How to Write an Employee Handbook with the Lord at the Helm
We're looking forward to hosting a workshop on Tuesday, December 3rd, 12:00-1:30 PM (In-Person OR online) where Dawn will be discussing how to write an employee handbook that puts godly values at the center of the workplace
Whether you are making your first hire, formalizing your onboarding process and employee experience, or updating your existing handbook, this session will provide a comprehensive review of everything an employee handbook should have - plus, guidance on how to publicize your company's faith and beliefs, naturally drawing applicants who align with your Christ-centric mission, values, and vision.
All attendees will walk away with a beautiful copy of an employee handbook template, and directions on how to fully customize it for your company's needs. We'll provide a companion guide on how to continue updating it after you leave the workshop.
Bring your laptop: we'll get you started writing the handbook of your dreams ASAP!

Hire What You Hate: The Solopreneur’s Guide to Their First Hire
Solopreneurs, you're expected to be everything: sell the business, run the business, manage the cash flow and financial security of the business, manage the employees, and look out for the company's future growth and opportunities. It's multiple full-time jobs for one person! If you're ready to bring on a new hire to help, you might think you need to find someone like you - someone who will get the job done as well as if you "did it yourself." That makes sense on the surface, but in this workshop, we'll dive deep into why you should hire what you hate, as you look for a complement, not a duplicate, of yourself to be your right hand.

Onboarding vs. Orientation Webinar
One of the greatest problems that businesses face is integrating new talent into their existing teams. No matter how skilled, talented, and experienced your new hires are, without clarity around the tasks assigned, duties required, and team members available, you set yourself up for losing your new employees in the confusion and discomfort of acclimating to your company. Turnover is highest in the first 90 days of employment, so today we'll discuss how to create robust orientation and onboarding programs that help you avoid losing the best employees in those first 3 months on the job.
