Small businesses and startups often handle HR without a full HR department or the budget for one. This 60-minute HR basics webinar covers the nuts and bolts of human resources for small businesses and people who are new to HR.
You'll look at developing policies and organizational best practices, managing and measuring performance, and driving engagement while building a healthy culture. The session also explains your legal obligations, how to assess HR risk, and how to guide and develop the leaders in your organization.
It works as a concise, practical reference for anyone who has picked up HR responsibilities and wants to know what to do and what to avoid.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
People with limited HR experience and few resources still need to handle core HR processes and requirements in a new or growing business. Getting the basics wrong can lead to costly legal problems later.
This session suits small business owners, entrepreneurs, startup founders, operations, finance and office managers, one-person HR departments and anyone with HR responsibility who wants to lay a solid foundation.
