People Management Pyramid

Have you ever been in a situation where you had to review the HR function of a firm? Maybe as part of a due diligence of an acquisition candidate, or during a functional review of a client organization. I have found the attached framework to be quite helpful to guide and structure the overall approach in this.

Some of the ways to use this framework:
– Who spends how much time on what, do we neglect certain areas?
– What is the output in these key areas? Does the HR function provide value to the employees, are they satisfied?
– Where are the key issues, where are the improvement opportunities?
