What are your top 3 HR challenges going into 2021? Are you prepared to address those concerns with your staff?

As the pandemic continues, businesses have had to shift the way they do business to adapt to the fluctuating changes. Most businesses have shifted to remote work, or have asked their staff to provide services online or through telecommunications. However, many employers are worried that 2021 will pose new HR challenges that they are not ready to address, and the uncertainty that looms over business owners and leaders can be unnerving.

Do you think you can manage your workplace effectively, engage, and retain talent despite these new challenges? Why is it so important to tackle these HR concerns NOW?

When it comes to people management, business owners and leaders need to be less reactive and more proactive. People are your greatest assets, especially in these changing times. It is important to effectively lead and engage your staff now than later because your staff will be your key to achieving business success – both in the short-term and the long-term.

Every six weeks, Talent Talks for Small Businesses (TTSB) will provide webinars that aim to help you navigate your people challenges; whether it is the recruiting, retaining, or engaging staff who want to come back to work.
