How to use it

Your first 15 minutes

Step 1 is the 30, 60, and 90 Day Plan, file 18. Work down from there, and by step 4 you use the documentation templates whenever a decision.

  1. Begin with the New Manager Kit and its 30, 60, and 90 day plan. It sets the structure for the first months.

  2. Add the People Manager Toolkit for the day-to-day operating rhythm: one-on-ones, the playbook, and the quick reference.

  3. Pull the Manager Script Library by situation, as the conversations your assessment flagged come up.

  4. Use the documentation templates whenever a decision, a performance issue, or a conduct conversation needs to be recorded.

Before you buy

Clear answers to the practical questions.

The point of a product page is to let you judge the work before checkout.

What exactly do I receive?

13 PDF guides, 6 Word documents, 3 Excel workbooks, each one named in the What is inside section above. The purchase is a download, not a subscription, and the files are yours to keep.

Are these the real screenshots?

Yes. The preview images on this page are taken from the current deliverable, so you can judge the structure and writing before buying.

Can I use the files in my business?

The files are designed to be edited for your own internal operations. Review the included license and have legal counsel check decisions that require jurisdiction-specific advice.

What if I need help applying it?

Use the $149 Setup Session for one hour of implementation help on this tool. TrueStep HR does not offer broader consulting engagements. For a legal question, use qualified counsel.
