About this Event
In this interactive session Catherine and Gabriela from Forbes Solicitors will share their knowledge and experience from a legal and people perspective to showcase how you can ensure your people practices grow with you and even drive your business growth.
Getting things right as early as possible can ensure your business has a sound foundation.
Ensuring you have the right tools, processes and procedures in place now, will support you in the future.
Getting it wrong will set a precedent that is hard to shake in terms of branding, both in the public realm and also internally, not to mention financially.
Potential Investors routinely look for employment frameworks in their due diligence and shareholders will often seek transparency too.
Business startups often face difficulty in expanding their workforce from that original cohort of people, so during this session we’ll look at a number of key topics to support businesses:
· What is your business culture and why this matters.
· How to find the right people to add to and compliment your existing business.
· Address the pitfalls of recruitment and managing new hires, including new employment legislation coming up in 2024.
· How to set competitive pay and benefits to aide recruitment and retention.
· How to Introduce new people to established teams or working structures.
· How to develop a line management structure fit for growth.
· Key considerations for ensuring your employees are with you on the journey.
· Protecting your business from the inside out.
