HR Audits: Checking Yourself Before Others (Possibly) Check On You
Overview
“Any HR professional knows that a major part of their responsibility is keeping the company’s employment files organized – for many legal reasons – but also because it helps to keep your operations go smoothly. An externally-driven audit by a government agency could result in dire consequences including fines, citations, and shutdowns.
