Strategic HR Assessment — FAQs
What is a Strategic HR Assessment?
A Strategic HR Assessment is a structured evaluation of how well an organisation's HR function is set up to support business goals. DNB's version — the Strategic HR Success Index — scores your organisation across 9 pillars, from HR strategy and governance through to leadership and culture, and returns a benchmarked score with clear priority actions.
What is an HR maturity assessment, and how is this different?
An HR maturity assessment typically scores an organisation against fixed maturity levels. DNB's Strategic HR Success Index covers the same ground — governance, workforce planning, talent, performance, analytics, compliance and culture — but frames results around strengths to build on (Foundation, Growth, Strength, Excellence, Strategic Excellence) rather than labelling an organisation as "immature."
What does a Strategic HR Audit cover?
DNB's Strategic HR Audit covers 9 areas: HR strategy and governance, workforce planning, talent acquisition, performance management, learning and development, employee engagement and retention, HR analytics and technology, compliance and risk, and leadership and culture.
Is this HR diagnostic tool free?
Yes. The 45-question Strategic HR Success Index assessment itself is free to complete and gives you an instant score and pillar breakdown. Paid options are available if you want a full Executive Insight Report, a strategy session, or a Corporate Success Programme rollout across your team.
How is my organisation's HR capability benchmarked?
Your HR capability assessment score is benchmarked against an industry average and against high-performing organisations, so you can see not just your score but where it sits relative to comparable businesses.
Who should complete this HR Strategy Assessment?
This human resource assessment is designed for HR leaders, business owners and department heads who want an honest, benchmarked picture of how their HR function is performing across strategy, operations and culture.
