HR Essentials Pack — Everything you need to get your HR foundations right
Everything a growing business needs to manage its people, in one ready-to-use pack.
Recruiting your first employees, growing your team or simply wanting to make sure your HR processes are in order? The Positive People HR Essentials Pack brings together the essential employment documents and people processes you need to confidently recruit, onboard and manage your employees.
Designed specifically for New Zealand businesses, the pack provides straightforward, easy-to-understand documentation and practical processes — without unnecessary complexity or HR jargon.
Having the right foundations in place from the beginning helps create clear expectations, supports a positive employee experience and gives you greater confidence that your employment practices are on the right track.
What’s included?
The HR Essentials Pack includes the key documentation and processes you need to manage the employee journey from recruitment through to induction.
Permanent Employment Agreement
A comprehensive, easy-to-understand employment agreement covering the essential terms and conditions of employment.
Job Description Template
A practical template to clearly define the responsibilities, expectations and requirements of each role within your organisation.
Code of Conduct
Set clear expectations around workplace behaviour and the standards expected of everyone in your organisation.
Six Essential HR Policies
Our pack includes six core policies covering:
- Health, Safety & Wellbeing
- Workplace Bullying & Harassment
- Social Media
- Information & Communication Technology (ICT)
- Flexible Work Arrangements
- Leave
The policies are designed to be practical and easy for employees and managers to understand and use.
Selection & Recruitment System
A straightforward recruitment process to help you approach hiring consistently — from defining what you need in a candidate through to making your selection.
Practical Induction Process
A structured induction process to help new employees get off to a great start, understand your organisation and settle into their role quickly.
HR made straightforward
The HR Essentials Pack is designed to take the uncertainty out of setting up your core HR processes. Instead of starting from scratch, you have the essential documentation and systems together in one integrated pack.
It’s particularly useful for small and growing businesses that may not have an internal HR team, or for managers who want a simple and practical way to strengthen their existing HR foundations.
And because every business is different, we also offer additional employment agreement templates, policies and access to on-call HR advice from our experienced consultants when you need further support.
Get your HR foundations in place
Good HR starts with getting the basics right. With the right employment documents, information and processes in place, you can recruit and onboard your people with confidence, allowing you to get on with running your business.
