Maximize Productivity, Reduce Risk, and Strengthen Your Bottom Line

Is your Human Capital Framework optimized for success?

Employer processes drive profitability, efficiency, and compliance—but they can also create costly risks. Our Human Capital Management (HCM) Evaluation helps business leaders identify strengths, weaknesses, and hidden liabilities in their workforce operations, empowering them to make informed, strategic decisions.

Your HR Evaluation will include:

Employer Liability

Employment litigation is costly, time consuming, and greatly disruptive. Our experts will review every aspect of your company—from hiring and termination practices to payroll and ADA compliance—and note the specific areas you need to fix.

Safety

OSHA and Cal/OSHA are two of the strictest employment regulators. You must also implement drug and alcohol and workers’ comp risk controls. We will pinpoint safety exposures and sit down to discuss them with you.

Employee Performance

Our employee performance management review covers those aspects critical to your success: employee development, feedback quality and effectiveness, discipline quality and effectiveness, and the quality of annual performance reviews.

Why an HCM Evaluation Matters

Most HR and payroll assessments stop at identifying problems. We go deeper. Employer’s Guardian takes a root cause approach, analyzing the core factors that impact:

Customer Experience – Workforce management directly affects service quality and client satisfaction.
Employee Productivity – Inefficiencies in training, processes, and technology limit team performance.
Profitability – Labor costs, payroll compliance, and performance management impact your bottom line.
Litigation Risk – Wage and hour compliance, OSHA regulations, and internal policies determine legal exposure.

Transform Workforce Operations with Data-Driven Insights

Our HCM Evaluation provides leadership teams with a clear, actionable roadmap for optimizing human capital management. We assess core business functions, highlight risk areas, and present strategies for cost reduction and operational efficiency.

What’s Included in the HCM Evaluation?

A Comprehensive Analysis of Your Human Capital Framework

At the core of every organization is a Human Capital Framework —a system of workforce processes that impact efficiency and risk. We break this framework down into key modules to deliver a structured, high-impact evaluation.

HCM Modules Evaluated

✔ Wage & Hour Compliance (Overtime, Accruals, Meal & Rest Periods, Wage Statements)

✔LOA & Accommodation Management (FMLA, CFRA, ADA, Compliance, Efficiency)

✔ General HR Processes (Onboarding, Handbook Management, Internal Investigations)

✔ Performance Management (Progressive Discipline, Employee Engagement, Involuntary Termination Risk Controls)

✔ Compensation Plans (Salary Structure, Incentive Management, Pay Transparency, Equal Pay Compliance)

✔ Recruiting & Retention (Employee Selection, Feedback Effectiveness, Turnover, Training)

✔ Safety & Risk Management (OSHA, Injury Case Management, Drug-Free Workplace)

Our process identifies process inefficiencies, compliance risks, and missed opportunities—helping you close gaps before they turn into costly liabilities.

The HCM Evaluation Process

Our streamlined 4-step process ensures a thorough and efficient review of your Human Capital Framework:

Data Collection (1-2 Weeks)

We gather key policies, forms, records, and system configurations to evaluate compliance and efficiency.

Evaluation & Stakeholder Interviews (2-3 Weeks)

Our experts analyze historical data, interview leadership, and assess operational effectiveness.

Expert Review & Risk Consultation

Findings are reviewed with your legal counsel (optional) to align recommendations with regulatory requirements.

Report Delivery & Executive Strategy Session

We present a clear, actionable report with improvement strategies—empowering leadership teams to make informed decisions.

✔ Includes a live executive review session for maximum impact.

Actionable Results: What You Gain from the HCM Evaluation

✔ Clarity on Workforce Operations – Gain a 360-degree view of how your human capital strategies drive (or hinder) business success.
✔ Legal & Compliance Risk Mitigation – Identify wage and hour risks before they lead to costly penalties or lawsuits.
✔ Operational Efficiency Improvements – Streamline internal processes and reduce labor costs.
✔ Stronger HR & Payroll Integration – Align recruiting, compensation, and performance management with business goals.
✔ Leadership-Ready Insights – Get data-driven, C-suite-friendly recommendations that inform strategic planning.

Did you know? Many businesses unknowingly overpay labor costs or fail to meet wage compliance standards, exposing them to unnecessary financial risks. Our evaluation helps course-correct these issues before they escalate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the report private?

Yes! This report stays between Employer’s Guardian and the company’s principles. The report is NOT shared with government officials, for example the Department of Labor or OSHA. It is for your eyes only.

How long does the report take?

Timeframe: 4-6 weeks

Data Collection: 1-2 Weeks
Collaboration & Review: 2-3 Weeks
Executive Strategy Session: 1 Day

The review is a two-step process. First is the intake. This occurs at your location and commonly takes two hours; an hour and half for an interview/intake, and 30 minutes reviewing a sampling of personnel files, health and safety plan, and collecting other policies. The next step is the delivery, and this also commonly takes two hours. This can be done in-person or via an online meeting.

Isn’t this what my payroll or HR platform is supposed to catch?

Unfortunately, most platforms aren’t configured for compliance—they’re built for data processing, not strategy. Our evaluation uncovers misconfigurations, gaps, and liabilities your platform may be perpetuating.

Will this be a lot of work for my team?

No. We handle the heavy lifting. You’ll assign one point of contact to help us gather documents. Interviews are concise, and we do the analysis.

What if I already know some of the issues?

Perfect—this isn’t about surprise. It’s about confirmation, prioritization, and a plan. We help you move from “we know this is a problem” to “we’ve solved it.”

How is this different from an HR audit?

Traditional audits flag issues. We identify root causes, quantify impact, and tie it back to operational and financial goals. Plus, our evaluation is built for leadership—not just compliance teams.

What happens after the evaluation?

You get an executive-ready roadmap. You can implement changes internally, with your attorney, or partner with us for select services. We’re flexible—but always by your side if needed.

Can we involve legal counsel?

Yes—and we recommend it. We often coordinate with employment attorneys to align recommendations with your broader risk and litigation prevention strategies.
