Limitations of HR Audit

Every coin has two sides. Same way HR audit is also not free from limitations. However audit itself is hardly ever a failure. There are some cases when audit does not serve constructive purpose and simply becomes a process and have negative results or impact.

  • When audit is conducted as a fashion or because of some force or as a requirement of someone else and CEO has no way of refusing it.
  • When results of audit are not taken seriously and they are not implemented.
  • When HR Audit is used against HR department or to throw away some staff in HR department, it will have negative impact on overall human resource development in the company.
  • HR audit points out gaps in the HR department and indicates mismatch between organizational needs and employee competencies. It does not give evaluation of individual but focuses on units and systems.
