Setting Policies for Small Business Success – Best Practices in Human Resources

Unless you work alone, you need to attend this event.

Just because your small business has only a few employees doesn’t mean you can ignore or forget about HR. This means dealing with employee problems and knowing about and staying in compliance with the myriad of employment regulations that exist today.

Often the small issues or annoyances with employees that you ignore can take on a life of their own. Many times each issue by itself doesn’t seem to be a big deal, after all, you’re busy with other more important things, and you hope it will just go away.

Unfortunately, some employee problems that start out small can take on a life of their own and become a really Big Deal that requires a whole lot of your attention. (Interesting how ignoring something –i.e. tardiness, dress code violations, personal cell phone abuse – can make it escalate, isn’t it?). We’ve all been there.

So what do you do?

This seminar will cover many real-life examples and how to deal with them. You’ll also learn:

  • Which employee policies are “must-haves”
  • When and how to document an employee’s performance
  • What to say in a “corrective action” meeting with a problem employee
  • When it is ok to terminate someone
  • She will also take questions from the group to illustrate HR best practices and problem-solving.
