Navigating the Quagmire: Human Resource Issues for Small Businesses
Size does not insulate a small business from the human resource issues that national companies face on a daily basis. Elizabeth Cook and Joyce Fowler will lead this one-day session for small office managers focusing on three phases of employment: building your team the right way (recruiting and hiring), working in harmony (period of employment), and time to say goodbye (termination of employment). The session will include an introduction to employment laws, a discussion of communication styles, and community resources for help with specific issues. Drinks and snacks will be provided.
