources practices
helping or hurting your organization?

Manage risk for your organization and strengthen employee recruitment and retention.

Each engagement is customized to your needs. We begin with an assessment of your HR function. We review documentation and data, interview key personnel to identify risks and opportunities, and provide actionable recommendations. We can help key stakeholders develop a plan of action and help coach and implement changes as needed by the organization.

How our HR compliance service can help your organization

One way to provide protection for your organization is through an HR audit, in which employee processes and procedures are examined for compliance with employment laws. By focusing on your people practices through an HR audit, you can reduce risks, increase productivity, enhance profits, and become an employer of choice.

On a quarterly basis (or more frequently, if preferred), we target one of the following areas for review to ensure the organization is compliant with employment laws, but also to provide suggestions for process efficiencies and creating a best-in-class experience for employees:

Compensation practices, including compensation equity assessment and FLSA review
Employee benefits administration
Employee communication, complaints, workplace safety, and investigation practices
Employee development, promotionals and succession practices
Employee files and recordkeeping practices
Employee performance, feedback and discipline practices
Employment policies
Hiring and recruitment practices

If preferred, the audit can be done all at once, rather than tackling a specific functional area on a quarterly basis.

Frequently asked questions

What are the advantages to doing a quarterly audit with a single focus?

A quarterly audit with a single focus allows you to manage your limited resources and make sustained progress toward actions.

Can we just do it internally?

Certainly. We find most organizations may not have the additional time, resources, or expertise to adequately complete their review. Using a third party also provides additional perspectives of practices in other organizations and within your industry.
