JOIN US FOR OUR NEXT LUNCH WORKSHOP, EXPLORING HR STRATEGIES TO HELP YOU MANAGE YOUR TEAM WITH CONFIDENCE.

Running a small business means wearing every hat – including the HR hat, even when nobody signed up for it. Every hiring decision, every performance conversation, and every termination lands directly on your desk, with real legal and financial consequences if you get it wrong. This workshop is built specifically for that reality.

We’ll walk through the full employee lifecycle: recruiting, onboarding, day-to-day management, compensation, conflict, and yes, the hard conversations, and boil each stage down to what actually matters when you don’t have a dedicated HR team. No dense theory, no jargon. Just the practices, checklists, and legal tripwires that determine whether your business grows and runs smoothly or gets blindsided by an avoidable dispute.

You’ll leave knowing:

• How to hire and interview without stepping on a legal landmine

• Why even a five-employee business needs a real handbook (and what belongs in it)

• How to give feedback that actually helps, and catch performance issues early

• What Ontario employment law expects when it’s time to part ways with an employee

• The six things worth having in place, no matter what your headcount is

Whether you’re hiring your first employee or your fifteenth, this session is designed to leave you feeling more prepared and ready to handle managing a team with confidence.

Tickets include your choice of a delicious lunch and a non-alcoholic beverage.
