May 20, 2026 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM (EDT)

Description

HR is not optional for any business. 

CBOT & Invest Clarington invite you to join us for HR Essentials: From First Hire to Full Team - a session designed to give you the knowledge and confidence to build your team the right way.

From your first hire to managing a growing team, this event - led by Pauline Gavilanez of Beyond Talent Management - delivers the critical HR insights every business owner needs to grow successfully and avoid costly missteps. Join the session that fits your stage of business:

FOR SOLOPRENEURS: 10:00am – 12:00pm 
Thinking about hiring your first employee? This session will walk you through everything you need to know to hire with confidence. We’ll cover the fundamentals - from understanding your obligations as an employer to setting up payroll, onboarding, health & safety, and more. 

FOR BUSINESSES WITH EMPLOYEES: 12:00pm– 2:00pm
As your team expands, so do your responsibilities. This session focuses on compliance and best practices, including Employment Standards Act (ESA) requirements, workplace policies, employee handbooks, job posting requirements, accommodation obligations, documentation, and strategies for retaining employees. We’ll also review how to stay up-to-date and protect your business while creating a strong workplace culture.

If you're responsible or plan to be responsible for people, you need to be in the room - book your seat today! 

Lunch included for both morning and afternoon sessions. HR Resource Guide included for all attendees.
