Invest East Yorkshire and Invest Hull are jointly staging a series of free HR workshops to support small business owners.
The free workshops have been developed to enable small business owners to maximise their efficiency and effectiveness when managing people so that they can harness the full potential of their workforce, ensuring that they’re better positioned for sustainable growth and success. Course leader Helen said: “We know that human resources and dealing with people challenges can often fall to the bottom of the to-do list for time-poor small business owners. It’s just one of many different roles that they have to fulfil. However, it’s well worth devoting time to making sure you fully understand what’s required of you and have appropriate and effective policies and procedures in place. Dealing with people issues in the right way will help protect you and your business, legally and reputationally. “These free workshops are a great opportunity to boost your knowledge, and pick up some useful tips and insights. Don’t miss this chance to transform your approach to human resource management; register now for these empowering workshops and take a confident step towards success!” Taking place over the coming weeks, the workshops will cover a range of useful topics, including how to recruit with confidence; methods for managing sickness and absence; and performance management strategies. They will be held online and in person at venues across East Yorkshire, with the first one taking place at Brough Business Centre on Thursday 7th March, from 10.30am to 1.30pm.Sheffield’s still the real ale capital of the world as brewing industry drives tourism, says report
