HR Assessment Worksheet
Most business owners and/or HR professionals never actually chose how they handle HR — it landed on whoever was competent and standing nearby, and worked right up until it didn't. This free, three-minute self-assessment gives you an honest read on which one you're running. Eight quick questions score you on the spectrum from "by default and fragile" to "by design and resilient," show where your setup leans on a single person, and flag which employment laws already apply based on the number of employees for your organization. Look at it as a mirror, and a clear sense of what to fix first.
