WURK HUMAN RESOURCES & PAYROLL IN CANNABIS WEBINAR SERIES
Bye Bye Startup, Hello Scale Up
Presented by:
The cannabis industry is rapidly growing and maturing, with 36 states having legalized medical cannabis programs and an additional 18 states that have legalized cannabis for adult use. As legalization sweeps across the country and operations expand globally, the cannabis industry can no longer be considered small.
Human Resource professionals need to mature faster than the industry to ensure both their current and future employees have positive workplace experiences to improve retention and promote growth.
Watch this on-demand webinar with Nichole Upshaw, EVP of Human Resources at Jushi. You will learn how you can help scale your cannabis business and meet strategic goals by:
- Anticipating future industry trends
- Advise and inform your organization of how it should evolve
- Provide positive employee experiences
As HR leaders, we are responsible for shaping the foundation of the cannabis industry and how people experience it. If we approach this topic together, we will get there faster.
