Almost every business needs a team, working together to make the goals of the business a reality. From part-time bookkeepers to full-time assistants, navigating the management of employees and contractors requires organization, tools, and a strategic plan. While team dynamics vary from business to business, ensuring that employees are communicating and engaging are essential components of success. In fact, according to a recent Gallup study, highly engaged employees show 21% greater profitability, which begs the question: how can you ensure your employees and contractors are engaged? 

West Business Development Center has the solution with its newest Human Resource workshop, People: The Art and Science of Managing Employees

Whether you are a sole proprietor with part-time help or manage several full-time employees, you will want to attend this NEW workshop. In this workshop you will:

  • Learn key components of managing employees, building systems, and prioritizing next steps

  • Understand what a People Strategy is, and learn three key People Strategy Systems

  • Create a plan to organize, manage, and develop your most precious resource; your employees and contractors. 

This workshop is taught by Rachel Clark who will show you how to bring your business development strategy and vision to your employees and create the professional partnerships you always wanted. Rachel Clark has been an EMyth Business Coach for 14 years, helping clients transform their businesses and lives using the tools, methodologies, and principles of the EMyth coaching program. 

Join us for this informative workshop and webinar series, offered in Fort Bragg, January 28th, and in Ukiah, January 29th, from 9:00-11:00 AM.
