The 2015 Harvest Group People Academy Live! is designed to educate attendees on how to hire, train and retain quality employees. The event will be held Nov. 18-19 at the Inn at Laguna Beach in Laguna Beach, Calif.

“The biggest problem landscape contractors face today is people, and that is why we are holding this event,” said Ed Laflamme, co-founder of The Harvest Group and a speaker at the event. “The depth and detail of the information that will be presented is unmatched, and the value it offers to companies looking to improve their people management processes is significant.”

Attendees should come away with following knowledge, according to event coordinators:

• How to find and recruit the people you need;
• How to screen, interview, evaluate and hire your candidates;
• How to be sure you are in compliance with state and federal laws;
• How organization charts help save money and bring clarity to your organization; and
• How to on-board, grow and create loyalty with career ladders.

The 2015 People Academy Live! is supported by Bayer and Landscape Contractors Insurance Services.
