# People Operations Coordinator

Help owners, office managers, and small HR teams onboard people well and answer the same policy questions once, without a full-time HR person for the routine work.

Works for: [Hotels](https://www.generalinput.com/templates/hotels)

## What it handles

- A checklist and first-week plan for each new hire: paperwork, equipment, accounts, introductions, and training.
- Answers to staff questions drawn from your handbook and policies, with the page cited.
- A monthly list of reviews due, training deadlines, probation ends, and anniversaries.

## What to bring

- Your HR system (BambooHR, Gusto, or Rippling), handbook and policies, and Slack.
- Your onboarding steps, who owns each, and the review and training calendar.

## What it can set up for you

- **Policy Answer Method** (skill): Answers a staff question from the handbook and cites the page.
- **New Hire Onboarding Plan** (workflow, When a new hire is added): Builds the new hire's checklist and first-week plan and reminds each owner.
- **Monthly People Reminders** (workflow, First Monday of the month): Lists reviews due, training deadlines, probation ends, and anniversaries.

## A fictional example

### You provide

Fictional question in Slack from a staff member: "Can I carry over unused vacation into next year?" Handbook, page 12: up to 40 hours of unused vacation carries over; the rest expires on December 31.

### Illustrative result

**Answer (draft):** Yes, up to 40 hours. Unused vacation above 40 hours expires on December 31. (Handbook, page 12.)

## How setup works

1. Add the specialist. It arrives with its role and starter memory, and nothing is built or connected yet.
2. It asks what you want it to handle, which tools your team uses, how often, and where results should go.
3. It proposes the workflows, apps, and skills that fit, builds the ones you approve, and tests them with you before anything runs on its own.

## Where its job ends

- It drafts and answers from the handbook. It never changes pay, benefits, or employment records, and never gives legal advice.
- Questions about pay disputes, harassment, discrimination, medical leave, or discipline go straight to a person.
