Built around the work from hire to exit
The system is grouped into eight areas that follow the employee lifecycle. Here is what each area covers and the kits inside it, plus a one-page Start Here and a program guide that maps the HR year to the tool that handles it.
Hiring and Onboarding
Write the role, post the pay, keep candidates warm, and run a real first 90 days. The JD, Classification and Pay Transparency Kit, the New Hire Onboarding and 30-60-90 Kit, the Candidate Ghosting Prevention Kit, and the Employee Referral Program Kit.
Managing People and Performance
Equip managers for the daily calls, and run fair reviews and calibration. The People Manager Toolkit, the Performance Review and Calibration Toolkit, and the Training Matrix and Certification Tracker.
Compensation and Pay
Build salary bands, plan merit, and check internal pay equity. The Compensation Toolkit.
Policy and Compliance
Set the handbook, know your federal obligations, and govern HR AI. The Small Business HR Policy Starter Pack, the HR Compliance Calendar and Document Audit Kit, and the AI in HR Policy and Risk Checklist.
Employee Relations and Leave
Handle complaints and investigations, leave and accommodation, and discipline. The Employee Relations and Workplace Investigations Kit, the Leave and Accommodation Kit, and the Discipline and Termination Decision Kit.
Retention and Restructuring
Keep your people, and run a defensible reduction if one comes. The Retention and Stay Interview Action Kit and the RIF and Restructure Planning Kit.
HR Operations
Hold the records, the forms, and the systems that keep the rest running. The HR Operations Binder.
HR Metrics and Cost Analysis
Put a number on hiring, staffing, turnover, absence, and a reduction. The Recruiting Analytics Pack, the Workforce Planning Pack, the Turnover and Absence Cost Pack, and the RIF and Restructuring Savings Planner.
Two ways to start depending on where you are
Stand up HR from scratch in a sensible order, or solve the one problem in front of you today. The program guide lays out both.
Read the Start Here, then the Program Guide
One page tells you what is inside and the order to use it. The program guide maps every part of the HR year to the tool that handles it.
If you are building HR from scratch
Work the lifecycle in order: get hiring and onboarding clean, equip your managers, set pay and policy, then stand up the sensitive systems and the metrics layer.
If you have one problem today
Open the area that matches it. A leave request goes to Employee Relations and Leave, a pay question goes to Compensation, a reduction goes to Retention and Restructuring.
Document as you go
A guide tells you what to do, an editable template gives you the words, and a workbook does the math or holds the record. Use all three on every decision so you have the paper trail later.
One toolkit for the whole HR job, honest about its limits
Every kit was built to the same standard and reads as one product line: the same plain language, the same clean templates, the same honest framing.
Where the system stops and counsel starts
The system organizes the work and prepares your decisions. The moment a decision carries legal weight, the kits mark the handoff. These are the points to route to qualified employment counsel.
Who does what
The system does the preparation. You make the calls and keep the records, and counsel handles the legal weight. Here is the split.
- The system gives you the tool; you run the work. A guide, a template, and a workbook for each task. The decisions stay yours.
- The system does the math; you set the numbers. The workbooks calculate and the trackers hold the record. The figures themselves are business decisions.
- The system marks the legal checkpoints; counsel rules on them. Every kit flags where to slow down. The close calls are legal calls.
- The system keeps the record, and the record is the point. Documented decisions, dated, are the difference between a clean answer and a scramble.
Who it’s built for
Who this fits, and where to go if that’s not you.
Built for
- A small business or a startup standing up HR for the first time, where one or two people run the whole function.
- An HR team of one who is tired of buying tools a piece at a time and wants the whole catalog, to one standard, at one price.
- An operator or owner who needs a working tool, the words, and the math for every common HR task, without a large department behind them.
If you are looking for
- State or country specific posting rules. The system covers the federal baseline; add the US State Pay Transparency Pack, the Ontario pack, or the EU line for where you hire.
- One specific tool, not the whole system. Every kit and pack is sold on its own, so browse the full catalog and buy only what you need.
