Protecting Yourself and Your Business

You are surrounded by things that can hurt you, your reputation, and your business. Hired help can be your greatest asset or your most dangerous liability, even if they’re family. Employee theft, natural disasters, technology failures, and more will happen. This session shows you the wide variety of business and human resource risks in the auction industry, their impacts, and helps you prioritize your response and identify protective resources. You can’t avoid all risks, but you can certainly identify red flags and prioritize your mitigation plan.

Upon completing this class, you will be able to:

  1. Identify the pros and cons of independent contractors versus employees
  2. Identify risks from common sources, including hiring- and firing-related risks
  3. Identify surprising but harmful business risks from obscure sources
  4. Prioritize risks and develop short- and long-term plans to mitigate those risks
