Capacity Building: Staffing Options for Small Business
Many entrepreneurs find that they wear every hat imaginable in their small
business. As business grows, many then get to a point in which they need to
figure out ways to grow or expand but there is only so much time in a day – what
is the small business owner to do? This is when many entrepreneurs consider
opportunities to bring on an individual or small teams to help with the work
load so that they can focus on growing the business. Leslie Croghan, Associate
Management Counselor with the Business Outreach Program at Portland State
University will share staffing tips and considerations in implementing interns,
contractors and employees. Which is best for you, where do you start, how do
you fund, and what HR and legal issues need to be considered?
