Hire without chaos

Employee Onboarding System

Take a new cleaner from accepted offer to working independently, clearly and consistently.

16 resources for onboarding cleaners in a residential cleaning business: pre-start setup, a structured day one and first ten shifts, standards and home-access training, an independent-work sign-off, 30/60/90-day check-ins and a crew-lead readiness assessment. Operational onboarding only — no employment contracts or legal forms. Each resource is supplied as an editable DOCX and a PDF, with a Start Here guide.

Frequently asked questions

Does this include employment contracts?
No, deliberately. Employment agreements and legal forms vary by jurisdiction and should come from a qualified professional. This system covers the operational side of onboarding.
Will it work for part-time or seasonal cleaners?
Yes. Keep the pre-start, day-one and readiness documents intact and compress the 30/60/90 check-ins to match the engagement.
How quickly can I use it?
Add your business name, adjust the equipment, supply and access details, and it is ready for your next start date.
Is it a one-time purchase?
Yes. No subscription and no account — the download link is issued after checkout.

Performance Review Template

A performance review template gives a small team a fair, repeatable structure for a review conversation: what the person is accountable for, what actually happened with evidence, what they should keep doing, what needs to improve, and the two or three commitments for the next period..
