Human Resources has a role in every business, including start ups. Ignoring people issues can hold companies back. According to an 8 year study by Stanford Project on Emerging Companies, companies factoring HR into their strategic planning were the least likely to fail and the fastest to go public. Strong HR decisions create competitive advantages as your company benefits from hiring the right people at the right time and creating a culture where people grow professionally and stay committed to the company. Join us for a conversation about how to efficiently factor several critical HR issues relevant for all business leaders: How do I find and hire the right people at the right time? What legal requirements do I have as an employer? What do I do when someone is not meeting my expectations? How do I handle misconduct at work? Are there best practices that can help me build a strong, productive culture? We will answer these questions and also have some time to discuss your people-related concerns, so please bring your questions for our speakers: Paula Zimmerman, the Founder and Principal Consultant of PJ Zimmerman Advisors, a Human Resources consulting firm building equitable, sustainable workplaces across the United States by partnering with business leaders to develop policy and compliance strategies, employee relations programs, investigation practices, and conflict resolution processes.
