The term “analytics” gets tossed around carelessly these days. Like tech companies talking about “artificial intelligence” or job applicants’ not-so-clever use of “proficient in Microsoft Word,” people can use the term “analytics” to mean just about anything. For HR analytics to be worthwhile, they must provide useful insights for your business and in-depth analysis of broader trends.
The payroll audit , sometimes called compliance audit, is the process of thoroughly reviewing a company’s payroll practices and processes. It detects compliance issues regarding employment laws.

To keep your business running smoothly (and legally), HR needs to get compliance right every time. Our HR Compliance Checklist is your go-to guide to cover the basics and start your auditing processes, helping you identify and address any gaps in your HR functions. Remember, compliance rules can differ based on industry and location—you’ll still need to keep up with changing regulations, but our checklist can help you get started.

Several years ago, while working on a re-design project for a company’s onboarding, I became familiar with the work of John Van Maanen and Edgar H. Schein. In “Toward a Theory of Organizational Socialization” (1979), they identified 6 major dimensions that represent how organizations approach socialization – in other words how newcomers are introduced (“onboarded”) to an organization.
