Building a highly successful team—whether at a restaurant, software company, hotel, or manufacturing facility—is about much more than simply finding the “right person.” Elements like training, work culture and leadership make the difference between a functional team and high-performing one. And, as the “Great Reshuffle” sees workers re-evaluate and re-configure their careers, even the understanding of the “right person” needs to be expanded.  

Learn how to build your own rock star employee team with practical tips from a panel of local HR and hospitality experts as well as the Peoria Forward team, a program of the J. Orin Edson Entrepreneurship Institute. The discussion will cover everything from the initial hiring process (including job posting language and interviews) to onboarding training and creating a supportive work environment. Attendees will have an opportunity to join this collaborative discussion as well as connect with fellow entrepreneurs.  

Learning outcomes: By the end of this workshop, attendees will be able to: 

• Write job postings and conduct interviews that hire for personality, passion and transferrable skills 

• Foster an inclusive and open environment that allows people to innovate and make mistakes 

• Connect with fellow entrepreneurs and collaborate on innovative solutions 

Who: This event is perfect for all entrepreneurs—artists, retailers, chefs, consultants and beyond—who have an existing business and are looking for opportunities to grow their business. 

Where: Join us in-person at Pop-Up Peoria or online. Details provided upon registration.  

When: 5:30pm - 7:00pm (Arizona Time)  |  Thursday,  03/24/2022
