Labor challenges have never been more difficult for small business owners. With so many employers competing for a shrinking pool of workers, attracting and retaining good employees has become a nightmare.
That’s why the Washington County Office of Workforce Development is partnering with Optima HR Solutions to bring an innovative new program to area small businesses to help them be more competitive in the labor marketplace.
Introducing Forge HR -- a cohort program for business owners to learn and deploy best practices that are proven to drive attraction, engagement, and retention of employees. Large companies have sophisticated HR departments to do this. We’re leveling the playing field to help you do the same.
The cohort will meet each month to go deep on an HR best practice. A seasoned corporate HR executive will teach the how-to, with step-by-step instructions, and provide a “kit” of practical tools to help you bring it to life in your business. In between sessions you’ll have help from an HR specialist to implement.
The cohort experience will deliver other benefits, as well. We’ll keep you current on the evolving labor landscape – trends, legal and regulatory changes, and other “hot” issues. As a confidential setting, we’ll be able to dig in and solve your thorny people challenges. And, as a group of peers, you’ll learn from each other.
Included in your membership…
• Monthly deep dive review and explanation of an HR best practice area. Examples include recruiting, performance management, compensation, benefits, training, developing leaders, etc.
• A take-home, ready-to-implement toolkit for each best practice area
• Implementation support from an HR specialist
• Any-time access to your group leader for ad hoc advice and support
• Access to an employment attorney consultation on emergent HR matters
• Peer group forum and expert advice for HR problem solving
• Regular updates on legal and regulatory changes
Gain confidence and peace of mind knowing that you’re not missing something or that you’ve done all you can to create a “special place to work.”
Cost to participate is only $450 per month, which will be invoiced at the time of each session. And, to encourage Washington County-based businesses to take advantage of this special opportunity, we are offering reimbursement for up to the first two-months for any who have been impacted by COVID. That’s a $900 value! Act now – seating is limited.
Registration and networking start at 9:30 with the program starting at 10:00. The room is available from 12-1 for networking or further discussion.
