What is the HR Healthcheck?
As your business grows, we understand that your people and processes must keep pace.
With our new powerful HR Healthcheck diagnostic tool, you can analyse the key areas of your employment framework – from recruitment and contracts, through to policies, grievances, performance management, and future-proofing.
You’ll answer a series of questions (or call us for a short discussion) and cover a wide raneg of topics:
- Employment policies & contracts
- Recruitment & selection practices
- Grievance & disciplinary processes
- Performance management & employee wellbeing
Once complete, you’ll receive a tailored report highlighting where you’re strong, where there are gaps – and what to tackle first.
Why you need it now
- Compliance-risk reduction – Employment law and HR best practice move quickly. A gap in your documentation or process can expose your business to risk (costly claims, unhappy employees, or reputational issues).
- Better people outcomes = stronger business – When your HR foundations are solid, you attract and retain better staff, your managers are confident, and the whole organisation operates more smoothly.
- Time and cost savings – Instead of letting issues accumulate and dealing with them as they arise, the Healthcheck surfaces things early, so you invest proactively rather than reactively.
- Clarity and direction – Many businesses know they “should do something” about HR, but aren’t sure where to start. This Healthcheck gives you the focus and a roadmap to drive improvement.
How long does it take – and what does it save you?
We’ve designed the Healthcheck to be efficient, practical and impact-oriented. You should be able to complete the diagnostic stage in about 30-60 minutes (depending on how many systems you currently have in place). Then we deliver the personalised report, so you walk away with clear recommendations.
Because you’re getting immediate insight and a plan, you save many hours (sometimes days) that would otherwise be spent auditing your own documentation, asking specialist advice piecemeal, or scrambling when an issue arises. Some of the savings include:
- Avoiding the time taken to trawl through outdated contracts or policies.
- Avoiding the downtime and disruption of managing a grievance or compliance failure.
- Enabling your HR/People resource to focus on strategic initiatives (rather than firefighting).
- Getting ahead of problem areas so they don’t escalate into financial or cultural costs.
