Join the Tysons Regional Chamber of Commerce monthly Business Education Program designed to help you grow your business!
Sponsored by the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority.
As a small business, whether you plan to hire one or ten people over the next year or two, it is important that you begin thinking about how to hire the right talent and build an organization that maximizes growth without eroding profitability. Join us in a discussion about how and why the traditional workforce model is changing and how it presents a unique opportunity for small businesses to attract and retain top talent, despite limited budgets and resources. We will share strategies about how to most effectively tap into the flexible work model as well as how to structure work to contain costs and to successfully recruit and hire on a budget.
What you will receive:
1. Understanding the value of part-time and flexible work structures as part of a winning organizational model for small businesses.
2. Tips on how small businesses can take advantage of flexible hiring trends and the best ways to incorporate this strategy into their business.
3. Real-life case studies and testimonials from small businesses in the DC Metro area on how they adopted a flexible work model and the specific benefits realized.
4. Hand-Outs to participants will include a template for creating a great job description, example job descriptions, top situational interview questions to ask, and more!
You are welcome to bring lunch or come early and pick up lunch at Subway in the building and receive $1.00 off your lunch (Chamber coupon needed).
