All human resources work has a legal and financial impact on the organization.

One way to ensure this is actually happening is to audit the human resources processes currently in place. This course is designed to help participants identify the critical areas in human resources that must be audited. It also helps participants decide which questions to ask and determine the minimum requirements for running human resources processes effectively. PrerequisitesNone — open to managers at all levels
