EMA Connect Hamilton (August 2025): Recruitment and Onboarding Workshop

Our interactive Connect breakfast workshops for HR professionals, small business owners, and people leaders are back, this time building on the exploration of recruitment and onboarding in our Hire to Retire series.  

How do you make someone feel part of a team before they start?  

Join us in Hamilton for a session facilitated by EMA HR expert Kathy McCombe, inviting EMA Member businesses to share their experiences and perspectives. Through this peer-to-peer learning opportunity you'll hear their stories about what worked, what didn't - and what you can apply to your own processes. You'll walk away from this session with practical ideas and inspiration on topics including:  

• Recruitment and EVP on any budget, and how to make it work for you
• Positioning your position - every job is someone's dream role with the power of storytelling
• Where onboarding really begins, and how to embed it throughout your business without losing the human touch

Creating the moments that matter from hire to retire starts right here - so join us to get it right. These popular breakfast events are also an ideal time to network and create opportunities within your local business community.
