HR Audits
Find the gaps before someone else does.
We run structured reviews of your HR posture — documentation, compliance, process, and people — and hand you a prioritised list of fixes.
Who we work with
- Businesses preparing for due diligence — fundraise, sale, bank facility, or major customer audit — who need their HR house in order.
- Companies with a new HR lead who wants an independent baseline before deciding what to fix first.
- SMEs that have grown fast and suspect their HR is held together with duct tape.
- Boards and owners who want an annual independent check on a function they’re not close to.
Services
- Documentation audit — every HR document inventoried, classified, and checked against UAE requirements.
- Compliance audit — MOHRE, WPS, gratuity, leave records, visa rhythms, and any sectoral requirements.
- Organisation design review — does the structure match the strategy? Are reporting lines clean? Are there ghost roles?
- Process audit — hiring, onboarding, performance, exit. What’s documented, what’s habit, what’s broken.
- Risk register — a single document listing every gap, its severity, and a recommended owner and timeline.
- Remediation roadmap — a sequenced plan for closing the gaps, with realistic effort estimates.
How we work
01. Scope
A working session to define what’s in scope (full audit vs. focused area), how much access we’ll have, and how confidentiality is handled.
02. Investigate
Document review, interviews with HR and managers, and a walkthrough of key processes. We work quietly and discreetly.
03. Report and prioritise
A short, decision-ready report with the findings, the risk register, and the remediation roadmap. We present it to whoever you choose.
FAQs
How long does an audit take?
Anywhere from one week (focused audit on a specific area) to four weeks (full HR posture audit for a mid-sized business). We scope it up front.
Will the audit disrupt the team?
Minimally. Most of our work is reviewing documents we’ve been given access to. Interviews are kept short and respectful, and we work around the team’s schedule.
Will the report be a 100-page document?
No. Our audit reports are short, decision-ready, and prioritised. The risk register sits at the front so you can act on it immediately. The detail is in the appendix for whoever needs it.
Can you also fix the things you find?
Yes — for many engagements clients want us to handle the remediation directly using our other services (Policy & Compliance, Hiring, Performance). We’ll always quote remediation work separately and you’re under no obligation to give it to us.
