    Free HR health check

    Is your HR in order, or does it just feel like it?

    The HR basics every UK small business should have, in one tick list. Five tabs, a score for each and one overall, the legal gaps named, and a PDF report you can keep. About ten minutes.

    Your answers never leave your browser. There is no account and no database behind the check, and it does not fetch a single font.

    No cost. No card. One email, so we know who we built it for.

    HRMate Mini: a dark spreadsheet with coloured tabs for people, policies, health and safety, pay and keeping current, an overall score of 44 per cent and ten legal gaps.

    01 · What it does

    Ten minutes. One honest score.

    Most small businesses are not ignoring HR. They just have no way of knowing what they have missed until someone asks for it. The health check asks the questions first, in plain English, and sized to the number of people you employ.

    Tick through it

    Yes, no or not sure, one tab at a time. Each line tells you why it matters before you answer.

    See the score

    A score for every tab and one overall, so you can see which part of the business needs you first.

    Find the legal gaps

    What the law requires is marked apart from what is simply good practice, so you know which gaps carry real risk.

    Know where to go next

    Each legal gap points to the official free guidance, and the whole report saves as a PDF to keep or hand on.

    02 · The guarantee

    Your answers stay with you.

    An honest health check means admitting what is missing. Nobody wants to do that on a stranger's server, so the check does not ask you to.

    Nothing is uploaded

    Every answer is scored by code running on your own device. Nothing about your business is sent anywhere.

    No account, no server

    There is no login and no database behind the check. We could not see your answers even if we wanted to.

    It stays on your device

    Your answers are kept in your own browser so you can come back to them. Clear your browser data and they are gone.

    Not legal advice

    It is a starting point that tells you where to look. Where a situation is complex or high-risk, take advice before you act.

    03 · Who it’s for

    Owners running a team without an HR department.

    • The owner of a cafe, bar or shop with a handful of staff and a nagging feeling something has been missed.
    • The founder who has just hired their first employees and wants to start out right.
    • The office manager who has been handed HR on top of everything else.
    • Anyone who would rather find the gap themselves than have an inspector or a tribunal find it.

    04 · The link

    Ask for it, and Rob will send it to you.

    Tell us who you are and Rob will email the health check to you himself, usually within a working day. It is sent by hand rather than by robot, because knowing who we built it for is the only thing we want in return.

    We will email you the tool, and we may follow up once to ask what you made of it. We do not sell your details, and you can tell us to stop at any time. Full detail in our privacy notice.
