HR Open Forum - Virtual Live Meeting
Got questions? Sure you do! Businesses have been blindsided this year and navigating the ''new normal'' is not for the faint of heart. As staff continues to expand and contract to meet changing business needs, new employment laws are enacted and sunset, and expectations about how to get work done are constantly coming at us - it's no wonder we have HR fatigue!
Let's come together and talk all things HR. Sharon DeLay, President of GO-HR will facilitate and address HR issues you are currently facing in your family business. We'll share best practices, must-knows and be the empathetic ear we all need right now.
Topics such as remote working/productivity, employee health and well-being, best practices for encouraging diversity and inclusion in your workplace … just to name a few. Join us for this live interactive meeting to find practical advice around tackling the challenges you are facing.
*Important Note: Because we want this to be interactive, this session will be a Zoom Meeting (same format as our peer groups) with audio/video enabled for all who join. Note that if you do not have video capability, you are still welcome to participate. This session will NOT be recorded.

Leadership: What has Changed and Why It Matters
It would not be a leadership discussion without discussing the massive change we have experienced recently. In order to be effective leaders, we must understand the factors and trends that impact the people we lead in order to best serve their needs and the needs of the business. This creates a common sense of why leadership matters in the first place by answering the question - what problems should we as leaders be trying to solve??
In this session, we will look at data and trends and hear from our fellow professionals the challenges that we all face and why leadership can help us solve them.
Facilitator Jonathon McKay with PATH will lead these leadership sessions focusing on the most relevant challenges and opportunities for your business today. This is a very collaborative group that encourages peer-to-peer sharing.
Generously sponsored by Park National Bank
