2. HRD Competencies of the Employees including the HR Department
3. HRD Culture of the Organization
4. HRD Influence on the Business Goals or Business Linkages of HRD

Assumption
“Competent and motivated employees are
  needed to provide quality products and
services at competitive rates and ways that
      enhance customer satisfaction”
 HRD Systems Maturity Score
 Competencies and commitment can be developed through
 appropriate HRD mechanisms (tools and systems). In a HRD
 Mature organization there will be well-developed HRD
 systems and HRD systems Maturity can be measured through
 HRD audit.
 HRD Competence Score
 HRD Competencies of the HRD department and the line
 managers play a significant role in implementing the systems
 and processes in ways that could ensure employee
 satisfaction, competence building and customer satisfaction
 linkages. The competencies of the staff and the other
 employees can be measured in terms of an index.
 The HRD Culture
  values and processes created by the HRD tools, staff and their
  styles also play a crucial role in building sustainable
  competencies in the organization. These need to be
  measured and monitored. It is possible in some corporations
  (for example small corporations) to have very little of HR
  systems and yet have a high level of HR competencies and HR
  culture. In the traditional family owned organizations in those
  years where there were no systems approaches there used to
  be good degree of HRD culture, which has resulted in
  effective functioning and business.
 Business Linkage Score
  Business linkages of HRD are very crucial component of HRD
  effectiveness.HRD systems competencies and the culture
  must be a lined with the business oals of the cororation
Challenges in HRD Audit
