Small Business Tools

Human Resources Quiz
The Quiz is a series of questions to help small business owners and operators with employee recruitment, retention, and leadership.  The answers to these questions will highlight what business owners are doing well and where they might need assistance.  It includes information on proven practices, tips and links to other web resources, and a template to develop a plan to address any identified areas of improvement.

Resource Guide
Once a business owner has taken the Human Resources Quiz, the Small Business Resource Guide is an excellent online, searchable database of courses, training opportunities, articles and other resources for small business owners who want to further develop and improve their recruitment, retention and leadership practices.
