Strengthen Your Business Through Your Culture,
HR Strategy and People Practices
The impact of COVID-19 has impacted us all. Many things, including many of the practices and processes we had in place in our business just a few weeks ago, no longer work the same way they used to.
The same goes for your HR and people processes and practices. If these were always “check-the-box” or “I’ll get to that later”, then we’re here to share that the time is NOW.
Join us for a FREE, two-part series “Strengthen Your Business Through Your Culture, HR Strategy and People Practices.”
In this series, we’ll take you through the key HR actions and considerations for your business, whether you have one employee or fifty. During these two sessions, we will guide you through ways in which business owners can ensure that their HR and people practices strengthen their businesses.
- Session 1 - September 24, 2020: Culture, Compliance Basics, and Recruiting & interviewing
- Session 2 - October 1, 2020: Hiring/Onboarding, Managing Performance, Engaging & Retaining Your Employees
Register once, and attend one or both sessions!
