| The HRMA (Human Resource Management Audit) uses this framework to try to answer such questions as these:
1. Are the mission and strategy of the human resource organization designed to match the business strategy of the organization?
2. Does the design of the human resource organization enhance its ability to accomplish its strategy?
3. Are the kinds of people who run the human resource function good choices for the ongoing tasks?
The primary sources of data are:
1. Interviews with Senior Management.Focus on strategy and a definition of the current state of the organization and the desired future state.
2. Interviews and Questionnaires with Line Management.Focus on their interactions with the HR function, their human resource problems, and the role they envision for the HR organization.
3. In-Depth Questionnaires from the Human Resource Staff. Diagnose the jobs, activities, conflicts, and internal strengths and weaknesses of the function.
4. Archival Information and Documents. Describe job histories, past evaluations, formal structures, and general background on the organization as a whole and the HR function in particular. |
