One HR Audit, Big Impact
In mid-2024, a CEO reached out with a hunch—his HR department wasn’t functioning the way it should. No metrics, no benchmarks, just a gut feeling that things could be better. That’s when Salt & Light Advisors stepped in. Through a one-time HR audit, we uncovered the gaps, offered clarity, and delivered a strategic roadmap for lasting impact. Whether companies implement on their own or keep us on for added support, the results are the same: progress, peace of mind, and confidence in their people strategy.
