    What It's About

    Thinking about hiring your first employee—or nervous about letting someone go? This peer-to-peer roundtable gives remodelers a candid space to trade real-world experiences from both sides of the equation. Compare what’s worked for recruiting and interviewing, onboarding routines that actually stick, performance-warning systems, and the legal or contractual steps that make exits clean. Bring your templates, stories, and lessons learned. You’ll leave with practical next steps, sample language, and peer contacts to help you hire with confidence and handle departures without fear.

    How to Attend

    Open to all IBS registrants.
