Know how we conduct Business and Human Rights Gap Assessment 

Organisations are expected to conduct an HR Audit on a regular basis. Many conduct this annually.

Conducting regular audit or assessment demonstrates that the company actually cares about how they perceive their work environment. It ensures both way communications from employees and their organisation.

Choosing when to conduct the audit should take several things into consideration. Few of them are mentioned below:

  • Scheduling the audit in a relatively non-peak production period and avoiding holiday seasons generally ensures maximum responses.
  • Until and unless there is a specific purpose, it’s better to avoid high-stress periods like a bonus, performance appraisal, merger, restructuring, lay-off etc. There is a chance to get skewed results during these periods.

An HR Due-Diligence Audit is generally conducted prior to a Merger and Acquisition (M&A) or Collaboration.
