What is a HR Audit plan?
The purpose of an HR Audit Plan in table format is to provide a structured framework for assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of an organisation's HR policies, procedures, and practices.
The table format allows the HR auditor to identify key areas of review, record their findings, and make recommendations for improvement.
The use of tables and columns provides a clear and concise way to organise the information and helps to ensure that no critical areas are overlooked.
This format can be used to guide the audit process, facilitate discussions with key stakeholders, and ultimately improve the HR function of the organisation.
