How often in business these days have you said, or heard others say, running a business is like “trying to hit a moving target”? The phrase has become a cliche for sure.
So in a literal sense, how do you hit a moving target?If you ask a hunter to explain it, they likely will tell you in one way or another that you must do at least the following: identify the target, swing through the target, and follow through after taking the shot.
Thankfully, the experts at O2 Employment Services are adept at keeping their sights set on the moving target in the arena of human resources and labor laws. Next week, on February 2nd from 9:00 – 10:30 a.m., the Redding Chamber will be partnering with the Economic Development Corporation of Shasta County in presenting a virtual “2021 Labor Law & HR Update”, FREE to the local business community thanks to the generosity of O2.
Identify the Target
The rapidly changing arena of human resources and labor laws can be as elusive as a jack rabbit in a thicket. O2 Employment Services will be covering the latest on the following topics:
Leaves of Absence – CFRA

Swing Through the Target
O2’s Jennifer Thomas, Director of Business Operations and Insurance Services, will be leading the webinar. Having been present for her presentations in the past, I know she will deliver a professional and comprehensive update in a way that will hold your attention.
