5 HR gaps growing businesses don’t realise they have..

Your business might be doing well. Your team might be getting along. And you might not have any obvious HR problems right now. But that doesn’t necessarily mean your HR foundations are strong.

As businesses grow, we’ve found there are a few gaps that are particularly easy to overlook:

  1. Managers aren’t confident handling difficult conversations
    They might be great at running the business, but managing performance, conflict or employee concerns is a different skill.
  2. Performance issues aren’t dealt with early
    A small issue gets put off. Then another. Before long, it’s become much harder to address.
  3. Onboarding depends on whoever happens to be available
    One employee gets a great first week. Another gets a quick introduction and a laptop.
  4. Policies exist, but aren’t really part of how the business operates
    Having a policy in a folder is one thing. Making sure people understand and follow it is another.
  5. HR processes haven’t kept pace with business growth

What worked when you had five employees may not work as well when you have twenty. None of these automatically means your business has a serious HR problem. But they’re worth checking. That’s exactly why we created the Halcyon HR Health Audit.

It takes around five minutes and gives you a personalised snapshot across Compliance, Process and Leadership.
