The Hiring Squeeze: What You Need to Know
32:08Class Description
The pandemic has disrupted America’s economy in unforeseen ways — including an unprecedented shortage of workers. No one knows how it will evolve, but doubtlessly, small business owners have to adapt with new hiring strategies. Questions abound: do I boost wages? What about a signing bonus? How should I invest in my existing employees to retain them? Maybe there are new strategies or even technologies that can help me adapt to what might be a new reality?
This is a real-time issue that deserves a real-time conversation. Join educator (and small-business owner) Hanson Hosein as he engages in urgent conversation with Michael Verchot (Ascend, a national support business ecosystem), Efrem Fesaha (Boona Boona Coffee), and Van Nguyen (Night Light Nail Salon).
In this class you will:
- Understand what’s behind this labor crunch
- Learn new strategies to recruit and retain employees
- Consider new, streamlined solutions that might be less labor-dependent
- Anticipate how to absorb potentially higher labor costs into your pricing structure
