Plant HR Manager Complete System
The five plant HR systems built to work together, plus the two tools that run them as one program: a 54-point plant HR audit that tells you where to start, and a 12-month calendar that keeps the whole thing running.
One-time purchase, no subscription. Instant download.
One price for the whole program. The five toolkits inside total $345 bought separately, and the two workbooks that run them are exclusive to this system.
Built to the TrueStep HR standard
- Five systems built to work together: attendance, supervision, pay, hiring, and onboarding, each the full standalone product, organized so they agree with each other instead of leaving you to make five separate fixes line up
- A 54-point audit that tells you where to start: the audit a sharp HR leader runs in their first 60 days: nine sections scored so you know exactly where the plant stands, with owners, target dates, and an honest evidence rule
- A 12-month calendar that keeps it running: four tasks a month plus a standing weekly rhythm one HR manager can run, tracked by category with progress rollups, so the gaps stay closed
- Two exclusives you cannot buy separately: the audit and the calendar are the tools that turn five toolkits into one program, and they exist only in this system
- Each toolkit still stands alone: if attendance is the fire today, start there and come back to the rest, with one license covering everything
The system gives you the five toolkits and the two tools that run them as one program. It is not a substitute for counsel, and attendance, leave, wage, and overtime rules vary by state and change over time, so have policies and pay decisions reviewed before you finalize them.

Five complete toolkits plus two exclusive workbooks under one license. Attendance, leave, wage, and overtime rules vary by state and change over time, so have policies and pay decisions reviewed against applicable law before you finalize them and before you rely on this.

Five toolkits and two tools that run them as one program
Five complete toolkits, each in its own folder with its own Start Here, plus two workbooks that exist only in this system, all under one license, with completed examples throughout and a short Google Sheets guide.
Manufacturing Attendance and Points System
The points tracker with three policy presets, the ready-to-adopt attendance policy, five supervisor conversation scripts, and four bilingual forms.
Shift Supervisor Toolkit
The playbook, quick reference, supervisor workbook, floor conversation scripts, and bilingual documentation forms for the leaders who run your shifts.
Compensation and Shift Differential Toolkit
Salary band builder, shift differential pricing that follows the federal overtime rule, wage ladders, a market check log, and the merit increase matrix with budget rollup.
Manufacturing Hiring Kit
The hiring field guide, operator and maintenance job descriptions, hands-on skills checklists, structured interview guides with score sheets, and a bilingual application, so the floor hires on one fair standard.
Plant Onboarding System
The field guide and onboarding workbook for the first 90 days, the signed safety orientation pack, the day-one floor checklist, the buddy program guide, and editable templates.
Plant HR Audit Checklist
The 54-point audit a sharp HR leader runs in their first 60 days: nine sections from hiring to separation, scored by section so you know exactly where the plant stands, with owners, target dates, and an honest evidence rule.
12 Month Plant HR Calendar
The operating cadence that keeps it running: four tasks a month plus a standing weekly rhythm one HR manager can run, tracked by category with progress rollups.
From five fires at once to one program you can run
The audit tells you where the plant stands and which folder to open first, each toolkit closes the gap in front of you, and the calendar keeps the gaps closed through the year.
Run the audit first
Score where the plant stands across nine sections, and the audit points you at the toolkit that closes your biggest gap; the root Start Here walks the full seven-step order.
Open the folder that closes the gap
Each toolkit is the full standalone product in a numbered folder, so you work the fire in front of you with the same workbooks, scripts, and bilingual forms, with completed examples throughout.
Keep it closed with the calendar
Run the 12-month calendar, four tasks a month plus a weekly rhythm one HR manager can hold, so the audits, reviews, and compliance checkpoints stay paced through the year.
Five toolkits become one program
A plant HR manager, or the plant manager doing the job without one, inherits five fires at once, and buying five disconnected fixes leaves you to make them agree with each other. This system is the five built to work together, plus the two tools that run them as one.
The rule behind thisWhat turnover costs in a plant ›Who it is built for
Who the system fits, and where to go if your need is something else.
Built for
- A new plant HR manager, or a plant manager doing the job without one, who inherited five fires at once.
- A 20 to 500 employee manufacturer that wants one program instead of five disconnected fixes that do not line up.
- A leader who wants to know where the plant stands before deciding where to spend the next 60 days.
If your need is different
- Only one fire today? Start with the Manufacturing Attendance and Points System and add the rest later.
- Hiring is the gap? The Manufacturing Hiring Kit runs the job description, skills checklist, structured interview, and bilingual application on its own.
