Thank you to Sally Avent, ADDA, for today’s presentation on human resources! Outsourcing HR services may be for you if you have built your empire from the ground up but you have expanded and hired more team members and the complexities of managing human resources are now knocking on your door.
Sally shared a little about herself as well as highlighted 2024 compliance changes that are already in effect and coming down the pike. She is willing and ready to help her fellow Execs with all HR needs and questions!
Notes from your executive director:
SAVE THE DATE! Execs will have our holiday party on December 5 at the Garden of the Gods Club. There will be a charge for non-members (as usual) and a set of deadlines to follow for RSVP. Watch for more information later, but put it on your calendar now! :)
