HR Audit & People Practices Assessment
Clarity before change. Insight before action
What Is an HR Audit & People Practices Assessment?
An HR Audit & People Practices Assessment provides organizations with a clear, objective view of how their current people practices support, or limit, performance, culture, compliance, and growth.
Rather than focusing on policies alone, this assessment examines how HR systems operate in practice, identifying strengths to build on, gaps to address, and risks that require attention.
This service is particularly valuable during periods of growth, leadership transition, operational strain, or organizational change.
How the Assessment Works
1. Discovery & Alignment
We begin with an intake conversation to understand your organization, priorities, and concerns. Together, we confirm the scope and focus areas to ensure the assessment is relevant and targeted.
2. Information Gathering
A tailored combination of the following is used:
Document Review
Policies, procedures, handbooks, templates, job descriptions, onboarding materials, and related HR documentationLeadership & Employee Interviews
Structured conversations to understand how people practices are experienced and applied day-to-dayProcess Review
Key HR and people processes such as recruitment, onboarding, performance management, discipline, and offboarding
This blended approach ensures both compliance and personal experience are considered.
3. Findings & Current-State Analysis
Findings clearly outline:
What is working well and should be preserved
Where gaps, inconsistencies, or risks exist
Where informal practices have replaced formal systems
How current practices impact leaders, employees, and outcomes
Where helpful, findings may be summarized using SWOT analysis to provide a concise, executive-friendly snapshot.
4. Recommendations & Roadmap

Clear, prioritized, and actionable recommendations
Identification of quick wins and longer-term foundational work
Practical sequencing and implementation considerations
