StartSmart

Get New Hires Off to a Flying Start

For managers who want to support new team members with structure, clarity and confidence.

Hiring the right person is only step one – setting them up for success is where the real work begins. Poor onboarding and vague probation processes can undo a great hire before they’ve had the chance to thrive.

StartSmart helps you manage early-stage performance proactively – so new hires feel supported and you get the clarity you need to make informed decisions.

Designed for Managers Who Want Retention And Results

This isn’t just about ticking boxes. It’s about building the habits that help new starters settle, succeed and stick around – even when managers are short on time.

What’s Included

StartSmart provides structured support across the critical first months:

  • Month 1 Objective Planning – Helping You Define Success Early.

  • 5x Monthly Coaching Check-Ins For The Manager (15 Minutes Each) – Quick, Focused Support.

  • Manager Guide & Check-In Script – Make Every Conversation Clear And Effective.

  • Probation Tracker – Simple Tool To Keep Progress Visible And On Track.

  • 2x Probation Review Letter Templates – Ready-To-Use Language For Confirming Or Extending Probation.

It’s designed to make probation management easier – not more admin-heavy.

Optional Extras

  • Co-Facilitation of Probation Review Meetings – added support for sensitive conversations.

  • Performance Improvement Plan Templates – for early-stage underperformance.

  • 45-Minute Line Manager Coaching Session – build skill and confidence in early-stage management.
