During an HR audit, we conduct a comprehensive collection and analysis of data, reviewing your HR documents, routines, and processes to assess how well your company complies with Swedish labor law and workplace regulations, as well as established market practices. At the same time, we identify strategic HR focus areas to ensure that personnel strategies align with your business goals. The HR audit provides a data-driven view of your HR function, highlighting current strengths and potential areas for development, as well as assessing how the HR work meets the organization’s needs both now and in the future. By combining document review, surveys, interviews, and analysis, we engage both the HR team and key personnel within the organization, creating a broad foundation and consensus on strengths and areas for improvement.
Key benefits of conducting an HR audit
- Improved Compliance
Navigating Swedish labor law can be complex. An HR audit helps ensure that your company’s processes comply with all relevant laws and regulations. - Cost savings
Through an HR audit, your company can realize significant savings by preventing costly legal disputes. A thorough review can reveal critical areas where your compliance with labor law needs strengthening, thus reducing the risk of expensive legal processes. Additionally, an HR audit can identify inefficient processes, such as recruitment. By streamlining these, you can not only reduce unnecessary expenses but also speed up the time needed to fill key positions, which can directly contribute to the financial health of the company. - Increased Employee Satisfaction
We have also seen that an HR audit can lead to increased engagement and satisfaction among employees. When employees see that the company is actively working to create a fair and lawful work environment and continuously strives to improve HR processes, they often feel valued and respected. This focus on fairness and development can contribute to a stronger company culture, which, in turn, leads to higher employee satisfaction.

How we conduct an HR Audit
STEP 1
Data collection
The core of an HR audit is collecting and analyzing data. We begin by gathering the necessary data from all existing HR operational processes, routines, procedures, and templates. In a strategic HR audit, we also collect strategic documents and governing policies.
STEP 2
Qualitative interviews
We conduct qualitative interviews with key individuals within the company to understand where you are headed and to identify any potential obstacles and opportunities for continued successful growth. Additionally, we collect any available HR data. This step is conducted in a strategic HR audit.
STEP 3
Report Compilation
Once the analysis is complete, we present the results of the HR audit. The HR audit includes both the current status of the “HR foundation” and recommended relevant HR strategic focus areas and initiatives to align with your strategic direction and business goals.
