The pandemic has disrupted America’s economy in unforeseen ways—including an unprecedented shortage of workers. No one knows how it will evolve, but doubtlessly, small business owners have to adapt with new hiring strategies. Questions abound: do I boost wages? What about a signing bonus? How should I invest in my existing employees to retain them? Maybe there are new strategies or even technologies that can help me adapt to what might be a new reality?

This is a real-time issue that deserves a real-time conversation. Join educator (and small-business owner) Hanson Hosein as he engages in urgent conversation with Michael Verchot (Ascend, a national support business ecosystem), Efrem Fesaha (Boona Coffee), and Van Nguyen (Night Light Nail Salon).

In this class you will:

  • Understand what’s behind this labor crunch
  • Learn new strategies to recruit and retain employees
  • Consider new, streamlined solutions that might be less labor-dependent
  • Anticipate how to absorb potentially higher labor costs into your pricing structure
