the people operations template library.
forty-two senior built templates.
From investigation forms that hold up to scrutiny, to performance frameworks that actually move the needle, to onboarding plans that make new hires feel like they belong on day one.
built by a senior People Operations practitioner with more than a decade of 0→1 builds.

Most HR template products fall into two categories: free downloads from corners of the internet that read like they were written in 2008, or enterprise compliance kits that cost $3,000+ and are over-engineered for a company of 50 people.
The People Operations Template Library was built to fill the gap. Senior-built, designed for founder-led teams between 10 and 100 people, organized into four functional modules that cover the work that defines how People Operations actually runs day to day.
You get the structure of a senior practitioner's library without the price tag of senior consulting. Whether you're building People Ops from scratch, walking into a new HR role with no infrastructure, or quietly worried about how your current paperwork would hold up if a real situation came along, this is the library that answers that question.

Built for:
Founders building People Operations from scratch in teams of 10 to 100 employees
COOs and Heads of People who inherited HR with no infrastructure to build on
HR Managers walking into a new role and needing senior-quality starting points
Solo HR practitioners who need senior-built templates without senior-firm pricing
Teams who know their current HR paperwork wouldn't hold up if a real situation came along
Not built for:
Companies with a mature, fully-staffed People Ops function — you've already built what's in here
Teams under 5 people where formal HR truly isn't needed yet
Highly regulated industries needing specialty compliance kits (healthcare, finance, defense)
Anyone looking for legal counsel. These are starting frameworks, not legal advice
