What you will receive

Everything you need to act with confidence

Your People Pulse report is built to be practical, not just informative. It tells you where you stand, what it means and what to do about it.

Overall People Pulse Score

A single score that captures the health of your people practices at a glance, so you know exactly where you stand before you dive into the detail.

Your Top 5 Priority Areas

We cut through the noise and surface the five domains that will have the greatest impact. Clear priorities, not an overwhelming list of everything to fix at once.

Expert Commentary on All 9 People Domains

Every people domain gets a score, a rating and tailored commentary, including the areas you are performing well in. Celebrate your strengths and know where to protect them.

Professionally Formatted Report

A clean, branded report you can share with your board, leadership team or advisors. Ready to use, not just to read.

Rating for Every People Domain

Each people domain is rated, giving you an instant visual read on where things stand across your entire people function.

Completely Confidential

Your answers and report are private to your account. Honest answers give you an honest report, and we never share your data with anyone.

The Assessment Framework

9 people domains. Every angle covered.

Each people domain is grounded in evidence, research and real-world experience working with organisations globally. Together they form a complete picture of your people function.

🎯

Hiring & Selection

How you attract and choose people shapes everything that follows. This domain examines the structure, fairness and consistency of how you bring talent into your organisation, because the right hire starts long before day one.

🚀

Onboarding & First Impressions

People form lasting impressions of an employer in the first few weeks. This domain looks at whether your onboarding experience sets people up to succeed, or leaves them to find their own way.

📈

Performance & Accountability

Clear expectations and regular feedback are the foundation of a high-performing team. This domain explores how performance is managed, recognised and addressed across your business, not just in theory, but in practice.

🎓

Learning & Growth

Your best people will leave if they stop growing. This domain assesses whether development is intentional and connected to where your business is heading, or whether it is reactive, ad hoc or absent altogether.

💰

Pay & Benefits

Pay is more than a number. It's is a signal of how you value your people. This domain looks at accuracy, fairness, transparency and whether your approach to remuneration is competitive enough to attract and retain the people you need.

💚

Wellbeing & Safety

Psychological and physical safety are not just compliance obligations, they are the conditions under which people do their best work. This domain examines whether your workplace genuinely supports the health of your people.

⚖️

Policies & Protections

The right policies protect both your people and your business. This domain assesses whether your foundations are in place, up to date and actually understood; not just sitting in a folder somewhere.

🌟

Culture & Engagement

Culture is not what you say it is; it is what your people experience every day. This domain explores communication, trust, leadership behaviour and whether engagement in your organisation is intentional or left to chance.

⚙️

Systems & Processes

Even great people practices fall apart without the right infrastructure behind them. This domain looks at whether your people systems are scalable, consistent and freeing your team to focus on what matters most.

Backed by experience

We know people. We know business.

The People Pulse is built by people experts who have worked alongside businesses of all shapes and sizes across Australia. We have seen what strong people practices look like, and we have seen what happens when the foundations are not there.

The questions in this assessment are not theoretical. They are drawn from real experience working with business owners, leaders and people teams navigating the same challenges you face every day. This tool exists because great people practices should not be the exclusive domain of large organisations with big teams and big budgets.

Every business deserves to know where it stands, and to feel empowered to take clear, confident action.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Once you complete the assessment you will see your Overall People Pulse Score and your rating, 'Performing, Building or Needs Attention', before you purchase anything. The full report, which includes your domain-by-domain breakdown, top 5 priority areas and expert commentary, is unlocked when you purchase. Think of the overall score as your headline result. The report is where the real value lives.

Your People Pulse Report includes your Overall People Pulse Score, a performance rating across all 9 people domains, your top 5 priority areas with detailed commentary, practical insights and recommendations for each domain, and a professionally formatted report you can download and share. It is designed to be read and acted on, not filed away.

Your People Pulse Score is generated from your responses across all 9 people domains. Each domain is assessed against a set of evidence-based criteria drawn from critical areas of people practice. The scoring framework reflects what we know from research and real-world experience about what good people practices look like across Australian and global businesses of all sizes. Your score reflects the strength of your foundations as they actually exist today.

Your report is a practical roadmap, not just a document to read once. We recommend starting with your top 5 priority areas and picking one or two to focus on first. Share the report with your leadership team, board or people advisors to align on priorities. Use it as a benchmark. Run the assessment again in 6 to 12 months and track your progress. If you want support implementing your priorities, our expert debrief session is a great next step.

The expert debrief is an optional 1-hour video call with one of our people experts. We walk through your results together, explore what is driving your scores, celebrate what is working well and agree on your priority actions. It is not just about identifying what to fix. It is also about external assurance, accountability and making sure your plan is realistic and well-rounded. It is particularly valuable if you want a second opinion, are not sure where to start, or want to share your results with your leadership team.

Most people complete the assessment in 15 to 20 minutes. There are 49 questions across 9 people domains. You can save your progress and return at any time. Your answers are stored against your account so you never lose where you are up to. We recommend setting aside uninterrupted time to complete it in one sitting for the most honest and consistent results.

Yes. Your responses and report are private to your account and are never shared with third parties. We collect only what is necessary to provide the service and your data is stored securely.

The People Pulse is built for any business that employs people, from small businesses with a handful of staff through to mid-sized or large organisations with hundreds or thousands of people. You can assess your entire organisation or a specific division, department or team. The questions are designed to be relevant regardless of your industry or size. If you have people, you have people practices, and this tool helps you understand how healthy they are.

The People Pulse is built by a team of people and HR specialists with real-world experience working alongside businesses of all sizes. Our questions, scoring framework and commentary are drawn from that experience, not from generic templates or theoretical models. We have seen what strong people practices look like, and we have seen what happens when the foundations are missing. This tool exists because every business deserves to know where it stands.

Absolutely! We strongly encourage it. The People Pulse is most powerful when used over time. Running the assessment again in 6 to 12 months lets you track your progress, identify where you have improved, and surface new priorities as your business evolves. Each assessment is independent, so you build a history of your people health over time. Many will run it annually as part of their people strategy review.
