Make good HR easier to follow

Clear, commercially practical HR advice
Visual, easy-to-follow workflows Clear roles and ownership Fewer gaps and hand-offs Processes built around your business
Practical employer support
You cannot improve a process until you can see it clearly.
HR processes often grow informally as a business expands. The result can be duplicated work, unclear approvals, missing records and managers relying on memory rather than a dependable route.
Process mapping creates a shared visual picture of what happens, who owns each step, what information is needed and where delays or risks appear. We then work with you to design a simpler future process.
Processes worth mapping include:
- Recruitment and onboarding
- Contract and employee changes
- Absence and return to work
- Performance and capability
- Disciplinary and grievance cases
- Leavers, approvals and record keeping

Does the situation need a workplace investigation?
Workplace investigations are a valuable workflow to map because independence, evidence handling, communication and decision roles must remain clear. Dekela can design that process and provide independent delivery when needed.

HR Process Mapping questions, answered.
For advice about a live situation, speak to our team in confidence.
What is HR process mapping?
It is a visual representation of an HR workflow showing steps, decisions, ownership, information and hand-offs from the starting point through to the outcome.
Which process should we map first?
Start with a high-volume, high-risk or frustrating process where delays, repeated questions or inconsistent outcomes are already visible.
Will we receive an actual visual process map?
Yes. The output is designed to be usable by your organisation and can be supported by written guidance, responsibilities and implementation recommendations.
Is process mapping a one-off project?
It can be delivered as a defined project, but processes should be reviewed when systems, roles, legislation or business needs change. Dekela can also support ongoing improvement.
