We are ready. Are you? Paid Family & Medical Leave is a mandatory insurance program that allows employees to take up to 12 weeks of paid leave to care for themselves or family members during serious illness or injury. While employees can’t take the benefit till 2020, businesses have requirements starting in 2019.
This one-hour forum will include:
• A presentation by Paid Family & Medical Leave staff.
• Time for you to ask questions and get answers.
Embrace the new season at the October Business After Hours hosted by Marni’s Petal Pushers Floral and Gift! This locally owned business in Montesano creates beautiful, one-of-a-kind floral arrangements for all occasions. The storefront also has various plants and gifts available for purchase.
Employees can be your most valuable asset, as well as a significant liability to your nonprofit. By approaching human resources from beginning to end, you can set the stage for a successful partnership with your employees. A cohesive environment will set the stage for employees being their best, creating opportunities and creativity. Often these same roles are filled by volunteers and having successful strategies will help you help your organization be the best it can be!
In this workshop we will be covering what you need in place before you are ready to hire, assessing your organization’s culture and best practices when seeking your next team member, what tools and methods can be employed to show them you value them, and how to support your team as a whole when its time for that employee to leave the organization.
The final Business After Hours of 2018 is here! We cordially invite you to help celebrate the season at TwinStar Credit Union this Tuesday, December 11th at 5:30pm.
The Aberdeen TwinStar branch will be hosting this “Full -Blown, Four-Alarm” holiday after hours celebration! Expect an evening of excitement including: appetizers, drink tickets, door prizes, networking and most importantly, fun!
In the spirit of the holidays, please consider bringing a can of food to benefit Coastal Harvest.
What is Business After Hours? Each month, a business or organization in the county receives the opportunity to host this event and offer locals a chance to meet up with some familiar faces and engage with new community members. The host will have the chance to present the attendees with an introduction to their mission, products, purpose and whatever else they like in their own distinctive manner. This is truly an event unlike any other!
