Description

It’s a HR person’s worst nightmare isn’t it – a WRC inspector knocking in the door, right before you were about to tick all those HR admin jobs off your to-do list, that may now land you in trouble.


But as we know, WRC audits and inspections do serve a real purpose, and whether we like to admit it or not, are necessary, as they lift the standards across the employment world here in Ireland, and tackle bad employment practices.


And of course, for many of you listening, WRC audits won’t turn your business upside down, and at the very worst, give you a slightly more updated and urgent to-do list.


Today, we’re discussing how to prepare a WRC Audit with our very own Joe Thompson, Head of HR Services here at Insight HR
