Good HR protects everything you've built.

Poor HR quietly chips away at it.

Most business owners don't set out to get HR wrong. It just sort of…happens.

A contract template borrowed years ago. A policy that hasn't been looked at since you hired your first employee. A difficult conversation handled in the moment rather than the right way. A handbook that's more decoration than direction.

None of it feels urgent - until the day it does. And by then, the cost isn't just legal. It's lost people, lost time, lost momentum, and the kind of stress that pulls you away from running the business you actually want to run.

The good news? You don't need to overhaul everything. You just need to know where you stand.

ASSESSMENT

What You’re Scored Against

The HR Health Check looks at the six areas that matter most to a well-run, well-protected SME.

Here's what we score you on:

Contracts & Documentation - Are your employment contracts up to date, legally compliant, and actually fit for your business? We look at the foundations — the paperwork that protects you when it matters most.
Policies & Handbooks – From sickness and absence to grievance, disciplinary, and everything in between — we check whether your policies are clear, current, and consistently applied.
Compliance & Legal Risk – Right-to-work checks, working time, holiday entitlement, statutory rights, data protection. The non-negotiables that quietly catch businesses out.
Recruitment & Onboarding - How you hire, how you welcome new starters, and how quickly you get them productive. Good HR starts before day one.
 
Performance & People Management - Probation reviews, appraisals, difficult conversations, managing underperformance. The day-to-day stuff that either builds a strong team - or slowly erodes one.
Culture, Engagement & Retention - The reasons your best people stay (or don't). We look at how your business supports, develops and keeps the people who drive it forward.
