Practical HR Tools for People Who Do It All

SDF.LizMentor.com is a free training and resource platform designed for solo HR officers, office admins, and founders managing SDF Function without a full department behind them.

We provide ready-to-use templates, checklists, and short-form training that reflect real South African SDF realities — no theory, no bloat, and no need for fancy systems.

Built by Someone Who's Been There

I’m Liz, and after nearly 30 years in HR, L&D, and Skills Development, I created this platform to support the people I wish someone had supported when I started: the ones doing HR on their own.

From WSP submissions and onboarding to policies and training plans — I’ve done the work, trained the learners, and designed the systems. This site shares what I’ve learned, what works, and what will help you grow with confidence.

No Sales Pitches. Just Real Support.

This isn’t a consulting agency or a service provider site. It’s a place to learn, download, and build at your own pace.

This space is for empowering HR practitioners and business builders, not selling to them

Let’s Build Your SDF Function — Not Just Fill Out Forms

You don’t need a full HR department to lead well.

You just need structure, support, and someone who gets what it’s like to grow while still figuring things out.
