As a business owner or professional, you know how much you work and are “plugged in” to the inner-workings of your business. HR functions can take up so much time – processing payroll, administering benefits, performance review forms, hiring, firing, then back-filling, and so on and so on. When you pause to take a moment to think about it, how comprehensive are the HR services that are provided to your organization? Are there any key programs not being offered or compliance issues being missed? You don’t know what you don’t know, right? HR Consultants, like those at our firm, can step in here to help.
Performing an HR Assessment will evaluate the strengths and opportunities for improvement in your current HR operations. With a comprehensive list of questions and interview points, your HR Department’s policies, programs, and practices are analyzed to identify compliance issues and gaps in services that need to be remedied. The idea is to assess how well all the pieces of the HR pie are working together to support your business’ goals.
Key Areas to Evaluate:
Employee Files
I-9 Forms
HR Department Controls
Compliance
Compensation and Benefits
Training and Development
Talent Acquisition
Hiring and Onboarding
Performance Management
HR Analytics
Employee Relations

I really enjoyed reading this article because it highlights something many business owners overlook—the importance of stepping back and assessing whether HR practices are truly aligned with business goals. I especially liked the reminder that “you don’t know what you don’t know,” which is so true when it comes to compliance and HR regulations. The list of key areas to evaluate, like employee files and performance management, is also very practical and gives a clear starting point. In my own experience, bringing in an HR Consultant made it easier to identify gaps we didn’t even realise existed, and that kind of outside perspective can be invaluable.
