In addition, several businesses don’t understand why workplace policies are needed at all and have failed to have their HR documents reviewed or updated because of this.

What is an HR Compliance Audit?

An HR audit conducted is a key component to help companies like yours avoid legal and regulatory liability. Our HR audits at MCDA CCG not only consist of identifying areas of legal risk, but we also help you quickly resolve the findings. 

Our audits will ensure that you are in compliance with the countless everchanging employment laws while showing you HR best practices. By implementing strong and refined policies, you will help defend yourself in the event of legal action. At the conclusion of the audit, the results will provide you with a road map for changes and improvement.
