Workshop provided through Women in Agriculture

Human resources is about attracting, developing and retaining good people.  Chances are your farm's HR department consists of one employee: you. And you probably don't have time to study HR. So why not focus where you're likely to have the most impact - on good hiring. Join us for a power-point free evening of learning, sharing...and chocolate. :)
For more info visit our blog.
What you'll learn:

6-7:30pm HIRING 101 with Jodi Slavik, Employment Attorney

*Why for Women? Can men come too?

    This workshop is an offshoot of Women in Agriculture, work supported by USDA/NIFA under Award Number 2010-49200-06203. WiA empowers women in agriculture to achieve goals and manage risk through education, networking and technology.
    The number of women in agriculture grows every year and more women are becoming farm owners and managers.
    Women dominate the HR profession, comprising 71 percent of HR managers, and in small businesses that lack an HR manager or department, it's often women who are in charge of hiring employees and monitoring their well-being.
    Women learn differently than men: we like to connect with other women farmers and enjoy sharing experiences.
    YES. Men are welcome to attend, the workshop is just tailored to women's learning preferences & to their professional interests, as reported in recent surveys.

Please help us get the word out by forwarding this email to potential attendees and/or by posting the attached flyer (preview below, designed to print on legal size paper).
