HR for non-HR folks!

October 7th, 2009

(At Provender Conference in Bellingham, WA)

Do you dream of having a dedicated Human Resources Department?  Are you a supervisor who is ready for the next management challenge?  Maybe you are not sure of the difference between the FMLA and the FLSA.  Many small business leaders are absolutely certain that at this very moment you are breaking some state or federal law, even if you don’t know which one.  This daylong intensive is meant to help reduce your anxiety and give you tools and resources to get going in the right direction.  Throughout the day, plan to attend 4 information-packed seminars led by industry experts.  In addition, participate in networking opportunities with your peers in the natural food industry and contribute to the idea percolator.  This pre-conference intensive is ideal for small business owners, supervisors, general managers, non-HR managers, and HR department staff.

For more info contact Cheryl Good cherylrgood@gmail.com or 541.757.7334.

What does your business do well?

Do you have a training success story to share?  Have you found outsourcing HR duties to work well for you?   Do you know what you do well with regards to staffing or staff recognition?  Take the time to send your ideas to Provender and we will include your ideas in a summary of the top natural food HR ideas.   You will get a free copy just for participating.    In addition, the summary will be available to participants of the HR intensive at Provender Conference this year.
