Employee Onboarding, Training & Development, Goal Setting

From offer letter to first appraisal, done properly

A new hire's first ninety days decide whether they stay. We build the onboarding, training and goal-setting system so that every employee knows what is expected and how they are doing.

What this service is

Small companies usually hire well and then improvise. The offer letter is a forwarded template, PF enrolment happens whenever someone remembers, the new person learns the job by watching, and the first honest conversation about performance happens when something has already gone wrong.

This service replaces improvisation with a system that fits your size. We set up the documents, the day-one statutory enrolment, the induction and the check-ins for new joiners. We assess what training your team actually needs and deliver it. And we design goals and appraisal cycles that a ten-person company can run without an HR department.

Everything is built to be run by you afterwards. We document the process, train whoever will own it, and stay available for the first cycle.

Who it is for

  • Companies hiring beyond the founding team

    When the owner can no longer personally induct every new person, a repeatable onboarding process is what keeps quality consistent.

  • Businesses with high early attrition

    People who leave in the first three months usually leave because of a poor start. Structured onboarding with 30-60-90 day check-ins changes that.

  • Teams that have never had formal appraisals

    If increments are decided by gut feel, both you and your employees are guessing. KRAs and a simple appraisal cycle make the conversation fair and defensible.

  • Employers with POSH and compliance training obligations

    Workplace sexual harassment awareness and other mandatory training needs to be delivered, recorded and repeatable. We run it and keep the records.

The first ninety days, mapped

This is the default onboarding journey we install. It is adjusted per role and per company, but the check-in points stay.

  1. 1

    Before day one

    Offer, documents, enrolment

    Appointment letter issued, documents verified, PF and ESIC enrolment initiated so that deductions and cover start from the first salary.

  2. 2

    Day 1

    Induction

    Policies, systems access, team introductions, and a written explanation of the role and its first-month goals.

  3. 3

    Day 30

    First check-in

    A structured conversation with the manager: what is clear, what is not, what support is needed. Recorded and followed up.

  4. 4

    Day 60

    Second check-in

    Early performance signals against the first KRAs. Training gaps identified and scheduled.

  5. 5

    Day 90

    Confirmation review

    Probation confirmation decision made on evidence, not memory, with a confirmation letter or a clear improvement plan.

How the engagement works

  1. 1

    Diagnostic

    Week 1

    We review what you have today: letters, policies, how new joiners are handled, how increments are decided. You receive a short gap list with priorities.

  2. 2

    Design

    Weeks 2 to 3

    We draft the onboarding checklist, the handbook, the KRA framework or the training plan, depending on scope. Everything is reviewed with you before it is finalised.

  3. 3

    Roll-out

    Weeks 3 to 6

    Policies are communicated to staff, managers are briefed on their role, and training sessions are scheduled and delivered.

  4. 4

    First cycle support

    Ongoing, as agreed

    We stay involved through the first onboarding batch, the first training block or the first appraisal cycle, and adjust what does not work in practice.

What you receive

  • Offer and appointment letter templates specific to your business
  • Onboarding checklist and induction deck your team can run without us
  • Employee handbook and policy set with acknowledgement forms
  • Training calendar, session materials and attendance records
  • KRA or OKR sheets for every role plus appraisal forms and a manager guide
