Audits explained

How audits work, common use cases, and how you can start using them

This feature is available for users who have enabled Workforce HR.

What are audits?

Many business conduct audits around the worksite to ensure they're compliant with Workplace Health and Safety laws, industry requirements, and more.

Common audits include:

  • Fire safety compliance

  • First aid procedures and training

  • Food standards regulations

  • Hygiene audits

  • Pool safety certifications

Regulators and certifiers often visit unannounced, so it's important staff are across the requirements and a detailed history of checks is kept.


How do audits work in Workforce?

Each audit you create in Workforce contains pages, sections, and questions to help organise content for your team.

  • Audit — specify the name of the audit, which teams can access it, and a description

  • Pages — group related content together

  • Sections — organise questions within a page

  • Questions — add questions, specify the type of answer, mark as required or optional, attach images, and add follow-up questions based on an employee's answer

Audits can be scheduled to take place on a specific day (daily, weekly, monthly, or a custom schedule) or started ad-hoc by staff at any time.

Once an employee completes the audit on their mobile app, answers are stored for easy reference, download, or follow up if issues have been identified.


How can I access audits?

Audits are available as part of the Workforce Operations module, available as an add-on to your existing Workforce subscription. Contact Workforce to enable it for your account.

Once enabled, find Audits under the Operations tab in your Workforce account.
