Essential Onboarding & Compliance

Onboarding made simple. Compliance made clear. Confidence from day one.

Who it’s for

  • Owner-operators who wear the HR hat.

  • Office managers who inherited onboarding.

  • First-time supervisors who need people skills and compliance.

  • Growing teams adding their first 1–25 hires.

If that’s you, yes; this was built on purpose for you.

Quick Points

  • No HR? You’re not alone. 88% have worked somewhere with no HR; 65% of startups have none. HR Dive+1

  • Harassment training gap. ~47% of small businesses don’t offer it—still. TriNet

  • EEOC charges climbing. 81k (FY2023) → 88k (FY2024). EEOC+1

  • Safety is ROI. $1 in prevention ≈ $2+ return. OSHA

  • Onboarding drives retention. Structured onboarding = higher productivity and staying power.

Market benchmark

Most piecemeal compliance runs ~$75–$95 per employee/year (harassment + EEO + violence + basic records).

Essentials undercuts that; Plus matches or beats high end while adding ramp-up + SEL.

• 12 months of access/updates. Renew annually.

• Reassign seats to replacements anytime.

• Add seats anytime at $39/seat for the remaining term.

How it works

  1. Pick your package

  • Achiever Basic – workplace readiness + financial basics for small teams.

  • Achiever Plus – adds full Compliance Suite + state onboarding modules.

  1. Invite your team – add employees, assign the “New Hire” pathway.

  2. Track completion – see certificates, quiz scores, acknowledgments.

  3. Refresh annually – we keep updates current as laws evolve. You re-assign with one click. SHRM

Why this matters

  • Many small teams have no dedicated HR. 88% of workers have been at a small company with no HR person; 65% of startups have no HR department at all. That’s risk—legal and cultural. HR Dive+1

  • EEOC activity is rising. The EEOC logged 81,055 discrimination charges in FY2023 and 88,531 in FY2024 (+9% YoY). Prevention beats payouts. EEOC+1

  • Training gaps are common. Only ~53% of small businesses provide harassment/DEI training—leaving 47% exposed. TriNet+1

  • Safety is ROI, not just rules. CFOs report every $1 in injury prevention returns $2+, and OSHA tracks thousands of inspections and serious incidents yearly. OSHA+1

  • Bad onboarding costs you people. Strong onboarding boosts productivity and retention; poor onboarding drives early quits. newployee.com+1

Translation: if you’re small and scrappy, a ready-made, compliant onboarding path isn’t “nice to have”—it’s survival.

Certificate provided upon completion.

Each course includes certificates of completion, helping businesses demonstrate their commitment to professional development and legal compliance.
