HR governance is invisible. Until it fails.
How well governed is your HR function?
40 statements across 8 disciplines reveal the strength of your HR governance and give you a score you can confidently take to the board.
Measure it. Benchmark it. Defend it.
Why complete it
Finance is audited every year. Engineering will not merge a line of code without review. The sales pipeline is inspected weekly, stage by stage. HR writes the rules everyone else follows, and in most organisations nobody can say how well it is governed. Nobody notices, either, until a pay claim, an audit or a board question makes the gap visible all at once.
- 01
See the gap before someone else does
Ungoverned functions are usually discovered by their first serious test: a regulator asking for records, a pay transparency claim, an audit of AI in hiring. The assessment runs that test first, in private, on your own terms.
- 02
The question is already on its way to your boardroom
“How mature is our HR function, and how do you know?” The only variable is whether you build the answer before or after it is asked.
- 03
You cannot fix what you have not measured
The total tells you where you stand. The eight section scores tell you what to do on Monday: which discipline to build first, and the two after it.

Fifteen honest minutes, nothing to install
Forty statements, three possible answers each. No staff survey, no data upload, no demo. Your own answers, scored the way an auditor would score them.
