WHAT WE DO
HR Audit & Diagnostic Review
Know where your HR function stands — before it becomes a problem.
GLCsCorporatesGrowing businesses
Most organisations assume their HR function is working. Until a regulatory audit flags a compliance gap. Until a restructuring exposes an outdated job grading system nobody has looked at in years. Until a new leader arrives and finds no documentation, no process, and no baseline to build from. By then, the cost of fixing it is significantly higher than knowing about it earlier would have been.
What we do
We conduct structured, independent HR audits across Malaysian organisations — GLCs, corporates, and growing businesses. Our review covers the full HR function: policies and compliance, payroll and statutory obligations, recruitment and onboarding, performance management, compensation structures, and HR governance. We are not here to find fault. We are here to give you an honest, evidence-based picture of where your HR function stands — and a clear view of the right next steps.
How we work
We start with a scoping conversation — understanding your context, what prompted the review, and what decisions depend on its findings. From there we conduct the fieldwork: document review, process walkthroughs, and where needed, confidential interviews with key stakeholders. Everything is assessed against Malaysian statutory requirements, employment law, and current HR practice. The output is a written findings report with prioritised recommendations — not a list of everything wrong, but a clear view of what matters most and what to do about it. We debrief with you directly so the findings lead to action, not a document that sits in a drawer.
Here is what typically changes.
Where clients typically are
- No clear view of whether HR policies are compliant or enforceable
- Payroll and statutory contributions processed but never independently verified
- Employment contracts that haven't been reviewed since the company was founded
- Job grades and salary structures that grew organically and have no defensible logic
- Performance management that exists on paper but not in practice
- A board or audit committee asking questions HR cannot confidently answer
Where clients typically end up
- A clear, written baseline of the HR function — what is working and what is not
- Statutory compliance confirmed or gaps identified and remedied
- Employment documentation that is legally sound and consistently applied
- A prioritised action plan the leadership team can act on immediately
- Confidence going into regulatory reviews, board presentations, or leadership transitions
- A foundation for the next phase — whether that is restructuring, a new HR strategy, or a leadership search
What's covered
We tailor every engagement to the size, maturity, and context of your organisation. The following are the areas we review:
- HR policies, employee handbook and standing orders
- Employment contracts, offer letters and termination documentation
- Payroll accuracy and statutory compliance — EPF, SOCSO, PCB, EIS
- Job grading and salary structure review
- Recruitment and onboarding processes
- Performance management framework
- HR data, systems and record-keeping
- HR governance — roles, responsibilities and reporting lines
- Bursa governance and diversity reporting requirements (for GLCs)

No obligation.
Just an honest
conversation.
If you are not sure whether the
gap is real — that is exactly
the right time to find out.
