HR Scorecard for SMEs

25 questions. 0–2 scoring. Results appear on-screen after you submit your details.

Identify where inconsistency is creating people risk across compliance, decision rights, manager tools, pathways, and governance.

Tip: Answer based on what happens in practice — not what’s written down.

How it works

  • 0 = Not in place / unreliable

  • 1 = Partly in place / inconsistent

  • 2 = In place / consistent / manager-ready

Takes most SMEs 4–6 minutes. Your score and section breakdown appear immediately after submission.

In SMEs, people risk rarely comes from bad intent — it usually comes from inconsistency. Different managers handle the same issue differently, conversations drift, documentation happens late, and “close enough” compliance becomes expensive when it’s tested.

This SME HR Operating System — Scoresheet is a quick diagnostic designed to show you where your HR is:

  • Manager-ready (repeatable, not improvised)

  • Consistent (less “manager-by-manager HR”)

  • Defensible (supported by process and documentation)

What it covers (5 areas)

  1. Compliance baseline

  2. Role clarity & decision rights

  3. Manager-ready conversation tools

  4. Pathways with triggers & timelines

  5. Implementation & governance

How to answer (important)

Answer based on what happens in practice — not what you intend to happen, and not what’s sitting in a policy folder.
