Organisational Health Review (OHR)
OHR2
A focused Organisational Health Review for construction SMEs.
See what your workforce is experiencing, understand what may be creating avoidable pressure, and decide what to prioritise next. A proportionate review across one agreed subcontracting business, business unit or workforce population.
At a glance
- Who it's for
- Construction subcontractors and SMEs - roofing, groundworks, M&E, drylining, structural/steelwork, cladding, civil engineering, fit-out and other specialist or labour-intensive contractors.
- What it covers
- Workforce, management and leadership perspectives across one agreed subcontracting business, business unit or workforce population.
Suitability, scope and investment are confirmed after an initial conversation.
Three perspectives, triangulated into one picture.
Recurring themes are compared across all three before anything is reported as a finding.
Workforce reality
Financial pressure, poor sleep and fatigue, long hours and travel between sites, programme pressure, and conflicting or unclear responsibilities.
Operational conditions
Relevant organisational information, systems, processes, communication, workload and working conditions within the agreed scope.
Leadership reality
Absence, turnover, mistakes and conflict, strained client relationships, and supervisors or contracts managers carrying too much before problems become visible.
Six connected stages, each building on the last.
Progression is based on sufficient evidence and agreed access - not a fixed calendar.
Confirm the business or operational unit, agree the purpose, define the workforce population and agree the expected timetable.
You help confirm the business unit, population and available information.
Launch anonymous workforce reflection, confidential cross-role interviews, and gather leadership and management perspectives.
Review relevant organisational information, systems, processes, communication, workload and working conditions within the agreed scope.
Compare workforce, management and leadership perspectives, and separate recurring patterns from isolated comments.
Develop evidence-supported findings, build the workforce pressure map, and agree recommended actions and ownership.
Present the findings, deliver the final report and prioritised roadmap, and agree ownership and any separately scoped next steps.
Clear evidence. Clear priorities. A practical route forward.
