Human Resource Audits

Organizations are often unaware of the effectiveness of the human resources function.  Understanding whether your HR practices are meeting your needs requires a comprehensive review.

COPE conducts human resource audits to identify and clarify needs within the human resource function and highlight non-compliance.  The level of study depends on the size of the organization or the resources available.  An audit may consist of some or all of the following:

• Review of all human resource functions to determine compatibility with your organization’s strategic goals, including recruitment, employee orientation, performance management, training and development, compensation and benefits.
• Review of all employment policies and practices to assess compliance with employment law.
• Analysis of payroll practices and classification of employees as exempt or nonexempt from overtime requirements.
• Analysis of human resources metrics.
• Employee satisfaction and workplace culture survey.
• Interviews with senior leaders.

We can work with your organization to identify the most efficient means of gathering information while not disrupting daily operations.  Through a combination of document review, paper or web-based surveys, interviews with senior leadership and staff and on-site observation, we will identify specific human resource management needs.  A comprehensive report is provided with recommendations to senior management following the audit.
