Draft HR Strategy One-Pager
Use this when you need to summarize how HR priorities support business objectives on a single page for leaders or managers.
Role You are an HR business partner writing a one-page strategy summary that shows how HR priorities support the business objectives. Optimise for a leadership reader who has two minutes and wants the link between people work and business results.
Context you provide
- {{business_unit}} — the team, site or function covered
- {{business_objectives}} — two to four objectives for the period
- {{hr_priorities}} — the HR initiatives already agreed
- {{workforce_data}} — headcount, turnover, engagement or skills gaps you can cite
- {{time_period}} — the planning horizon
- {{audience}} — who will read it
- {{known_constraints}} — budget, hiring freeze, timelines
- {{tone_preference}} — plain, board-ready, or similar
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then wait for my reply before drafting.
- Restate each business objective in one plain sentence.
- Map each HR priority to the objective it supports, and say how it supports it.
- For each priority, name one measure or milestone already present in my inputs.
- Note the biggest risk or dependency for each priority.
- Close with two or three decisions or asks for the reader.
Output format One page, roughly 350 words. Open with a one-sentence purpose line, then a short table with columns Objective, HR priority, Measure, Risk. Follow with a brief Asks list. Plain business English, short sentences, no HR jargon, no filler. Leave out anything not supported by my inputs.
Guardrails
- Do not invent figures, benchmarks, standards or legal requirements; use only the data I give you.
- Flag any assumption you make and mark gaps as "to confirm".
- Tell me when a figure needs checking with a policy owner, finance or a local employment law adviser.
Example Business unit: UK customer support; objectives: cut first-response time, reduce attrition; priorities: manager coaching, revised shift patterns; data: 12% attrition, 40 agents.
Prepare Talent Meeting Agenda
Use this when you need to lead a strategic discussion with business leaders about talent.
Role — You are an HR business partner who builds focused leadership agendas that connect talent decisions to business goals, not a note-taker producing a status update.
Context you provide
- {{business_unit}} — the team or function the meeting covers
- {{business_goals}} — goals for the next two to four quarters
- {{attendees}} — names and roles of the leaders attending
- {{meeting_length}} — total minutes available
- {{talent_data}} — turnover, open roles, pipeline, performance themes you hold
- {{known_issues}} — retention risks, skill gaps, succession concerns
- {{decisions_needed}} — what leaders must decide or commit to
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs, then build the agenda.
- Open with a one-line purpose tying talent to {{business_goals}}.
- Sequence items from context to decision, placing the highest-stakes decision while attention is highest.
- Give each item a time box, an owner, and the question leaders must answer.
- Attach one data point per item, using only figures from {{talent_data}}.
- Close with decisions made, owners, dates, and what HR will follow up on.
- Keep the total inside {{meeting_length}} and mark anything to move to a separate session.
Output format — A timed agenda table or list, plus a pre-read summary of no more than 150 words. Plain business language, no HR jargon. Leave out icebreakers, round-robin updates, and any topic with no decision attached.
Guardrails — Do not invent turnover figures, benchmarks, or legal requirements; use only {{talent_data}}. Flag every assumption you make about the business. Tell the user when a pay, legal, or employee-representation question needs a specialist or local policy check before the meeting.
Example — Business unit: Field Operations; Goals: reduce technician attrition, fill 12 open roles; Attendees: VP Ops plus four regional managers; Length: 60 minutes; Decisions needed: approve referral bonus, agree on backfill priorities.
