are important components of effective performance appraisals.
Q5. Discuss HR audit process.
Answer. A Human Resources Audit is a comprehensive method (or means) to review current human
resources policies, procedures, documentation and systems to identify needs for improvement and
enhancement of the HR function as well as to ensure compliance with ever-changing rules and
regulations. An Audit involves systematically reviewing all aspects of human resources, usually in a
checklist fashion.
Q6. What is collective bargaining? Explain the principles and characteristics of collective bargaining.
Answer. Collective bargaining is a process whereby trade unions, representing workers, and
employers through their representatives, treat and negotiate with a view to the conclusion of a
collective agreement or renewal thereof or the resolution of disputes.
A collective agreement is usually an agreement in writing between an employer and a union, on
behalf of workers employed by the employer. It contains provisions reflecting terms and conditions of
employment of the workers, and conferring to them their rights, privileges and responsibilities.
