Here's the Course Breakdown:

Decorative: Divider Line
Week 1:Employee

Classification & Benefits

Let’s start with the basics — the employees you already have and the types of roles your company offers. If you’re not 100% clear on who needs to be salaried, hourly, or qualifies for benefits, that’s where we start. And guess what? It’s most likely different for every state, regardless of federal guidelines.

Week 3:On-Boarding

and Employee Handbook

If you’ve been dragging your feet on writing an employee handbook, that’s your assignment this week. We’ll make sure it says everything correctly from a legal perspective and includes the elements you want for your company culture.

Days 30-90:Continued

Access to AskHR

Even though the classes are finished, you can still ask us questions! Keep your access to The HR Library and our AskHR platform for 90 days, so you can finish up your framework and ask all your questions to an HR professional.

Week 2:Compensation,

Selection, and Hiring

Now, we’ll move on to finding the best employee for a role and how to entice them with great benefits. Week 2 is all about the hiring process from start to finish.

Week 4:Performance

Management and Termination

Keep goals aligned by scheduling performance reviews and managing them correctly. We’ll show you how to run a performance review, what to ask, what forms to include, and what to do if someone isn’t meeting the goals you set together. Then, we’ll cover what to do in case of termination.

Working with Marie through my transition at HALI has been an absolute gift. From day one, she brought a steady, thoughtful presence to every conversation—balancing professionalism with a genuinely human touch. Navigating change in a peer-run mental health nonprofit isn’t always straightforward, but CWFS’s support made a world of difference.

The review of the predictive index in person and the expansion on the results over the video call was excellent. Particularly the parts about interacting with each other as a team. On top of that the tag team in between Fran and Carrie was incredibly valuable.
