Stage 2: Assessment and Consultation
A gap assessment that shows exactly where the value is leaking
Whether you are pre-implementation or already live, our health check benchmarks your HR platform against best practice and gives you a prioritised remediation plan.
Part of the Grouper customer journey: stage 2 of 12, Assessment and Consultation.
A gap assessment is the fastest way to understand the health of your HR platform. We review configuration, adoption, data quality, integration and compliance, then score each area and prioritise the fixes that matter most.
For existing BambooHR customers this is an annual health check included in our white-glove partnership. For prospective customers it is the perfect way to de-risk a project before it starts.
