Mini HR Audit 

Many small to medium size businesses face the overwhelming task of administering their human resources (HR) function with little or no dedicated/trained HR Resources. Often, these duties are spread among several people within the organization. Many long established or big businesses have the HR specific resources ad programs in place but may not have taken the pulse of their HR function for a long while. Regardless of size, resources or number of years in business, you may have non-existent, poor or out-dated HR related functions and programs. An HR effectiveness audit is a diagnostic tool, not a prescriptive instrument. It reveals the strengths and weaknesses in the HR resources system and identifies issues needing resolution. The audit helps evaluate past performance assesses present circumstances and determines future remedial action to keep the “people” mission on target. At HR-Fusion we believe you take care of your people, your people will take care of your business and your bottom-line!

To take a quick pulse of your organizations HR systems please take advantage of our complimentary mini HR Audit.
