Our approach to HR & Management Practices. Interviews. Performance Reviews. The works.
All about the systems and techniques Zingerman’s uses at every stage of the Employee Life Cycle.

For managers looking for ways to help your team excel, small business owners needing to don yet another hat and HR professionals looking for a different perspective!

- Be able to explain how Zingerman's works to build a culture of innovation, entrepreneurship, and personal responsibility, balanced by the need for legal compliance.
- Learn about the stages of the Employment Lifecycle and the role that managers play in each stage.
- Acquire a variety of new tips, tools and techniques to improve the staff experience in your own organization.
- Find a network of peers to call upon to help you get past roadblocks.
- Laugh out loud, have a-ha moments and realize that lots of well-meaning and well-run organizations face the challenges you do.
