Employee Experience
Day 1 ready. Actually ready.
FRAIM · new-hire-onboarding · fraim/ai-employee/jobs/
An engineering team was losing new hires in weeks 2–3 — not to competing offers, but to frustration. New hires spent 40% of their first 2 weeks waiting for tool access, onboarding calls that weren't scheduled, and documentation that pointed to outdated internal wikis.
The Problem
The onboarding checklist existed. It was a Google Doc last updated 8 months ago. Items were checked off as "complete" when the request was sent, not when access was granted. New hires arrived on Day 1 with no laptop setup, no Slack access, and a calendar full of back-to-back intro calls that left no time to actually do anything.
What HaRi Can Build
Rebuilt the onboarding system: completion-verified checklists (not just sent-confirmation), a personalized 30-60-90-day plan per role, automated welcome messages from the team, pre-scheduled 1:1s with the 5 people they'd work with most in week 1, and a "Day 1 Readiness" dashboard showing IT access status, GitHub invite status, and equipment delivery tracking.
Possible Outcome
With HaRi's onboarding system, teams can typically see "Day 1 readiness" scores rise from the 30s to the high 80s. Week-2 retention tends to improve alongside it, and HR coordination time can drop by around 6 hours per hire — freeing the people ops team for higher-leverage work.

People Development
Reviews that develop people, not just rate them
FRAIM · performance-review-preparation · fraim/ai-employee/jobs/
A 40-person company's bi-annual review cycle was producing 3-sentence reviews ("Good team player. Delivered on projects. Room to grow in leadership.") that gave engineers no actionable feedback.
The Problem
Reviews written by managers under time pressure become compliance exercises. The manager knows what they want to say — "she's strong but needs to improve cross-team communication" — but doesn't have time to find the 3 specific examples that would make that feedback credible and actionable.
What HaRi Can Build
Structured the review process: collected 360 input from the 5 people who worked most closely with each employee, surfaced the top 3 themes from the input (specific, quoted), drafted a performance narrative grounded in those quotes, and proposed specific development goals with measurable outcomes for the next cycle.
Possible Outcome
HaRi's performance review frameworks can grow average review quality from 3 sentences to 4 structured paragraphs. Employee satisfaction with feedback often rises from the low 50s to the low 80s — and when managers start producing genuinely differentiated assessments, it's a sign the process is working rather than producing consensus noise.

Performance Review Q1/Q2 2026
Technical depth ⬆
Cross-team comms ⚠
Delivery reliability ⬆
Lead one cross-team project with ≥2 stakeholders. Own the communication plan, not just the technical deliverable. Success measure: stakeholders rate comms 8/10+ in retrospective.
"Over H1 2026, [Employee] shipped 3 features to production on schedule — including the cache refactor which reduced p95 latency by 40%. The 360 feedback is consistent: peers trust her technical judgment, but two stakeholders noted that she tends to surface blockers late. The Q3 goal is specifically designed to build that muscle earlier in the cycle."

Total Compensation
Benefits package optimized. $18K saved per employee per year.
FRAIM · benefits-analysis-and-enrollment · fraim/ai-employee/jobs/
A 25-person startup was renewing its benefits package for the third year running with the same broker quote — a 14% premium increase with no analysis of alternatives.
The Problem
Benefits renewal is a default-to-status-quo decision because analysis is time-consuming. Most founders don't have the bandwidth to compare HSA vs. PPO plans, evaluate dental/vision add-ons, model COBRA implications, or understand which perks actually affect hiring and retention for their employee profile.
What HaRi Can Build
Ran the benefits analysis: modeled the employee population's utilization patterns against 3 plan options, calculated total cost (employer + employee), identified that 60% of employees were in the PPO plan but only 20% used benefits above the HSA deductible threshold — suggesting HSA+HDHP would save significantly — evaluated 4 broker quotes, and recommended a package that maintained coverage quality while reducing employer cost.
Possible Outcome
HaRi's benefits audit can typically recommend a package that reduces total cost by around $18,200 per employee per year — often through a hybrid approach like HSA+HDHP for the majority, with PPO retained for employees who need it. Employee satisfaction with benefits typically stays flat through the transition, so coverage quality doesn't have to be traded off against cost savings.

Note: Recommended HDHP+HSA package maintained dental/vision coverage and added $800 employer HSA contribution, partially offsetting the higher deductible for the 70% of employees with low utilization.
