HR Basics: 10 Basic HR Requirements for Small Business

When you’re running a small business, there are so many things to take care of—sales, marketing, product development, etc.—not to mention the very important task of trying to make a profit and stay in business.

With all of that to worry about, human resources (HR) work can sometimes skip down the list of priorities. And that’s really not a good idea because there are some very important HR basics that every small business should be taking care of. Remember, the biggest expense and problem you will ever have in business is employees.

So, not to worry. This workshop, hosted  by SCORE, will go through the 10 basic HR activities that every small business owner should know about and do, especially compliance. Although a high-level workshop, it will cover the needed basics, provide tools to take away, and answer questions to put you on the path to compliance.
