HR Contribution Assessor Tool

Free

To get the most from your organisation you must have sound management practices. Research suggests that there are five HR management practices criteria which, if optimised, will enable an organisation to excel.

Those five span how a firm recruits, how its managers lead, how it rewards performance, how it develops its people for the future and how it manages those who fall short of expectations.

Using this tool you'll be able to see for yourself how effective your curent practices are within your business. And you'll see areas of people-management that you might like to think about improving.

When you're done, let's chat about how you can implement those changes.
