Ebook: Auditing Your Human Resources Department: A Step-by-Step Guide to Assessing the Key Areas of Your Program

For human resources departments struggling to highlight their worth amidst company cuts and streamlining, author John McConnell offers a rigorous yet simple solution that is far less costly and intimidating than an outside audit. In this invaluable resource he provides readers with a proven, painless process for gauging how well their HR departments are performing. Auditing Your Human Resources Department does this by scrutinizing the eleven key functions of human resources, including recruitment and selection, compensation, benefits, education, training and development, diversity, and EOE. Using these functions as a framework, you'll be able to gather key information, score your self-assessment, analyze relevant data, and fix any problem spots to strengthen and maximize the effectiveness of your HR efforts.The completely revised second edition includes new information on strategic planning and HR, the impact and benefits of important technology developments, and new federal workplace laws. With hundreds of pages of questionnaires, checklists, and forms, this book supplies the tools to pinpoint department strengths, improve weaknesses—and turn HR into an essential business asset.
