Ellen Yin and Allan Xu welcome note to group members
HR Audit
Our Human Resources Assistant Manager, Ellen Yin and our Business Advisory Services Manager, Allan Xu, shared in-depth knowledge and real experiences during the presentation.
Ellen recapped the significance of a HR audit, before going on to outline a five phase audit process.
Recruitment is not simply a ‘matching game’ to choose the right candidates. If recruitment practices are not appropriate or compliant with local labor laws, HR-related problems will emerge and thus undermine the prosperity of the businesses.
Risk Avoidance During Hiring
As we moved on to “risk avoidance in the hiring process”, Allan introduced ten modules requiring review during a HR audit. She also analyzed potential risks in six recruitment areas including employment criteria, offer letter, right-to-know and contract signing.
