HR Hero - HR from Zero - US — Starter Bundle for First HR Hires | People Stack Now
The first HR hire at a growing company inherits a blank canvas — and the pressure to build everything at once while the business keeps moving. This bundle gives them the foundation: the most important documents from every category of the suite, selected for the specific priorities of an HR function being built from the ground up.
Twenty documents covering the essentials across every stage of the employment lifecycle: Code of Conduct and five foundational policies (Confidentiality & NDA, Acceptable Use, Data Protection, Health & Safety, Equal Opportunities), core hiring documents (JD Guide, Interview Question Bank, Scorecards, Offer Communications), the onboarding essentials (30-60-90 Day Plan, HR Onboarding Plan), the performance management core (Performance Management Template, Annual Review Template, PIP Guidelines), the employee relations foundations (Grievance Procedure, Disciplinary Procedure), the HR Compliance Guide for all jurisdictions, and a single jurisdiction-appropriate employee handbook.
Also includes the HR KPI Dashboard — an Excel dashboard tracking 14 monthly metrics with automated YTD summary cards, so the new HR function can start measuring and reporting from day one. The combination of documentation infrastructure and measurement capability gives a first HR hire the foundation to be credible, compliant, and commercially impactful from the start.

FAQs
Q Who is the HR from Zero bundle designed for?
It is designed for two closely related buyers. The first is a founder or operator who has reached the point where they know their HR infrastructure is behind where it needs to be — often prompted by a new hire asking about a policy that does not exist, an investor asking about HR documentation at due diligence, or a headcount milestone (typically around ten to fifteen people) where informal people management is no longer sustainable. The second is a first HR hire who has joined an organisation with little or no existing HR infrastructure and needs to build it quickly across multiple areas without starting from scratch on every document.
Q What does 'from zero' mean in terms of what is and is not included?
HR from Zero covers the most critical document from every category of the suite — the essentials that any HR function needs to have in place before adding more specialised resources. It does not include every document in every category (that is the Complete Suite), but it includes the ones that matter most in the first phase of building: six core policies, the key hiring documents, the essential onboarding framework, the core performance management tools, the foundational ER procedures, the compliance guide covering all jurisdictions, one jurisdiction-appropriate employee handbook, and the HR KPI Dashboard to start measuring from day one. It is a curated starting point, not a comprehensive library.
Q How is this different from the Complete Suite?
The HR from Zero bundle is a curated selection of twenty essential documents and one dashboard — the most important document from each area of the suite, selected for a business that is building its HR function for the first time. The Complete Suite is the full library — 65+ documents and 6 dashboards across every category. HR from Zero costs $229; the Complete Suite costs $549 and saves 65% versus individual prices. If you know you need comprehensive coverage across all areas and you have the budget, the Complete Suite is the better purchase. If you need to build quickly with the most important documents first and expand over time, HR from Zero is the right starting point.
Q Does this bundle include the policies I need or do I need to buy those separately?
The bundle includes the six Startup Policy Foundation policies (Code of Conduct, Confidentiality & NDA, Acceptable Use, Data Protection, Health & Safety, and Equal Opportunities). These cover the baseline legal obligations and commercial protections. The Ethics & Governance Kit policies (Anti-Bribery, Conflicts of Interest, Whistleblowing, Social Media, Inventions, AI Usage) and the People & Wellbeing Kit policies (Mental Health, Parental Leave, Remote Working, Expenses, Share Option, Pay Transparency) are not included — they can be added individually or as kits as the business grows, or you can upgrade to the Complete Suite for the full policy library alongside everything else.
