What this closes

A practical system that moves the decision into real work.

Score the plant on the HR Audit Checklist first. Twenty minutes cold, and the gaps it finds become the order you install the five folders in.

How to use it

Your first 15 minutes

Step 1 is the Plant HR Audit Checklist, file 8. Work down from there, and by step 7 you put the calendar to work.

  1. Run the audit first. Open the Plant HR Audit Checklist and score where the plant stands today. It tells you which toolkit to open first and gives you the baseline you will measure against.

  2. Stand up the attendance system. Folder 1 is the fastest win: pick a preset, load the roster, and every shift runs the same standard within a week. Each folder has its own Start Here with the exact setup order.

  3. Equip your shift supervisors. Folder 2 puts the playbook, scripts, and documentation habits in the hands of the people who deal with attendance, conduct, and handoffs every day.

  4. Build the pay structure. Folder 3 prices your differentials the FLSA-correct way, builds your bands and ladders, and plans merit increases against a real budget.

  5. Hire to one standard. Folder 4 replaces gut-feel hiring with real job descriptions, skills checklists, and structured interviews scored the same way for every candidate.

  6. Onboard every hire the same way. Folder 5 runs pre-boarding through the 90-day review, with the signed safety orientation before anyone touches a machine.

  7. Put the calendar to work. Load the 12 Month Plant HR Calendar and let it pace the audits, reviews, and compliance checkpoints for the year ahead.
