Holiday Networking

It is really nice to see that the Ventura community has grown so much in the past few years.  As we see the number of invitations grow during this season, we are reminded that the holidays present a wonderful opportunity to network with some of the companies that we didn't get to during the year. For example, we have been invited to the Greater Conejo Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce holiday mixers. It occurs to us that this is a perfect time to establish personal relationships, which will yield business opportunities in the next year. Remember that Human Resources is about relationships and building trust, not only with employees but with employers. It is the one time during the year that everyone is not only nice to one another but wishes only the best for everyone. Introduce yourself and remember to to follow up with a nice note. Relationships all begin with a single phrase, "Hello my name is ..."
With 18 new laws waiting to become effective on January 1st, it is the relationships that we establish during the holiday season that will allow us to help the small business owners in our community to remain compliant and grow while getting to know us.
