The Barker HR Consulting partnership starts with a free two-hour HR Audit of practices and policies.  This audit covers three general categories:

Compliance: policies, procedures and regulations that apply to the business at its current and projected size.  These issues are critical and carry significant risk if not implemented.  This category includes EEO and DOL compliance.

Risk (non-compliance):  practices that are not required but can increase risk and cost to a business if not implemented.  This category includes such things as sexual harassment prevention and interview training.

Culture:  these are the practices, procedures and policies that create retention and successful recruitment.  By aligning areas such as performance feedback, benefits, compensation, and development with the desired culture it’s easier to attract and retain the right employees in the right positions – and make changes when necessary.
