Human Resources Audits
A human resources audit assesses the effectiveness and quality of an existing HR function and serves to identify existing and potential areas of concern, including areas that may be in violation of any applicable laws and regulations. The audit typically includes employee relations, recruitment, compensation, benefits, training and other HR disciplines within the organization. After completing the audit, our HR consultants will prepare a summary report and, when appropriate, outline recommendations for corrective action.
Are your compensation practices equitable among all employees? Could some practices be creating internal inequities or raise concerns about compliance or fairness?
Higginbotham’s team can conduct a statistical analysis of your employee population to identify adverse impacts or unequal treatment of protected classes that may be hidden in your company’s compensation practices. Along with this analysis and interpretation, our consultants can offer recommendations for correcting potential pay issues.
A due diligence audit involves a full review of an organization’s compensation and benefit programs, policy variances, discrimination claims, employment litigation status, staffing levels and adherence to state and federal employment laws, both prior to and during merger and acquisition events. Our team will research, identify and analyze current policies, claims and staffing issues that can impact the decisions supporting mergers and acquisitions.
Higginbotham’s HR consultants can evaluate selected staff members through position analyses and personal interviews to determine an individual’s qualifications for a specific leadership position. Management studies assess individual strengths and areas of opportunity, and we can supply recommendations for staffing or organizational changes when necessary.
