People Readiness Index™

The fast, evidence-based way to understand how inspection-ready, scalable, and investable your organisation truly is.

Transform Regulatory Compliance Into Business Value

The People Readiness Index™ is a proprietary diagnostic framework built to assess how prepared your organisation is for growth, regulation, and acquisition. In 30 structured questions, it gives you a clear, validated snapshot of your leadership, governance, compliance, culture, and people operations — all mapped against the standards that matter most.

This version of the People Readiness Index™ is designed specifically for UK care providers, aligned with CQC, Care Inspectorate and Ofsted expectations.

If you’re outside the care sector and would like a tailored version for your business or franchise network, get in touch — we can adapt the framework to your context.

Whether you're preparing for regulatory inspection, investment, or rapid scaling, the Index reveals the strengths that set you apart and the vulnerabilities that could cost you ratings, reputation, or value.

What It Does

  • Provides an objective, evidence-led assessment of your people and compliance infrastructure

  • Highlights the gaps, risks, and blind spots leaders often miss

  • Benchmarks you against best practice, regulatory expectations, and growth standards

  • Converts complex HR and compliance performance into a simple, actionable readiness score

  • Enables confident strategic decision-making — before regulators, investors, or acquirers see the gaps

Why It Matters

Growing organisations often rely on assumptions: “HR is fine.” “We’re compliant.” “Culture is solid.” The People Readiness Index™ shows you the truth — clearly, quickly, and without the cost of a full consultancy project.

It turns HR and regulatory compliance into business value, helping you protect ratings, reduce risk, and build trust with investors, partners, and inspectors.
