Running a successful business requires more than just hard work and dedication; it also means staying up to date with ever-changing employment law legislation. Keeping up with the latest laws and regulations can be challenging, but failure to comply can have serious consequences for your business. That's where an HR audit comes in.

An HR audit is an objective review of your business's HR practices, policies and procedures. This review helps identify areas of non-compliance and provides recommendations for improvement. Conducting an annual HR audit can ensure that your business complies with current laws and regulations.

After conducting an HR Audit, Stallard Kane provides a comprehensive report highlighting areas of non-compliance using a red, amber and green traffic light system.
