Creating a healthy workplace culture must be done early and with intention, said Adrienne Haynes and Dwayne Lewis.
To help startups develop a strategic human resource plan, Haynes, managing partner of SEED Law, and Dwayne Lewis, president of Lewis Block & Supply, shared tips as well as lessons learned during a panel discussion that was broadcast live Thursday at iWerx.
In partnership with Mid-Continent Public Library and Square One, Startland News presented the conversation to the public via its Facebook page. The discussion covered common culture mistakes, the importance of self-awareness in leading a business, hiring strategies, helpful procedures and HR horror stories.
Haynes and Mid-Continent Public Library plan to offer an educational workshop to help small business leaders avoid mistakes in human resource management. The event is set for 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 3 at iWerx. The holistic workshop is expected to discuss best practices, lessons learned, insurance coverages and the legal implications of growing your team. Registration details can be found here.
