Almost every business requires a team to help it grow and be successful. Even those who run a solo business need to understand the best practices for human resources.
From hiring a website designer to permanent part or full-time employees, navigating personal requires thorough knowledge. In addition, knowing how to hire for the job you need to be done can make the difference between smooth sailing or months of frustration and starting the hiring process all over again.
Over 80% of employers believe attracting and retaining talent is a growing challenge. So how do you go about hiring and keeping the right employees? Whether you are a sole proprietor or run a business with employees, West Business Development Center (West BDC) has a new Human Resources 101: Workshop & Webinar Series that will provide key insights into the importance of Human Resources to your business.

This workshop is taught by human resource specialist Lisa McCormack of Affogato Consulting. With Lisa McCormack’s long experience of helping businesses in the development of HR programs, you will understand how you can grow your company.
