Updated: 3 days ago
You do not need a large HR department to manage people properly — but small gaps can quickly become expensive problems.
Take this quick 10-point HR Risk Check.
1. Employment contracts
Do all employees have an up-to-date written statement of employment particulars?
2. Policies
Are your key HR policies current, legally compliant and actually being followed?
3. Sickness absence
Would your managers know what to do if an employee went off sick for several weeks or months?
4. Grievances
Could you confidently manage a formal employee grievance from investigation through to outcome?
5. Disciplinary issues
Do your managers understand the correct process before issuing warnings or taking disciplinary action?
6. Performance
Are poor performance issues being addressed early and documented properly?
7. Redundancy
Would you know where to start if your business needed to restructure or reduce headcount?
8. TUPE
If employees transferred into or out of your organisation, would you understand your consultation and information obligations?
9. New managers
Have employees who have been promoted into management actually been trained to manage people?
10. HR records
Are your employee records, contracts, correspondence and case documentation organised and accessible?
