UNR Extension focuses on human resources for March small business town halls

Date:

The University of Nevada, Reno Extension continues its “Coping with COVID-19” series in March with sessions to support small businesses with their human resources challenges. Town halls with a panel of expert speakers are offered Wednesdays, March 3 for English speakers and March 10 for Spanish speakers.

“Properly managing human resources is one of the most important, and most challenging, aspects of running a small business,” said Buddy Borden, economic development specialist with Extension’s Business Development Program. “Our recent economic downturn has only complicated and increased these challenges for small business owners. But, we have experts who can help guide them and introduce them to methods and technologies that can help them now, and into the future.”

Panelists for the sessions will include human resources experts from TPC Payroll HR Consultants, a Las Vegas-based consulting firm. According to a statement from Extension, the pair “will talk about a variety of important human resources issues and functions, including the hiring process, branding the employee experience, and how to use technology to improve efficiency in all areas of human resources.”

The town hall, “Moving Forward with Technology in Human Resources,” is at 9 a.m., Wednesday, March 3, for English speakers; and at 9 a.m., Wednesday, March 10 for Spanish speakers. Town halls run about an hour.

Panelists include:

  • From TPC Payroll HR Consultants – Kimberly Miles, president and founder (March 3 session); and Bill Cleland, chief operating officer (March 10 session)
  • From the Small Business Administration – Alfredo Cedeno Jr., outreach and marketing specialist
