HR Workshop - HR Fundamentals - November 20

Join us on Friday, November 20 to learn from Andrea Bisenberger of Durham HR Solutions on the topic of HR Fundamentals!

Content Overview:

Companies face increasing challenges trying to understand and stay current on the ever-changing legislative requirements, especially as we are all navigating through a pandemic. Even at the best of times, the world of HR can sometimes be overwhelming and difficult to navigate on your own but knowing where to start is half the battle!  

Developing and executing your HR Fundamentals lays the critical foundation you need to establish the building blocks required to successfully scale your business.  As a first step, priority items include defining your workplace culture and understanding your compliance obligations so that you implement the policies that are right for your business. In addition to minimizing risk, proper policy documentation and implementation is critical for business success because it ensures your employees know your expectations and understand the rules of your operation.

Designing core fundamentals that reflect the company YOU WANT will help set you up for success now and into the future.  Moreover, well thought out policies will significantly increase your ability to attract, hire and retain top talent because they share your values.
