The next installment in the Tire Industry Association’s "Business Management Webinar Series" features a presentation hosted by XcelHR.

On Wednesday, Sept. 19 at 1 p.m. Eastern time, XcelHR will detail its "Ask Laurie" program, which is a free HR consulting service offered to all TIA members. To register for the free webinar, visit http://tinyurl.com/tiaweb0919.

The “Laurie” in “Ask Laurie” is Laurie Viapiano, an HR expert on the XcelHR staff. The webinar will present some examples of previous client questions and Laurie’s answers, which will highlight some of the basic issues facing small business owners today.

XcelHR, which has worked with small- to mid-sized businesses for more than 20 years, now offers its services to TIA members at exclusive rates. “We are excited to be partnering with XcelHR to create better options for tire dealers,” said Wilson Beach, TIA director of membership. “With the many challenges facing small businesses every day, XcelHR will be able to not only help to ease the burden, but they will also ensure that tire dealerships are updated on the newest laws and regulations.”

Tire dealers also are welcome to speak with representatives from XcelHR at TIA’s booth (#40057-South Hall) at the Global Tire Expo/SEMA Show in Las Vegas, which runs Oct. 30 to Nov. 2.
