8am to 12pm | Presentation
Location: | Hampton Inn, 730 SW Columbia St, Bend
From recruitment through termination, business owners, agency directors, human resources professionals and supervisors should have the tools necessary to succeed in today’s challenging landscape.
This will be a lively, fast-paced, interactive presentation from the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) designed to give crucial information you need to know (compliance must haves), want to know (best practices to get the most from your employees) and where to go (resources for a deeper dive when you inevitably hit snags along the way).
We will cover effective hiring practices, recordkeeping, setting expectations, documentation, discipline and discharge. We will also examine common pitfalls when facing drug and alcohol issues in the workplace or when there is a need to provide accommodations for disabilities, religious beliefs, pregnancy and domestic violence. There will be plenty of time for questions throughout this important training. We hope to see you there!
