The Basics of Human Resources

Small business owners do a little bit of everything. The job description encompasses a never-ending variety of tasks, and you frequently learn on the job–which can be the best kind of training there is. But when it comes to HR, a little guidance might be necessary to make sure you are staying on the right side of the law. This three-hour workshop will teach you the basics of HR best practices and what you need to know to be sure you are fulfilling your obligations as an employer.

What To Expect:

• All participants will receive a follow-along workbook to take notes, follow instructions, and complete exercises during the session.
• Participants will also get a free toolkit - a collection of templates, forms, worksheets, and other resources that will be made available at the end of the class.
• There will be time for Q&A with the instructor and we will take breaks during the session to give you a chance to check email, grab a water or to networks with other participants.

This workshop is eligible for the City of Austin Small Business Skills Certificate program. Participants who complete six courses in the program are recognized in an awards ceremony with other local business and community leaders.
