Webinar Recap: Why Self-Audits Are Essential for HR Compliance

Employment compliance is a complex and often overwhelming challenge, particularly for businesses operating and hiring across multiple states. When your organization expands into new territories or hires talent in new markets, your compliance scope doesn't just grow—it broadens significantly, subjecting your business to a much wider, often conflicting, array of federal, state, and even local laws and regulations.

In our webinar, “Why Self-Audits Are Essential for HR Compliance,” G&A Partners’ Director of Shared HR Services Tiffany Guthrie and Director of Compliance Services Lisa Bauer provide best practices, steps, and resources to help you develop a robust HR compliance strategy.

In the webinar, Bauer and Guthrie discuss:

• Employment and labor compliance across federal, state, and local levels
• How to build a compliance strategy through a jurisdictional and employee lifecycle view
• Conducting research to stay informed on current legislative and regulatory changes that may impact your business
• Additional resources and checklists to aid self-audits of current policies and processes

“Tiffany and I have worked in HR and employment for many years, collectively well over 40, with about every type of company or industry imaginable,” says Bauer. “What we hear over and over again from our clients and from the companies we’ve served is that compliance is the number one area where they need the most guidance.”

Bauer emphasizes that it’s not enough to research, track, and apply the laws/regulations. Bauer says you must ensure your policies and practices stay aligned with the latest. There’s rarely a one-and-done approach to compliance.

While compliance complexities shouldn't deter you from hiring top talent from state to state, Guthrie says they do necessitate proactive planning and strategic foresight for your business.
