Effective HR Due Diligence

Dear Students,

It is essential that a HR Manager identifies the right issues so as to carry out effective HR due diligence in organization.

Given below are the areas which she/he can address:

• Compare terms & conditions of employment and salary scales.
• Understand the skills of present HR team-are they adequate to coordinate proposed changes to the business?
• Understand the organizational structure.
• Identify what is required in terms of manpower plan to achieve the business strategy
  Identify key personnel-to what extent is the necessary knowledge & skill vested in staff critical to running the business?
• Identify which job descriptions need to be changed.
• Compare ways of working and identify differences which need to be addressed.
• Is the organization unionized or does the employee representation group have negotiations rights, and if so, what do these rights include?
