With record-low unemployment and new regulations coming into play, 2020 will be one of the more difficult years for employers looking to hire. Not only do you have to find quality people from an ever-shrinking talent pool, but you will likely have to pay them more and fend off your competitors who are looking to take away top talent. 

If your business is planning to grow in 2020, you have to start preparing now to find and hire the right employees. But many small business owners just don’t know where to start. 

If you’re like most people, you probably start looking for someone to hire when you find out (ahead of time or not) that you have a vacancy to fill. But really, a successful new hire starts long before you need someone right now. 

Effectively hiring a new employee takes knowhow and foresight, not to mention carefully crating the position you’re hiring for before you start looking for candidates. Hiring also takes thoughtful pre-screening, effective interviewing, and thorough onboarding practices.  

Also, it’s critical to understand the federal, state, and local laws as they pertain to your employees. These laws are always changing.

To help you navigate these rules and position your business to acquire new talent in 2020, attend the lunch-and-learn seminar on Tuesday, November 5th, sponsored by Paychex.  This class is designed for business owners who want to be proactive about finding and hiring the right people. 

In this free seminar and you will learn the top strategies you will need to hire, pay, and retain employees in 2020.   

This seminar will give you the information you need to get ahead of the costliest mistakes you can make next year like hiring the wrong person, setting yourself up for a discrimination lawsuit, or setting new employees up to fail.

By attending this seminar, you will learn the essential employee recruitment and management regulations and best practices affecting your business. You will also get to ask an HR professional questions about the issues you are facing today
