From £4,500 + VAT
Is your HR working as well as it should?
You may already have an HR function or HR arrangements in place, but still want an independent view of how effectively they are supporting your organisation.
The HR Heath Check could be right for you if you want to understand:
- What’s working well
- Where there may be gaps or risks
- Whether your current HR arrangements are delivering what your organisation needs
- Where improvements could be made
- What you should prioritise next
You don’t need to know what the problem is. That’s what the Health Check is designed to help uncover.
What does the HR Health Check cover?
We take a practical look across the core areas of your HR function and assess how effectively they are supporting your organisation.
The scope is agreed with you at the outset so the Health Check reflects your organisation and HR arrangements.
Areas reviewed include:
- People strategy & priorities
- HR structure, capability & governance
- Recruitment & resourcing
- Onboarding
- Policies, contracts & core HR processes
- Employee relations
- Attendance & wellbeing
- Performance management
- Learning & development
- Engagement, employee voice & inclusion
- Reward & recognition
- People data, systems & reporting
- Payroll, where this sits within HR
- Key people & compliance risks

Good to know
The HR Health Check is an independent diagnostic and recommendations service. It is designed to give you a clear picture of your current HR health and practical priorities for improvement.
The Health Check does not include implementing the recommendations, rewriting policies, restructuring your HR function or providing ongoing HR support.
Where payroll sits within HR, we will consider the arrangements, processes and governance at a high level, but the Health Check is not a detailed payroll, tax or financial compliance audit.
If your Health Check identifies areas where you would like further support, PeopleCore can help, but there is no obligation to purchase any additional services.
