Human Resource Audits & Risk Assessments

An HR Audit involves a review of an employer’s systems and processes to determine if they meet current and projected HR needs and whether they provide sufficient protection from legal liability. It is also important to audit human resource functions from time to time to ensure that best practices are on the cutting edge.

Employers are recognizing the liabilities and obligations resulting from the enormous growth and expansion of employment litigation. Failure to recognize potential causes of action for wrongful discharge, employment discrimination or failure to comply with the increasing number of federal and state employment regulations can produce disastrous results.

Lavinski|Hayes can provide assistance by conducting an audit of a specific area or an entire function.

• Written executive summary identifying any gaps and prioritizing recommendations
• Follow-up meetings with key individuals in your organization to review the audit results
• Priority setting and action planning related to the audit results
• Annual audits to measure progress and reassess priorities
• Provide an HR professional when necessary to implement, or assist in the implementation of HR programs, practices and/or modifications

Customized Employee & Manager Handbooks

Employee handbooks are important in the education and management of your employees. If you have more than a few employees, it's a good idea to create an employee handbook that clearly explains your workplace policies. The benefits of having an employee handbook are many: Every employee receives the same information about the rules of the workplace; your employees will know what you expect from them (and what they can expect from you); and you’ll buy your organization valuable legal protection if an employee later challenges you in court.

Lavinski|Hayes will work with you to review your current handbooks or help you customize a handbook or manual for your specific company policies and culture.
