Session Instructor:
Maggie Walker-Nelson

No company can lead the competition without a dedicated and well-trained staff. Many companies have spent a great deal of time and resources trying to reduce the human element in the work place. Self-checkout and online banking have reduced some positions but have not eliminated the need for a component staff. Owners and managers feel constant stress and strain from annoying excessive “sick” days to frightening blunders that have major legal ramifications. You are not powerless, you have a choice.

• Hiring; even in a limited pool
  • Know what you can actually pay (simple math)
  • More Bang for your buck
  • Attracting the best talent
  • Better interviewing practices

  • Share the vision, crafting loyalty
  • They don’t know what they don’t know
  • Set expectations
• Promotion
  • Meetings; What are they good for?
  • Goal setting, Key Performance Indicators
  • Accountability
