Five-week Workshop - What Small Business Owners Need to Know About HR
from Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce
About this event
WHY THIS 5-WEEK WORKSHOP EXISTS
Most business owners learn HR the hard way.
A wrongful termination claim. A wage violation. A top employee who quietly leaves because nobody told you what they needed. An HR problem is almost always a business problem, and it almost always could have been prevented.
Sound familiar? You're probably asking questions like:
- Can I fire this person and how do I do it with less risk?
- What paperwork am I required to have on file right now?
- How do I give feedback that actually changes behavior?
- Why do my best employees keep leaving and what can I do about it?
This workshop is designed to give you real answers and tools.
What You’ll Learn
- HR compliance, wage and hour basics, worker classification, and at-will employment
- Effective hiring, interviewing, screening, and offer practices
- Onboarding, employee files, and 30-60-90-day planning
- Feedback, documentation, discipline, and termination conversations
- Recognition, rewards, and employee retention
