Human Resources (HR) Basics for Non-HR Professionals (ONLINE) (MSBB)

For most small business owners and managers, there is a wide gap between hiring your first employee(s) and bringing on an HR manager or team of HR professionals. Yet in the meantime, there are a lot of legal details and best practices to know to best position your business for success.
