Here's What's Included...
1. A Document Health Check
Work through your contracts, policies and right-to-work records to find what's out of date, what's missing and what's quietly creating risk.
2. A Filing and Organisation Reset
Find out if your HR information is actually findable and fix the common problem of the right document being in the wrong place when you need it most.
3. A Job Description Reality Check
Compare what your people were hired to do with what they actually do now and close the gap before it causes confusion or conflict.
4. A People Conversation Audit
Check whether your managers are having regular, clear and recorded catch-ups, because most people issues escalate from conversations that never quite happened.
5. Key People Metrics To Watch
A simple look at absence, turnover and productivity patterns that tell you where problems are building before they become expensive.
6. A Prioritised HR Action Plan
Turn everything you've found into a clear, manageable plan, so you're fixing what matters first rather than trying to tackle everything at once.
About the Author
Mike Markham has spent nearly two decades working alongside business owners and managers who are trying to do the right thing by their people, but often feel like the system isn't designed to help them do it.
Employment law exists for good reason. It protects employees, and rightly so. But it can leave employers feeling exposed, uncertain and reactive when dealing with issues they didn't see coming, without the knowledge or tools to handle them confidently.
That's the gap Cavell was built to close.
We work with business owners to give them the same clarity, structure and confidence that larger organisations take for granted without the jargon, the complexity or the cost of getting it wrong. Not to work against their people, but to create workplaces where expectations are clear, conversations happen early and problems don't escalate unnecessarily.
Because when employers are informed and prepared, everyone benefits.
Why are we giving this away for free?
Because most business owners we speak to know something feels off with their HR, they're just not sure where to start.
The same patterns come up again and again:
- Contracts that haven't been updated in years
- Policies that say one thing while managers do another
- Records scattered across inboxes and shared drives
- Issues that escalate because no one wrote anything down
This guide gives you a clear, structured way to work through it without needing an HR background or days to spare.
It's built from nearly two decades of hands-on experience helping businesses get their people management in order. We share it openly because the businesses that spot issues early are the ones that avoid the expensive problems later.
If it helps you find one gap, fix one process or feel more confident about where you stand, it's done its job. And if you decide you'd like support working through it properly, we're here when you're ready.
