Street Cred For Hr - The Journey To Evaluating Hr Through Auditing, Chris Andrews
Dr Chris Andrews
Extract: When I first started looking at Human Resource Auditing the prevailing view was that it was good for ensuring that all of the components of a human resources program were in place and operating correctly.

Extract: In this explanatory paper we describe the Australian Universities HR Standards Project, an initiative that ran from 2007 to 2011. Since the Project was completed there have been a number of initiatives in the HR standards space, each following different paths. With that in mind it is important to document the background to this project and the views of the authors on relevant issues, in particular the reasons for adopting the direction taken in formulating these HR standards.
