    Bench Strength by Glover & Co.

    Example session with this skill installed

    Only one person on my team knows how to run payroll. I have four people: Sarah runs payroll and client onboarding, Mike and Elena handle scheduling and quotes, and Jim does field ops. Sarah is a senior coordinator and the other three are coordinators. Build my bench board.

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the bench strength by

    Here is a first draft of your bench board. I guessed at a few things, so correct me in plain words and I will update it.

    Where the risk sits

    • If Sarah is out for two weeks, nobody can run payroll or onboard a client.
    • If Jim is out, nobody can cover field ops.
    • Sole-holder load: Sarah 2, Jim 1, Elena 1 (until Mike is confirmed on quotes).
    • Bench depth: 1. One absence takes half the team tasks to No one.

    Suggestions

    1. Make Mike the backup for payroll, marked Learning, ready by the payroll run after next. Shadow one run, then do one with Sarah beside him.
    2. Make Elena the backup for client onboarding, marked Learning, with a ready-by date after her third onboarding alongside Sarah.
    3. Confirm Mike on quotes. Could he price a job next Tuesday without calling Elena? If yes, that task meets your standard today.
    4. Give field ops a backup. Mike has the most room under his target once quotes is confirmed.
    5. Sarah carries the most alone. Before any of this, a stay conversation with her is the most important meeting on your calendar this month. I can give you the guide.

    One question

    Does Sarah's title come with a higher pay band than the coordinators? Band only, no amounts. It matters for the job title check once Mike and Elena are carrying payroll and onboarding.

    Tell me what to change and I will reprint the rows that moved. When the board is right, I can build the cross-training plan, the workload check for Sarah, and a team AI skills standard.

    What you get

    A draft bench board from your first message: every team task with one owner, one ready backup, and a coverage labelSingle points of failure, sole-holder load, and bench depth, in plain wordsFairness checks: whether two job titles really differ in the work, and why one plate looks lighter than its peersCross-training plans with ready-by dates, stay conversation guides, a team AI skills standard, and a 30/60/90 re-check

    About this skill

    Every team has a person everyone asks. A few years ago they fixed the spreadsheet. Today they're the one who knows how to make the AI tool behave. Bench Strength turns that risk into a plan.

    Give it your team in plain words and it builds a draft bench board from your first message: every team task with one owner and one ready backup, split evenly across job titles. You correct it in conversation while Claude suggests changes. Then it runs the checks that come with a board: whether two job titles really differ in the work, why one plate looks lighter than its peers, who carries a heavy load, and where knowledge sits with one person. It finishes with a cross-training plan, stay conversations for the people carrying the most, a team AI skills standard, and a 30/60/90 re-check.

    Built from thirteen years of in-house HR by Erin Glover, SHRM-SCP. Six reference files. Pairs with the Bench Board web app and the Critical Skills Matrix Excel workbook in The Bench Strength Kit at gloverco.ai/store/bench-strength. Educational, not legal advice.
