Current-State HR Assessment

Overview

First INTENT phase: establish what HR does today, how, and with what friction. This workflow is meta-planning—it produces the evidence base for every operational HR workflow entry added later.

HR function inventory

Seed list from INTENT background (expand per assessment cycle):

Function area	Assessment focus
Talent acquisition & recruitment	Sourcing, screening, interview loop, time-to-hire
Onboarding & integration	Paperwork, training, culture immersion, tool access
Compensation & benefits	Pay bands, enrollment, fairness checks
Performance management	Goals, feedback cadence, review cycles
Learning & development	Training catalog, upskilling, succession
Engagement, relations & culture	Recognition, conflict, wellness, inclusion
Compliance, risk & legal	Labor law, privacy, audits, investigations
Workforce planning & analytics	Forecasting, turnover, engagement metrics
Offboarding & retention	Exit process, knowledge transfer, alumni

Assessment loop position

Currently at inventory. See registry/assessment-loop.md for stage definitions and exit criteria.

Next steps

1. For each function area, document actors, triggers, and current artifacts.
2. Mark steps as manual, semi-automated, or automated.
3. Advance to automation_potential when all areas have a first-pass inventory.
