An HR audit questionnaire covers the HR records you have, what’s missing, and which areas need review before scoping the audit.
An ex-employee raises a complaint, or a compliance check lands, and the hard part isn’t the intention, it’s the paperwork trail. This HR Audit Questionnaire gives you one place to collect the facts about contracts, records, and day to day HR process, so an audit starts from consistent answers instead of scattered messages and half-remembered steps.
The form opens with a short note on what the reviewer will do with the responses, then collects contact details and moves into scope questions. The prompts ask what’s missing from the HR files, whether contracts and policies comply for Kenya, what happens when discipline or termination comes up, what records get kept and for how long, current headcount, and which areas to review, including policy & compliance and payroll deductions. Zilla Slab headings and Inter body text sit on teal with magenta accents, so the page reads like a set of record tabs rather than a marketing page.
- HR Audit Questionnaire A short opening message tells the client what the reviewer will do with the response and how scope and next steps get agreed.
- Contact details Name and email are required, with an optional phone number for follow-up.
- What I need to know The questions capture missing HR files, Kenya compliance status, discipline and termination steps, records retention, employee count, and the HR areas to review.
HR consultants and internal HR teams can send the form link, review the response in Plutio, and use the answers to agree scope and next steps without wiring up anything else.
