What we publish
RoyGroundUp has four kinds of content: one-minute leadership lessons, longer written guides, free manager tools and calculators, and practice games in the arcade. All of it is aimed at people who have recently become managers or who lead small teams. It is free to use, and none of it is sponsored.
How a lesson or guide is written
Every lesson starts with a situation managers meet often and usually handle slightly wrong, such as the vague compliment, the rushed one-to-one or the “let’s take this offline” that never comes back. We then pin down one habit that can be tried the same day, the words to say, and the reason it works. Each lesson is followed by a one-question quiz that checks the idea, not the wording. Longer guides combine several of these habits around one topic and add worked examples, common mistakes and answers to the questions people ask most.
Lessons, guides and tools are written and maintained by the RoyGroundUp team with the help of AI writing tools, and are read through and tested before they are published. We do not present AI output as personal experience, and we do not invent quotes, statistics or case studies.
Where rules and numbers come from
Pages about employment rules and pay in Singapore and Malaysia are built from the official sources and name them on the page: the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and CPF Board in Singapore, and KWSP (EPF), PERKESO (SOCSO and EIS) and the Employment Act 1955 in Malaysia. Each of those pages says when it was last checked. Rates and thresholds change, so treat our calculators as a quick estimate and confirm the figure with the official source or your payroll provider before you pay someone.
Calculators that are not about law, such as the meeting cost and cost of hire calculators, show their formula and use the numbers you type in. Any example figures on those pages are illustrations, not averages.
What this is not
The content is general guidance for everyday leadership situations. It is not legal, HR, tax, medical or other professional advice, and your contracts, company policies and local laws may say something different. For decisions that affect someone’s job, pay or health, check with your HR team or a qualified adviser.
Corrections and updates
If something is out of date or wrong, email [email protected] with the page address and what looks wrong. Corrections to rules and figures are made as soon as we can confirm them against the official source, and the page’s “checked” date is updated when we do. Older lessons are revisited as the library grows.
Advertising and independence
Some pages may show advertising provided by Google. Advertisers do not see or influence what we write, and we do not accept payment for links, placements or reviews. The arcade games never show ads. See the privacy policy for how analytics, ads and your data are handled.
