Our approach

  1. Scoping

    With management, we set the scope (sites, headcount, topics), the timetable and the contact persons.

  2. Document review

    Contracts, personnel files, registers, payroll and social declarations, internal rules and procedures.

  3. On-site checks

    Targeted interviews and sample checks, to compare documents with actual practice.

  4. Findings and action plan

    A report of the gaps ranked by level of risk, a prioritised action plan and a presentation to management.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does a social audit take?

It depends on the headcount, the number of sites and the topics covered: from a few days for a targeted audit to several weeks for a full audit. The timetable is set at the scoping stage.

Does the audit disrupt the business?

No. Most of the work is on documents; interviews are scheduled with you and limited to the people concerned.

What happens after the audit?

You receive a prioritised action plan. GHR can support its implementation: regularisation, document templates, team training.
