Fortunella hR
HR Quickie is a fun and insightful view into what HR does, and how it can affect and improve your business. Geared at business owners and managers and solo HR practitioners, we will cover topics from broad - like what is a handbook or what’s the difference between a job family, job description, and a career path - to narrow - like navigating inter-office dating or when/if it’s okay to search your employee’s onsite belongings. Join us as we break down a different aspect of what you need to know about HR each week.
