Why spend the next two minutes on this?
Staff admin rarely costs much in one go. It costs a little, every day.
A holiday request in a WhatsApp, a spreadsheet to update, a payslip question, a perk hardly anyone uses. The check looks at where your staff records live, how much of the week goes on requests and chasing, whether staff use the benefits you offer, and how tied in you are to the software you pay for.
It is written for UK businesses with 10 to 250 staff. Most of the steps it suggests work with whatever tools you use, including none.
