Red Thread Project: a complete HR file covering recruitment, administration, development, climate and strategy

Red Thread Project — Building the HR toolkit — from recruitment to steering

Goal: build, for a real or fictional organization, an HR toolkit covering the whole cycle — from attracting talent to developing them, through administration and steering.
Materials: the HR cheat sheet below (duties, reflexes and benchmarks) to keep at hand. Reminder: legal rules depend on the country — always check local law.
Method: one step per level. We build concrete, reusable tools, keeping the dual concern of effectiveness and respect for people.

Describe your organization's HR duties, identify the applicable legal framework (local law, agreement), stakeholders and available tools/HRIS.

Write a job description, a job ad and a bias-free shortlisting grid; prepare a structured interview framework and an onboarding path.

Build administration tools: choosing the right contract, hiring-formalities checklist, time/leave tracking, and reading a payslip.

Build a mini training plan (needs → actions → funding → evaluation), and distinct annual and career review frameworks.

Spot sensitive legal points, prepare a QWCT/PSR-prevention approach and a conflict-management method; outline fair-pay logic.

Formulate an authentic employer-brand proposition, compliant data practices (GDPR), and a 5–6 indicator HR dashboard for steering.

Clear understanding of HR duties and the applicable legal framework (with the reflex of checking local law).
Objective recruitment tools (job description, bias-free screening, structured interview) and a structured onboarding.
Sound administration tools (suitable contract, formalities, time/leave, reading payroll) and a skills development plan.
A climate approach (QWCT, conflicts, pay equity) and strategic steering (employer brand, GDPR, indicators).
