An HR compliance audit can be time-consuming and tedious. Gia makes it simple.
Gia is agentic AI for global HR compliance. Here’s how Gia can help:
Automates document review and analysis
Instead of sorting through hundreds of documents manually, you can upload your employment contracts, handbooks, and policies to Gia. It’ll analyze them against our proprietary knowledge base of global labor laws to instantly flag potential compliance gaps.
Gia is built with robust data security measures, so your documents are safe and private. We’ve implemented comprehensive security controls based on SOC 2 Type II principles, and all data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Unlike other AI tools, we don’t use your data to train Gia.
Provides instant answers to complex compliance questions
You’ll probably have questions during your audit. Instead of waiting days for a legal consultant to reply, you can ask Gia and get an instant answer.
Use Gia’s conversational interface to ask questions like, “What are the mandatory overtime pay requirements in Germany?” Gia gives you expert-vetted answers in minutes, saving hours of legal research to keep your audit moving.
Generates compliant document templates
If an audit reveals an outdated or noncompliant policy, you don’t have to create a new one. Gia can generate a fully compliant template for that specific country, which you can then customize.
You can use Gia to generate contracts, job descriptions, employee handbooks, offer letters, policies, and more. Gia turns a multi-day task into minutes.
Acts as a proactive compliance monitor
Employment laws are always changing and need constant monitoring. Gia tracks global employment laws in real-time so your documents always meet current regulations. Transform compliance from a once-a-year event into an ongoing, automated process.
Cuts the time and cost of compliance
Traditional audits are expensive. You have to pay consultants or lawyers to analyze your documents, which translates to many billable hours. Gia cuts the time and cost of compliance by up to 95%.
Tips for collecting and analyzing audit data
During your audit, you’ll see a lot of data. You need a way to manage this data to stay organized and focused. Consider these tips:
-
Use a centralized system: Maintain all audit-related documents in a single platform. This keeps your audit organized and prevents you from losing track of important details. Gia can be your central hub, storing all your questions and document reviews in one place.
-
Prioritize high-risk areas: Focusing on high-risk areas, like worker classification, lets you put resources toward potential issues with the biggest consequences. If you’re not sure what compliance problems have the greatest risk, ask Gia.
-
Take a balanced approach: Audits should uncover both risks and opportunities. Document what your company is doing right to create best practices. For example, maybe you discover your onboarding process is highly effective in a specific region. Determine why this is, and then apply that best practice to every country you hire in.
Tips for presenting findings and implementing improvements
You’ve completed your audit and discovered compliance gaps. Now it’s time to take action. The following steps help you share your findings so you can get leadership approval:
-
Make it easy to understand: Present your report in an easy-to-understand format. Use bulleted lists and visuals to highlight key risk areas. You can also use Gia’s summarization feature to translate complex information into simple overviews.
-
Focus on solutions: Present a recommendation for every issue you identified. Include specific timelines to create a clear path forward. The goal is to show leaders that the problems are manageable. This makes it easier for them to approve your plan and provide the resources needed for corrective action.
-
Emphasize the value: Gain executive buy-in by framing your recommendations around risk mitigation and adding business value. That way, you can address leaders’ top concerns, like financial outcomes, and get their support.
-
Follow up regularly: Ensure the corrective action plan is being implemented on schedule. Use a project management tool to assign tasks and track them. Hold regular meetings to monitor progress. You can conduct a mini-audit a few months after implementing changes to ensure new processes are being followed.
