HR and People Baseline Snapshot.

An honest, symptoms-first read of how your people function actually works today, before you score anything.

For each of the five stages, mark every symptom that is true for you right now. A stage with several boxes checked is a candidate problem area that carries forward to the scoring. Any compliance symptom checked in the last group is flagged for immediate attention regardless of the rest.

Hiring and selection

We hire reactively, under pressure, from a shallow pool.

We judge candidates on resume and gut feel, not a defined standard.

We too often discover a hire was wrong for the role.

Onboarding and integration

New hires are left to sink or swim; there is no real plan.

People take too long to become productive.

Some new hires leave within the first weeks or months.

Performance management

Expectations are vague; people are unsure what good looks like.

Feedback is sporadic and mostly negative.

Under-performance is tolerated until it becomes a crisis.

Compensation and retention

Pay is set ad hoc and is inconsistent across comparable roles.

Good people leave and we did not see it coming.

People have no visible path to grow with us.

HR infrastructure and compliance

We have few clear policies; decisions are made inconsistently.

Employee records are scattered or incomplete.

Basic employment compliance is a question mark.

The revealing figures

Your rough annual turnover

Where your people cost and pain actually concentrate
