A tailored course, built for your situation
Fix the HR Ops Spreadsheet That Breaks Every Monday
A 12-module system to automate and stabilize your recurring HR operations workflows, no coding required.
The situation this course is for
Every week, the same thing happens: a key HR operations spreadsheet fails, links break, tabs go missing, or data overwrites from mismatched versions. You spend hours Monday morning reassembling it, chasing down inputs, and validating outputs. Stakeholders get delayed. Reports go out late. And by Wednesday, you’re already bracing for next week. This isn’t a one-time fix. It’s a recurring operational tax on your time and trust.
Who this is for
HR operations professionals in mid-to-large tech companies who manage recurring people data workflows across systems and stakeholders.
Who this is not for
HR leaders focused only on strategy, recruiters, compensation specialists, or anyone not directly maintaining spreadsheets or trackers that break under weekly or monthly reuse.

- Replace fragile manual steps with repeatable, no-code automation triggers
- Build a version-controlled, stakeholder-ready HR operations template
