Members-only by design
Every document and directory entry sits behind authenticated, role-scoped access. No anonymous eyes.
Who it's for
Whatever your role looks like at the club.
The department of one.
You handle payroll, policy, onboarding, compliance, and employee relations — usually before lunch.What they getA standing brains-trust and a library of work other clubs have already refined. Stop inventing from scratch.
Supporting HR as the generalist.
No dedicated HR team. You're the GM and the de-facto HR lead, making compliance calls between member emails.What they getPlain-language compliance guides and peer advice so you can make the right call without waiting on outside counsel.
Managing people across sites.
Several clubs or properties under one HR function. You standardize policy, but each property has its own quirks.What they getTemplates scoped by club type, a network of directors at peer properties, shared playbooks that translate.
