Do you have a job to fill and need to find someone good? When it comes to firing, hiring and inspiring your employees, it pays to follow well acceptedemployment practices. A recent study showed that it costs from $10,000 to $20,000 to hire a new nonprofit employee taking into account advertising, interviewing, training and lost productivity. The cost of hiring and firing an executive will obviously be much higher. The good news is that many of these costs can be avoided by establishing sound employment practices.
In this session, we will cover topics such as the following:
- The do`s and don`ts of hiring and firing paid and volunteer staff
- Finding candidates with transferable skills and hiring employees from other sectors
-Tips for dealing with and avoiding high turnover and working with Generation Y
- How best to use employee evaluations to retain and release employees
- Classifying employees as Exempt/Non-exempt or employee/contractor
You will walk away with a clear understanding of how to invest in your staff, get them to invest in you, and when it is time for an employee to move on.
This session is intended for Executive Directors, Board Members, HR Directors and HR Managers
Cost: $110
Location: East Bank Club, 500 North Kingsbury Street, Chicago
